This is certainly one boring slasher movie and that might be because there's no deaths until an hour in and it's lacking what every good slasher movie needs - that is murder scenes and nudity. It doesn't work because of poorly defined characters, a script that tries to throw-out a bunch of red herrings early on and it even gives Jamie Lee Curtis a disco dancing scene to help pad the movie. 

...the result is just . . . blah. Sly but not intelligent, mildly involving but not scary. In other words, average, but not good.

A decent, professionally made horror film, "Prom Night" has all the cliches: the nutty janitor you're supposed to suspect is a killer; the sluts who are slashed first; teenagers played by actors in their 30s.

I have to admit that this movie is one of my all time fave slashers, and I often pull it out to watch it time and time again.  --James (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
