    UTTER UTTER RUBBISH

    This film was completely pointless from start to end - even tho it had no real end to speak of. I would recommend that you do not waste time, money on this complete rubbish.

    very good, very different horror

    they just dont make horrors like this too often these days, feels like an idea that could have been done in the 70's or 80's but with much worse special effects....

    if your sick of american remakes of asian horrors (that never live up to the origional films) and you dont want to see a film about a 7 year old boy/girl with the ability to vanish into thin air and kill adults without touching them, this film could be for you...

    by no means perfect and the lead actor is very wooden, a few tings seem highly improbable and they could found hotter girls walking down the road for the two girls but this all kinda makes the film feel realistic, this isnt a shiney hollywood film where everyone is catwalk perfect - adds to the believability of a rather unbelievable plot..

    Very entertaining throught, recomended for horror fans, sepecially if you like the older films too (1970's to 1980's gore horror, american/italian particularly)

    7.5/10

    High school slasher remake Prom Night has slain the competition to take the number one spot at the US box office, new figures from Nielsen show. The horror flick, which stars Hairspray's Brittany Snow, Dana Davis of Heroes and Reaper's Jessica Stroup, raked in $22.7 million (£11.4 million) on its opening weekend to beat fellow new release Street Kings - with Keanu Reeves and Forest Whittaker - to the top spot. Casino caper 21 dropped to number three, while family fantasy Nim's Island was... Read more
