Okay, so like, this totally hot chick’s family got killed by this nut job, see, and then like, on her prom night this [profanity removed] breaks out of the asylum and tries to stab her and her best friend and their boyfriends and half the school to death! How bad is that?

It couldn’t be worse, to be honest. When a suitably muscled, siliconed, nipped, tucked and dyed, demographically correct group of actors (I forget who) can’t get work anywhere else, they star in movies like this one.

As the killer easily catches and stabs them, they might as well be yawning as trickles of blood meander softly into nothingness.

If the movie hadn’t become as hilariously improbable as it did after the first half-hour, audiences worldwide would doubtlessly have fallen asleep. With deafening echoes of The Silence of the Lambs and half a dozen other slasher flicks, Prom Night isn’t even original.

Because the director, actors and crew bothered to show up for work, however, we feel it wouldn’t be fair to give this vague, lackadaisical effort no rating at all.

One can’t help wondering, though, how much better it would have been if they’d all stayed in bed.
