I didn’t care two hoots about the Jamie Lee Curtis 1980 pic, I care less about the remake. However…

Hello Mary Lou, Prom Night II was bad ass!

I watched the theatrical trailer, it just look they’ve tried to make lame changes in original story, anyway I really don’t like to watch a remake.

Now why exactly should we care about this remake or the original? I’ve never seen the original and its IMDB rating (4.9) suggests it is a pretty bad movie. Also, the writer of the remake is the same guy who wrote the Covenant and a lot of mediocre straight-to-video flicks. The director has also only worked in television so far, directing 1 episode here and there. So it will most likely be a crappy remake of a crappy movie. Just ignore it.

This PG-!3 shit really makes you want to boycott hollywood. I mean they do this to make money, but they really don’t make anything until the UNCUT UNRATED DIRECTORS EDITION DVD comes out, because people actually think they’re going to see a scary movie, which you still don’t. I’ll continue to watch my movies for free until they make something worth paying for. Hollywood can go SCREW!!!!!
Compliments of Anthony Cumia. Haji.

PG-13 means it’ll make more money. This isn’t really a big deal, there are plenty of better movies than Prom Night to get your gore quota.

If they are going to remake it, remake it right. The Original Prom Night was rated R for a reason. Why make it PG-13, cause teens will see it. Hollywood throws all respect for older fans out the windows, for this junk. What’s even more stupid is that is doesn’t even come close to anything remotely the same as The Original.

I wouldn’t call the original Prom Night a “classic”, so I’m really indifferent to this remake.

"i don’t understand why people bitch and moan so much every time a remake surfaces as it’s only going to keep happening as there a very few new ideas coming up nowadays." This is a common battle cry from people who defend remakes. There are plenty of original ideas and twists on established formulas out there. The problem is that remakes are bringing in the money, so studios are going with the safer bets for now.

You’re missing nothing. Just another lame kill some teens movie…yet again….and again…and again…

I would like to get up one morning and have no more of these “kill a teen” type movies. At least stop making them for a few years. Try to get ppl to forget. Maybe then these flicks will make actual $.

So very happy to see Idris Elba getting work post-Wire. I really dig this actor and would love to see him in more stuff.

A Seriously talented cat.

The movie itself? Likely a pretty generic horror where pretty people get picked off one by one. Until the shocking ending you just won’t believe. Except that you saw it coming 5 minutes into the film.

Hollywood (and certain people on the blog) think that if you throw money at something you will have a good product. Every time they try to remake a horror flick it turns out to be utter crap. Maybe the originals lacked production value, but at least the filmmaker was passionate and genuine about what they were doing. Economically driven horseshit is all these remakes are! I guess I keep forgetting how young some of the posters on this site are.
