Prom Night Blu-ray

IMDB - 5.4 ( 8,380 users )

Rotten Tomatoes - 33% ( 18 reviews counted )

Quote:

Jamie Lee Curtis (the “HALLOWEEN” film series) and Leslie Nielsen (“THE NAKED GUN” film and TV series, FORBIDDEN PLANET) star in this celebrated “slasher” horror classic.

Four Hamilton High seniors are hiding a terrible secret. What happened to Robin Hammond six years ago was a game that turned into a horrible tragedy, and someone saw what they did… someone waiting for gruesome revenge! Wearing a black hood and wielding an axe, a killer brutally slaughters the teenagers one by one at their high school prom. As the spotlight falls on the newly crowned prom king and queen, the psychopath will show everyone his new favorite game to play…

I was wrong then, that is the 'second slasher'. One of the better of its ilk, I'm sure Synapse will do it right!

Knew it!

You and me both for different reasons !

It will be a money making title so I can see why he would get it - mainstream titles sell really well and the obscure stuff will appeal to whoever is into those titles (Thundercrack)

Very excited!!!!

I guess Catastrophe's petition really worked!!!

I've only watched this maybe twice but I remember thinking it was pretty good. Hope the negatives aren't in REALLY bad condition. I can't believe the difference between the Echo Bridge and Anchor Bay releases when I looked it up.

I'd rather have Prom Night 2.......

Mr.Dig · 07-18-2013, 11:42 PM

Can't wait! My favorite slasher is coming to blu-ray! Yesss!

Phil92 · 07-19-2013, 12:20 AM

Awful movie. Kickin' soundtrack, I will admit, but this has no place in my collection.

Nice! Hopefully Synapse will release a decent looking transfer because i saw a rare 35mm screening of Prom Night last may and it looked extremely pink! Close to how Anchor Bay's release was but worse.

It's hard to believe people used to walk around unashamedly with sweaters tied around their necks.

I felt so good when I found the Anchor Bay dvd for $3 a few years ago, but I'll still upgrade when it's cheap. Prom Night is an enjoyable piece of a junk.

I love 'Prom Night' (1980)!!! Can't wait!!!
