Prom Night was one of the worst horror movies, thriller and effects wise.
The story was alright, save for the fact that I don't know how you could escape from a high security insane asylum. The idea was unique, but there was better ways of going about it. I'm not sure if someone would kill everyone around somebody that they love to say that they have no one but them. Of course, I'm not insane, so I could be wrong.
The characters were very bland and unoriginal. The characters react very typically and they don't really bring light to the screen. The killer isn't very original either, and doesn't really react like he should. His killing at the end of the movie didn't really make sense to me, since his aunt and uncle were still alive.
The effects in the movie weren't very good. The fact they didn't have a large budget was very apparent, and they it didn't try to cover it up. The lack of blood during the gunning scene made the scene very cheesy and weird looking.
Overall, Prom Night wasn't very good. With bland and unoriginal content, there was nothing to be impressed with.
