Wow was I ever pissed when I heard this was going to be remade. But like a trainwreck or very bad car wreck, I was immediately drawn to it, and it was everything I expected. Bad acting, bad plot, plot holes and a FALSE, FALSE, ENDING. What pissed me off even more is this had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL WHATSOEVER. So the fucking hack director decides to slap THE NAME of the original on it, when it has NO TIES to the original. No similar characters, characterization, plot, ANYTHING. Not a fucking thing close to the original. PISSED ME OFF. They should have called it Prom Night 2008, or Prom Night: The New Shitpod MTV Generation. Prom Night New Beginnings. ANY OF THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE. Because this has nothing to do with Prom Night 1980!!!!

Some people have a lot of problems with the original because it is "slow." Well, I think they are slow. There is nothing wrong with the original. A horror film doesn't necessarily have to have excessive gore to make it a horror film, that is not the point. What makes it terrifying is the situation. Well, with this little remake gem, it goes way over the top. Once again, this is why I don't like remakes. They take something original and stomp all over it and try to make it better. They should just leave them be...and re-release them. Overrated and over the top. It was okay. But it's not a favorite.

I saw this movie again last night, and I have major issues with it. I think it has to do with the FAST RUNNING ZOMBIE trend. I'm over it. Get over it. I really don't think zombies would be these fast running adrenaline pumped creatures. They would be slow, like in NOTLD. There would be a lot of them and that would be overwhelming, but I highly doubt they would be like anything in 28 Days Later and this remake, which has too many annoying camera techniques that piss me off, and once again a lot of stupid ppl doing stupid things. Like the dog. They were just way too concerned about that dog during the zombie crisis. That was just not needed in a zombie epidemic and completely ridiculous. I love animals more than anything, but why the fuck would you care about a dog? You should worry about yourself instead of a fucking dog in a situation like that. Especially when everyone is panicking and there is absolute chaos. GET OVER THE DOG ALREADY!!!!

Rob Zombie's Haloween huh? First off John Carpenter OWNS Halloween NOT Rob Zombie. I am a big fan of Rob, but he should have known better than to have remade this horror classic. I was so pissed...I think I almost threw out all of my White Zombie CDS...yeah..I take my horror films pretty fucking seriously. This was crap. TOTAL SHIT. Don't see it unless you just want to be pissed off.

The original is so much better, I am okay with this one, but I am not a big fan of remakes. It had its creepy moments and I loved the directing and acting, but Ju-On is SOO MUCH BETTER.

Wow did this piece of shit EVER suck. CGI deer. Thanks again Peta...Not to mention my favorite part..."I'm not your fucking mommy!" I was embarassed for Naomi Watts because she is a GREAT actress, and I am sure she is embarassed too...I hope they pick someone else to be in the third...like Jessica Simpson..Jesus...God...

Dear God..WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ohh, because we will make a fortune if we put Paris Hilton in this movie and put her in a red bra and panties!!! Because "That's Hot." Um, no. and then she has the NERVE to say it's hotter than the original? I hope that Vincent Price comes back from the dead and betchslaps the dumb outta her...fucking whore.

One thing that pisses me off more than anything. When films puss out and go for the "we can't let the audience down ending" Fuck that shit. IT'S A HORROR FILM!!!!

another remake that sucked. Cinematic punkass Bay decided to remake this film because the title was "sooo cool" {It's the truth. Look it up in the press kit.} He doesn't have a fucking clue about anything except for The Transformers. I will give him credit for that much. The truth is the on-screen gore {yawn} and violence {double yawn} couldn't stand up to the visceral terror Tobe Hooper delivers in the original. The ending was okay. If you see it you will know what I am talking about. "The Ending."

Julia Stiles is a TERRIBLE actress. I don't know why they picked her...but still this movie sucked ass.

To tell the truth this movie was so boring to me, that i shut it off about thirty-five minutes into the film. Then the next day, I tried to watch the rest...shut it off again..and finished it the last day I had to take it back. So what does that tell you? FAIL.

Once again we have another classic that gets a colorized version of crap splattered all over it. Why? Because ppl don't like black and white because they have the attention span of gnats and think it is boring. The only reason I have this is because I have OCD and collect zombie films. OTherwise I wouldn't have even bothered picking it up in the first place. The same goes for most of the horror films I own. If you can't watch black and white or read subtitles, I suggest you really get over it, because you're missing out on the best films ever made. I give it one star because it tried...Tried to be a zombie film, but at the same time. FAIL.

HAHAHAHAAHA!!! I have never laughed so hard in all of my life. What a total piece of shit. Plus they cast "Buffy" Wow. I'm so scared. Yeah, scared that I might go into debt from buying so many dumbass horror remakes.

I actually got to see this one for free because my friend works at the movie theatre. What a waste of time. The Japanese pwn over all, and I am really sad when I hear about "OMG GUES WAT DEY R REMAKING DA GRUDGE 3!" ... Um, fuck you. Just fuck you. AND PULL UP YOUR PANTS!

There are so many things wrong with this movie I just don't know where to start. Okay, maybe because THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL!!! >_< Gee, I don't remember when the guy goes nuts, and eats the "Xmas cookies with the glass of milk" {eyeroll} Once again, just another stupid remake with unnecessary gore to make us um, get scared? When will directors learn it is not the gore that makes us scared. It is the psychological aspects and mindfucking? Yep. Black Xmas 1976 was creepy because it had terror. Things that could actually happen. Not this ridiculous over-the-top killer...I am giving this one star because of the crystal unicorn. and we all know how much I love unicorns. ;)

Yeah, um okay. If someone remakes another Japanese film and puts a overrated American actor in it...I'll scream. This...was HORRIBLE. Bad acting, directing, producing, plot holes, stupid, stupid, STUPID. I think I cried at the end...because it was that bad...I'm pretty sure I cried at the end of Halloween 2007. Like I said, I take my horror films very seriously and this was my favorite and they fucked it up!

Super pissed about this one. I will have something to say when I watch it...because I am drawn to horror remakes like bad trainwrecks, plus I love to spread the word about how much they suck so other ppl will get a clue and just stop watching them altogether. I hear that they are going to remake the entire Dead series...won't that be nice? I guess they will get Britney to play Trash. No shit. This is not a lie.

Dear Jessica Alba, you cannot act. also you are not that hot. You cannot hold a candle to Monica Bellucci's beautiful, talented, and {real} ass. You suck as an actress and all your dumbass fans need to get over you. Signed, Freddi Filth. PS. I hate Dane Cook because of that shitty fucking romantic comedy you made with him. Thanks a lot you dumb, talent-less, slattern.

Damn straight! I hated all these remakes except Dawn of the Dead, The Ring, and NOTLD. But I must admit, the Japanese versions seem to lack emotion. It's hard to get scared when there's no emotion.
