Prom Night (15)
It's prom night for blonde teen queen Donna (Brittany Snow), but she's a bit jumpy from flashbacks to three years ago when her family were brutally slaughtered by a maniac obsessed with her.,/p>
"You're gonna have so much fun," her aunt tells her, but we know different: said maniac has just escaped from his maximum-security jail and is now inside the hotel where Donna and her friends are whooping it up. It's basically the sort of old-fashioned stalk-and-slasher one might have supposed the Scream movies had made obsolete. Some hope. I kept thinking of Woody Allen's line to the "crazy killer" in his play, Death: "You could be using your time constructively... Take up golf – be a crazy golfer!"
