Synopsis
If you're not back by midnight... you won't be coming home. A little girl is accidently killed playing a game with other kids in an old deserted schoolhouse. The kids swear to silence, but someone saw them do it. Six years later, the same kids are anticipating the senior Prom and the night of their life. However, that shadow from the tress - the one who saw their deed - has chosen this night to seek revenge. It is going to be a Prom no one will forget.

Critics' reviews
  • "Director Paul Lynch seems to capture the spirit of the genre here, but spends a little too much time setting up each murder, thus eliminating some suspense."
  • "'Friday the Thirteenth' meets 'Saturday Night Fever'. Good and promising actors -- people who deserve a better film the next time -- are too numerous to name"
  • "'Prom Night' is a comparatively genteel hybrid, part shock melodrama, like Halloween, and part mystery, though it's less a whodunit than a who's-doing-it."
  • "A dreary, Carrie-type shocker about a high school student seeking to kill a bunch of classmates on their prom night. Very few thrills"
  • "'Prom Night' is better than most slasher movies, mainly because it's funnier."
  • "A slow-moving but otherwise efficient Canadian B-movie that gives the audience what it came for: blood and guts"
