 My Review..........


The movie kicks off with kids young playing a twisted game of hide and seek that turn deadly after they tease her too much unit she falls accidentally through a second story window with with glass crash down and impales her killing Robin after see her kill the group vows to keep this a secret and never tell anybody about this and make up a story that Robin was the victim of an attempted sex assault.


Six years have passed and children have become good friends with Robin’s brother, Alex and Kim. On the day of the prom someone is aware of the accident and begins to make threatening phone calls with creepy voice making you think someone was there and wants to play but who was is the question?


The movie too me can of lacks for a hour because they don’t do much with the plot all they did was let Leslie do some dance moves and authorities do discover the mangled body of the nurse that mental patient escaped sort of reminds me of Halloween movie theme there with that some of characters don't do much either though most of it was can of slow.


Now the good stuffs of movie starts during the prom where film shows in that time frame the killer kills the Students who were there at start by having there slit, get burned alive, and even Decapitated which was ok but not scary much this was at the end kim reaction was something after what she did that when acting kick in for Jamie lee came in too play very great acting there. 


In the end the killer Identity was Revealed and it was tough to watch so who was lead for acting in this should of been Jamie Lee but she didn’t do much unit end though there and Leslie Nielsen was nice see him in this even though he was in not in a lot in this movie which was a shame also build up was ok but can of slow some but the ending with it being emotion ending  saved it to me even had me crying some in the end prom night is not too bad of a movie from what I see.



My final rating out of 10/10 is 7/10 because it is good
