Oral Prensentation on Prom Night

My oral presentation will be on the movie Prom Night. No not the one made in 1980 but the movie that was released in cinemas two months ago and my opinion of it being a total waste of time.

Prom Night, the plot.

Donna Keppel played by Brittany Snow, has her senior prom and its supposed to be the best night of her life. Surrounded by her best friends, she should be safe from the horrors of her past.

But the night turns from magic to murder with the man that killed her whole family. Donna was stalked by her teacher that once lusted for her and he has now come back for her after escaping from the mental health centre he was put in for the previous murders of the Keppel family. Donna and her friends must find a way to escape the obsessed killer, and survive their Prom Night.

Now lets start with yes it’s a remake, and that you would think with today’s technology and outstanding directors that this remake would be much better than it’s original. Heres hoping that it would be scarier but in my honest opinion, they wasted my time and money and have given each of the actors there own movie flop.

Watching the killer poke holes in his victims, which happens in every scary movie you would think that they would come up with something better than him just whipping out his rather large pocket knife every time, it got boring.

You’d watch as the dead body silently dropped to the floor, oh wait my mistake, the killer also shoves a dead body up an air conditioning vent with no ladder or chair that could possibly make him be able to reach the roof let alone the strength he would need because believe me he is no superman, and he manages to do all this with hardly any blood spilled, to me it could have been the cleanest killer in movie history. Speaking of the killer, the director Nelson McCormick picked a fairly good-looking actor to work with that being Jonathon Schaech so they had make sure the camera angles made him appear creepier by throwing him into shadows and in over the shoulder shots. Its like Johnny Depp coming at you with a Knife. Most people would say “Oh Good looking guy is going to kill me? Naaaa..” but their obviously the ones you’ve got to watch out for.

Most of the actual film just about the psychotic teacher killing Donna’s friends one-by-one and the hotel maid, and the bell boy, because it is such a good idea to kill the maid and bell boy so no one become suspicious enough to check to see where these employee's are. It becomes fairly predictable; you can guess everything that was going to happen next. Oh he's in the closet. Oh he has a knife. Oh no he's going to look under the bed. In most movies like this the bad guy can appear anywhere. They'll be a couple feet away from their victim, the victim will turn around, bang their dead, next thing you know he’s at some other place ready to kill the next person. This movie takes that whole situation to the extreme. It’s like the killer
