"The new
Prom Night
is insistently lifeless, which I think is worse than simply being awful. At least awful has some personality to it...the defanged slasher movement once again lays a rotten egg."

"A stalk-and-slash horror movie with precious few slashes, the PG-13-rated
Prom Night
is a tame, by-the-numbers affair without surprises or a point of any kind."

"The movie is bad in the usual ways and at approximately the usual level. I can't quite muster the energy to hate it."

1/5
"While it's certainly not as atrocious as the likes of "One Missed Call," it's certainly one of the worst of 2008, so far..."

"An absolutely awful remake of an eighties teen slasher flick that wasn't any good to begin with...resolutely dumb, dull and predictable."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/4
"It's a bore, even taking into account unintentional moments of humor that resulted in audience members jeering. This is a case study for Filmmaking Ineptitude 101."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1/5
"Tedious slasher flick is both gory and boring."
Common Sense

"For being such a raging cliche, I was surprised at the fact that I really didn't get that bored with it."
Film School Rejects
Kevin Carr
2/4
"Formulaic to the core."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
1.5/4
"The 1980
Prom Night
was by no means a masterpiece, yet it begs the question of the remake: If you're going to make a slasher movie and you take out all the actual slashing, what else is left?"
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
0/4
"So soul-crushingly vapid it makes one hate high school all over again."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
"Outside of a brief clip from "Can't Hardly Wait," there is absolutely nothing in "Prom Night" that is even remotely scary."

Peter Sobczynski
1/5
"Often, fanboys offended by an unsolicited remake of an adored film say "Why don't they remake a bad movie?" Well, they have remade a bad movie, and the result is a worse movie."

1/5
"Amazingly bad. To call
Prom Night
a horror movie is to call chewing gum a cheeseburger."
Cinematical
Scott Weinberg
2/10
"It's tepid fare with a vacuous cast, particularly when compared with the previous version featuring Jamie Lee Curtis as the scream queen."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
1/10
"Director Nelson McCormick has assembled a fairly valuable compendium of almost every kind of false scare known to exist."
