A shy but brainy high school girl who returns for senior year after having slimmed down six dress sizes. She finds herself flirting with the handsome English lit teacher, but the mutual crush turns deadly when the teacher's obsession with the student compels him to exact maniacal revenge on everyone who was cruel to her. Sounds good? Want to see it in theaters? I know you do. How about waiting for March 11, 2011. And no, that is not a typo on my part. Copied off the page, along with a couple other bits of info about the project avaliable HERE.

Damn that's a long wait, but I'll stick it out. This sounds great so far.

I was one of the few who really liked the Prom Night remake, have no idea why people hate it, is was very entertaining.

People hated it because it felt half-assed, and i'm not the only person that thought, but anyways this film actually sounds MUCH better then the remake, hopefully it will be tated R and it won't have a pathetic killer.

I did not think it was half assed, I think most people went in hating it, that why it was hated, cause it was not half assed a bit.

No, some people were willing to give it a chance, but there was really nothing all that noteworthy about it and some people hated that more then others, I just found to be a harmless if extremely forgettable slasher, hopefully this film will be much better. And whether PR was alf-assed or not is your opinion, NOT a fact.

I just don't see how it was, maybe if someone would give valuable discussion pieces instead of sounding against it, they would have more weight.

The kill scenes that they actually showed were very poorly edited and looked like someone was having a seizure. But getting back to that, most of the kills were off-screen and, though the film was bloody for being PG-13, it just doesn't amount to much. Slashers are meant to be R-rated and gory. The killer isn't in the least intimidating, and sometimes I even began chuckling while watching him stalking around. They could've at least hired someone that could act crazy. This guy seems perfectly calm and almost uninterested with what he's doing. Which is just wrong. He has no energy. The soundtrack is filled with awful, trashy new-age stuff. I, for one, didn't care anything about the cast. They just seemed like your usual snooty, snuck-up teens. No stand-out qualities about them, they're just cardboard cutouts. That's about it really. There was some cool stuff, the dance had good atmosphere and when the black girl got her throat slit was alright. And the discovery of the body in the trunk was pretty neat I guess. But everything else was just... meh.

You took the words right out of my mouth about the killer, the actor playing him just looks incredibly bored and dosen't look like he's even trying to act half the time, it looks like he just did the film for the paycheck and nothing else. I liked the soundtrack though, it was one of the few high points of an otherwise unremarkable film, teens were pretty average, i've seen better but i've also seen worse. And yeah it was a kinda meh film, one of those films that was just average in almost all aspects.

Average to one, perfectly fine to another, but most went into this wanting to hate it. But look it was like the late 90's slashers, that is why I liked it.

To be honest... people never really gave Prom Night a chance. people who were saying they hated it already from the trailer hated for one reason because it was PG-13!
if you don't like PG-13 then why see them? thats what i don't understand.
but this film does sound good and i like the Prom night remake feel.

I didn't go in wanting to hate it, I went in with neutral expectations and they were pretty much met, and it wasn't just the rating that made the film average, it was alot of things, pathetic killer, average acting, unnecassrily drawn out and suspenseless stalking scenes, etc.

Quite frankly, a PG-13 remake of an R-rated film is just too stupid for words and something I don't support. I won't say the movie sucks but I can say the pointless idea of PG-13 makes me pretty sick, especially when the original Prom Night got away with an R rating back in the 80's and became a pretty big hit. Why not just go balls out for an R rating now? What's the fucking deal?
These filmmakers (of the Prom Night remake) obviously cared more about box office performance and sucking off the MPAA then making a movie for the sake of horror. End of rant.

But the original Prom Night now would be PG-13 as well. We have come a long way, things like Saw is hitting the cinemas, they have lower standards.

Nah I doubt the original would be PG-13 now, especially since it has a decapitation in it, hard to get away with a PG-13 rating with that.

Prom Night would have been R in the late 90's.

The original or the remake? Cause even the unrated version of the remake seemed tame.

The remake, it would have, slashers in the late 90's were not really bloody at all. But thanks to films like Saw the standards are different now.
