DVD Synopsis

One of the most notorious slasher films of the 1980s returns to terrorize filmgoers with this blood-soaked remake that proves just how horrifying high school dances can truly be. Donna Keppel (Brittany Snow) has survived a terrible tragedy, but now the time has come to leave the past behind and celebrate her senior prom in style. When the big night finally arrives, Donna and her best friends prepare to enjoy their last big high-school blowout by living it up and partying till dawn. But while Donna is willing to look past her nightmares and into a brighter future, the man she thought she had escaped forever has returned for one last dance. An obsessed killer is on the loose, and he'll slay anyone who attempts to prevent him from reaching his one and only Donna. Who will survive to see graduation day, and what will Donna do when she's forced to confront her greatest fear? Scott Porter, Jessica Stroup, and Dana Davis co-star in the slasher remake that will have tuxedo-clad teens everywhere nervously looking over their shoulders as they file out onto the dance floor. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

* spoiler alert * I thought this movie was downright bad. The actors themselves weren't so bad, but the story was AWFUL. The killer doesn't kill anyone who prevents him from getting in the way of his objective of getting the girl, but rather it seems he kills anyone who he comes in contact with. The story was weak at best. Practically all of her friends die, and I began wondering what was so special about this girl that 4 of her friends, her family, and several employees at the hotel all have to die to keep her alive? And the deaths were unremarkable, all multiple stab wounds and throat slashings. And defintely not enough blood for a throat slashing.
I gave this movie one star for the monotonous killing (anytime someone went off alone, they died) and the not-so realistic death scenes. The storyline could have been made MUCH better with a few better writers or a better director's vision.
