Ok this is one of those pointless remakes, such as 'Last House on the Left' etc etc... But it had its good points! Before you start going "fuck you, you don't know what your talking about yaddy yaddy yadda..." YAWN!Hear me out! So yeah its a crappy remake which we are all getting sick of, but at the end of the day this isnt gonna end soon is it, the film companies don't really want to risk on big screen releases for films that arn't going to garentee them money back. I mean i enjoyed 'the Ruins' but honestly who saw that movie at the fucking cinema... I can't even remember a cinema showing it here in the UK!
Ok so ignoring it as a remake, this movie was a pretty good psychological thriller, centres around a relatively standard looking chick called Donna, its her Prom Night, just three years after she had to watch her former biology teacher slaughter her family due to his obession with her. She now is slowly getting back on track has a perfect boyfriend and a likeable set of friends, which is rare in movies recently, you actually want these kids to survive because they arn't rude obnoxious twats. So yeah whilst at the prom word gets out that the psycho teacher has broken out of prison and could be headed to the prom to claim his woman!
And he has... The cops do everything they can but he still slaughters his way through most of the cast, in not the most inventive ways... mostly a knife to the guts, but as my girlfriend pointed out whilst watching it when i was whineing, it makes it more believeable than if you started doing inventive kills with toilet paper and vases.
So yeah this movie is ok, not fantastic but not shit, so if your main reason for not watching it, is that it is a remake... you are an idiot, give it a go! View it more as a thriller than a balls out horror and you will get more from it. Its only a 15 i hear you scream, thats mostly because there is no boobs or mass gore in it, its more psychological!
Ah well I enjoyed it.
