| eye Weekly Philip Brown  How is it better for young audiences to watch a movie filled with the unmotivated slaughter teenagers simply because the actors don’t take their clothes off or get decapitated? Just because exploitative trash is cleaned up and polished doesn’t mean it isn’t trash. It just means that audiences are denied the few empty pleasures they expect from their garbage. Kind of like if McDonald's sold a sandwich that was just lettuce on a bun. | 1 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Sony is releasing Prom Night under their Screen Gems imprint. Gems? More like turds. | 5 | |
| ScreenItBeyond its current pop soundtrack, the film offers nothing new in the ways of scares, and is so standard-issue it easily could have come from the 1980s like the first flick. Bland characters and recycled boogeyman material mean this Prom Night won't be one looked back on with any sort of fond memories. | 6 | |
