July 28: HALLOWEEN star’s next horror remake

On FANGORIA RADIO last night, HALLOWEEN remake star Scout Taylor-Compton (pictured) confirmed that she will be starring in the APRIL FOOL’S DAY update set to be written and directed by The Butcher Brothers (Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores), who made the After Dark Horrorfest sleeper THE HAMILTONS. In negotiations (according to the IMDb) to join the actress are several recent fear vets, including Jessica (HILLS HAVE EYES II) Stroup, Katheryn (AMUSEMENT) Winnick, Beau (UNEARTHED) Garrett, Corey (DECOYS) Sevier, Andrea (DARK WOLF) Bogart and DARK RIDE’s David Clayton Rogers. Original producer Frank (I KNOW WHO KILLED ME) Mancuso Jr. will encore. The first APRIL FOOL’S DAY, released by Paramount in 1986 and directed by Fred (WHEN A STRANGER CALLS) Walton, concerns a group of college kids at a secluded mansion where a practical joke-fueled party soon turns deadly. Sony Pictures will release the new FOOL’S DAY in 2009. —Tony Timpone

[The Dream Master]

Maybe she'll be this generation's scream queen. Say what you want about her, she's some nice eye candy. If anything, the Halloween remake will be seeing for that reason alone.

[CosmoBubba]

I thought somebody already did a remake of April Fool's Day, except that they changed the name to Cry Wolf.

[Ron]

I thought somebody already did a remake of April Fool's Day, except that they changed the name to Cry Wolf.

yeah, I think that Cry_Wolf bears a striking resemblance to April Fool's Day.

[Killa Pimp]

I ask myself:

Why....................GOD................Why!????

Are they trying to makes remakes of every horror film ever made between
1975 and 1990.

Bring on the "Critters" remake!:D

[Shoesalesman]

I ask myself:

Why....................GOD................Why!????

Are they trying to makes remakes of every horror film ever made between
1975 and 1990.

I agree. This is starting to be too much. If I see a C.H.U.D. remake I'm gonna cry. :cry:

[A. Remin' D.]

What the fuck? Is there going to be a Saw remake, too? Jeepers Creepers? Scream?

I love the original April Fool's Day. Great horror film.

[Joshg]

This proves it. No one has good ideas, and are mooching off previous goodies. Bunch of bull! Filmakers truly suck these days, huh?

Let me hibernate for a few, and wake me when there's a retro slasher reproducing age. Then I'll be interested.

[101ant101]

ha, i hope they stick to the original plot and dont try and make it in to there own remake/sequel
ADDED:
and maby put a new twist in

[sCabbOy]

I bet they will actually make the movie have some stupid twist where everyone dies.

[101ant101]

ha. now that would be alright but, if they was gunna do that idea they should do it 20 years later or whatever and muffy invites them back.

im just praying this wont fall apart

[sCabbOy]

A sequel under the same name would be a better ida. This time Muffy kills them all while they all think it's another prank.

[101ant101]

yeah cos she was gunna shoot a vidoe or something like that, but relizses there not what they used to be and then soon as one dies the mystery turns but is it her whos doing this

COMING SOON 2012

sorry im getting carried away

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I bet they will actually make the movie have some stupid twist where everyone dies.

Bwuhahaha!!!! :lol:

Unfortunately, I bet your right. :(

[101ant101]

Bwuhahaha!!!! :lol:

Unfortunately, I bet your right. :(


dunno yet is there any new info on this?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I haven't heard anything about it yet. But I bet they will do it the way scab put it, lol. :p

[101ant101]

dunno but if they do this is going to be a PG-13 no matter what.

sad really the old version werent well nither was the others what they remade

[Just Jeans]

I'm all for it. The original film was decent at best. The concept is a good one, though, and I'd like to see what they can do with it now.

Wouldn't it be funny if Scout went on to star in a remake of Prom Night?

[Cody]

Wouldn't it be funny if Scout went on to star in a remake of Prom Night?

She already missed that boat.

lol the way shes going shes gunna end up the ReMAKE scream queen lol:eek:

[SmiTheReeNs*]

If there tryin to do another April Fools remake, shyt why dont they do a Creepshow remake!

[101ant101]

creepshow is getting remade it comes out 2008

[Just Jeans]

A remake of Creepshow can't be any worse than Creepshow III. *shudders*

[sCabbOy]

Isn't it being remade by the same people?

[101ant101]

dont have a clue dont have any info i just know that it was getting remade heard that quiet a while ago

[sCabbOy]

From what I read the people who did the remake owns the rights to the movie. If they remake it then chances are it will be the same shit.

They are the ones who also are doing the Day Of The Dead Remake (which is being reshot because it was shitty) and the Day Of The Dead 2 DVD

[101ant101]

kool lol do you know anything about TERROR trian yet gosh i love that nameTERROR TRAIN

[NETRA]

Day Of The Dead Remake (which is being reshot because it was shitty)

Isn't that the one Steve Miner is directing? Is he doing the re-shoot or did he do the "shitty" one?

[The Dream Master]

Miner was responsible for the "shitty" version.

Scab, are they simply going back in and re-shooting certain elements, or are they going the same direction that Warners did with the Exorcist prequel, meaning it's going to be almost an entirely different film with a different director?

[101ant101]

The Butcher Brothers are writing this so i got a funny feeling this might have some blood in. (dunno why)

[sCabbOy]

Isn't that the one Steve Miner is directing? Is he doing the re-shoot or did he do the "shitty" one?

I think he's doing both versions. I'm not sure how true this is, but the guys on Dead Pit mentioned it. They said that the finished workprint got such bad reviews at screenings that they are reshooting it. I'm not sure if it's just certain parts, or all.

It has been done for a while though.

[NETRA]

Is 'Day of the Dead' the one that shot in 3-D?

[Just Jeans]

Nah, that was a crappy little Night of the Living Dead remake.

[101ant101]

are we still talking about april fools day. lol

[NETRA]

It's sort of a "stream of consciousness" conversation.

[101ant101]

oh ok :dog::saw:

[hack slash]

April Fool's Day has begun Filming


Stage 6 Celebrates April Fool's Day
Source: The Hollywood ReporterOctober 19, 2007


The Butcher Bros. (Mitch Altieri, Phil Flores) have begun shooting their remake of Fred Walton's 1986 film April Fool's Day.

Josh Henderson ("Desperate Housewives") and Taylor Cole star as rich siblings who throw a bash for their pal, played by Halloween's Scout Taylor-Compton. An accident, however, sets off a chain of events tha leave a high body count.

Sony's Stage 6 will distribute. The Butchers penned the script with Mikey Wigart. "It's pretty much contemporized, with off-beat humor, different settings - something that would jell with today's audience," says Flores.

[French Friday]

It doesn't sound like a straight remake, that's good. It will be different. They have too, because the twist is known now.

I hope the "kills" will look better and more credible than in the original.

And yes, I know in the original there wasn't any real murder, but that made the movie feel censored each time.

I don't know how it will turn out, but I hope it will be better handled (even if the original had good characters, the direction wasn't that good)

[sCabbOy]

I'm sure it will be very different. I'm sure the plot of the original won't go down with today's horror audience.

[The Tall Man]

If Scout wants into my good graces, she can come to my doorstop and blow me. Danielle too. Granny glasses-wearin'-bitch.

Sorry I don't know where that came from. Blame Zombie.

T.M.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I bet in this one they're going to have a twist where everyone dies. :lol:

[DRE]

Well, any film with Taylor Cole in it has got my money for sure. That is the girl who should be Wonder Woman if they're going younger.

[101ant101]

I bet in this one they're going to have a twist where everyone dies. :lol:

doubt it. by the reading of it, its going to have the orginal twist ending.

[The Dream Master]

Come on guys, Scout is cute as hell. How could anyone not want to watch her for an hour and a half?

[sCabbOy]

scout is cute, but only with those granny glasses

[101ant101]

Come on guys, Scout is cute as hell. How could anyone not want to watch her for an hour and a half?

i hate her. i want them to put lil kim in there, and do some jackie chan shit like they done in Halloween 8:p

[MaDMaNMaRz]

scout is cute, but only with those granny glasses

Yeah, she looks cuter with those glasses for some reason.

[Cody]

As reported on B-D (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/10829) and STYD (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=4174), and confirmed by Scout Taylor-Compton in a MySpace bulletin, this movie's going DTV. DVD release date is March 25th.

[The Dream Master]

Yikes. That can't be good, can it?

[Ron]

I'm not sure..sometimes DTV releases are good movies..but on the flip side of the coin you have movies like Are You Scared:side:

[101ant101]

Wicked!

things couldn't get better, im really liking this remake, i hope it will be cheesy and funny and not follow the original and just make it gory.
ADDED:
cool, im down! it sounds good, im hoping that it will be cheesy and funny, and not follow the original and just make it gory.

dude take that back, Lionsgates own!

[Patrick]

LOL.....Lionsgate puts out a LOT of DTV movies....like many studios. Most are extreme cheese but are fun none-the-less. I'm speaking of the horror DTV movies of course.

[Ron]

Usually, but not always, a DTV sequel will suck. I'm not sure if the same applys to DTV sequel.

[Patrick]

Usually, but not always, a DTV sequel will suck. I'm not sure if the same applys to DTV sequel.

You mean to HORROR DTV sequels?

[Ron]

You mean to HORROR DTV sequels?

I may go out on a limb and say MOST DTV sequels. The horror genre is obviously infamous for their sequels. DTV sequels are usually horror, though there are exceptions to the rule.

[Esten]

DTV Horror or titty-flicks.

[Ron]

Yes, Ameican Pie films are an exception to the rule.

[101ant101]

is it to early for me to say, this could well be the best remake ever.:D

[Ron]

This has potential.

[Patrick]

Yea this comes out March 25th on DVD from Sony.

[Ron]

awesome..I'm really looking forward to this.

[101ant101]

awesome..I'm really looking forward to this.

so am i. but i doubt it will beat Black Christmas.

Meh, i'm not really a fan of that cover, personally. :X

[The Dream Master]

Looks like a bad DTV cover, doesn't it? Oh, wait...

:lol:

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Looks like a bad DTV cover, doesn't it? Oh, wait...

:lol:

Right you are, Brett. It looks pretty shitty IMO.

[The Dream Master]

And even worse, I'll probably be renting this the day it comes out.

[Esten]

And even worse, I'll probably be renting this the day it comes out.

See, it's the cleavage that draws us in. Otherwise we'd be all "Meh. Eff this."

[101ant101]

Hell yeah! the dvd cover is nothing special but still gets me hyped.

[kramerfan]

I wont waste tim with it.

[Ron]

It looks like it'll have a cast from the CW.

[Joshg]

I'm not bothered by the cover, but it's not great. Yet, something is making me want to see it. What? Aaaah! It's spooking me!

"That knife is a bit over-shined, don't ya think?"

[hack slash]

Yet, something is making me want to see it. What? Aaaah! It's spooking me!

Boobies!!:D

Not even boobies can save some movies. :p

I always get curious to see how far remakes stray or how how close they stay to the original.

[Spade]

I always get curious to see how far remakes stray or how how close they stay to the original.

That always interests me as well.

[101ant101]

I always get curious to see how far remakes stray or how how close they stay to the original.

that’s what interest me as well, its nice to see if they follow the original, or go a totally different way.

[Ron]

I just remember how disappointed with The Omen remake. If there's one thing that I truly hate it's a shot-for-shot remake. That's why I think I love the Black Christmas remake. Even though it was really out there and ridiculous, it did it's own thing.

[Joshg]

Dispite being one of the most crap-filled horror movies ever made, I respect Black X-Mas '06 for that.

It was original. I took the first one's story, and basically made a sequel. Plus atmosphere and brutality were pretty good.

Omen '06 wasn't good either IMO. Seemed very pointless.

[hack slash]

April Fools could be good, I loved Halloween, TCM, Hills remakes(TCM and Hills being better than there originals and Halloween being close to the original IMO)

[101ant101]

hmm, i dont mind shot-for-shot remakes, as long as it will be fully updated, and add more gore. then i wont mind, but im the same i hated the The Omen. but i never did like the original

That's what I think is great about the Black X-Mas remake. If you update a remake by moderninzing and adding new gore effects then i wouldn't consider it a shot for shot remake.

[101ant101]

im just pumped for this remake. but i dont like the fact that Scout's in it.

[Ron]

Really? I thought she did pretty good in the Halloween remake. Maybe she's taking after the original Laurie Strode, Jamie Lee Curtis, and is going on a little horror binge. It would have been kinda funny if she was in the Prom Night remake though. By the way have they released a trailer for the April Fool's day trailer yet? I know it's DTV, but I was wondering if there was a trailer somewhere that anyone has seen.

she was rumoured to be in Train, but i suppose she didn't want to do it who knows?

i think she done better in Wicked Little Things. in Halloween she was just average for me.

[Ron]

I think I'm a little biased because I thought she was cute as a button in Halloween, but her acting never felt forced to me. I think she will definitley have longevity in her career, but who knows.

what remake you think she will be in next? My Bloody Valentine? The Prowler?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

The Prowler is another slasher that doesn't need to be remade IMO.

as i've said before. every films deserves a remake.:p

:eek:.......:mad:


But it's your opinion, so it's cool. :)

;)

[Joshg]

LOL, no film deserves a remake...except Boardinghouse, hehe. That'd be weird to see.

I think I'll see AFD when it comes out, or around that time. I'm kind of interested. Perhaps it's Josh Henderson.

[hack slash]

Trailer is up:meh:

http://www.videodetective.com/movies/APRIL_FOOLS_DAY/trailer/P00694422.htm

[Cody]

Well, that looks like shit... Like a Lifetime movie from the mid-90s.

[The Dream Master]

Holy shit, that looks godawful. :lol:

[El Rooto]

I'll pass the chance to rent that one up.

[Ron]

That trailer really makes me think this movie will be shit.

[101ant101]

this will know doubt be better than the original.

[Sean [The Wildcard]]

Oh Wow.

That really looks like total and utter SHIT.

I think I am about to throw up.

I was on the verge of laughing throughout the whole think, especially with Scouts delivery of "YOU'RE LYING!!"

Granted, I guarantee you there will be a bunch of 15-17 kids that will love this flick, having no prior knowledge of the GREAT Original.

You guysl summed up my opinion of the trailer pretty nicely.

[Chex]

Well that looked....ummm....very basic channel-like. I did enjoy the bit with the date on the girls gravestone though (1986-2007).

[sCabbOy]

It looks to only be using the original's name and characters, which is good. The movie trailer makes it look boring, stupid and... so not scary. I can imagine how bad the movie will be.

[Cody]

It looks to only be using the original's name and characters, which is good.

I don't think it's even using any of the characters, the only similar things in the trailer are that they're well off and a guy holds a camera at one point.

It's just another movie titled April Fool's Day.

[Joshg]

this will know doubt be better than the original.

Really? I think it will be hard to be better than the original. It was good, and well, the trailer isn't very...promising.

And it's "no" doubt. ;)

[101ant101]

Really? I think it will be hard to be better than the original. It was good, and well, the trailer isn't very...promising.

all it has to do is add gore, and funny one-liners.

[Patrick]

I don't think it's that bad. Yea, it does look sorta tv-movie in a way, but that's not necessarily bad. Maybe the actual movie will look different. I guess I am in the minority. I just like these kinds of movies.

I will buy the DVD.

[101ant101]

I will buy the DVD.

:eek:...........:D im proud of you.

[Joshg]

Hehe, gore doesn't make a good horror movie.

[101ant101]

Hehe, gore doesn't make a good horror movie.

nither does cheap scares, that just leaves you sitting there.i'd rather tons of gore than that.

[The One and Only]

Looks really generic. I'll definitly have to agree it does look like something you'd see on the Lifetime Channel. None of the charm or spirit of the original. It'd be also difficult I'd think to pull off the twist ending that the original did. Which if you didn't know, was either really cool, or left you very P.O.'ed.

[Patrick]

:eek:...........:D im proud of you.

Why, thank you. I am proud of me too. :) It looks alot better than some of the shit that's in theaters these days....tv-movie lookin' or not. I'd rather have cheap thrills than meaningless and endless gore. :D

[101ant101]

Why, thank you. I am proud of me too. :) It looks alot better than some of the shit that's in theaters these days....tv-movie lookin' or not.

you must be god.

I'd rather have cheap thrills than meaningless and endless gore. :D

hmm, so you dont want gore? :eek: im starting to think different about you now.

[Patrick]

What are you talking about? god or GOD??? That doesn't make any sense. What does what i said have to do with that?

And I didn't know you thought about me one way or another to begin with.

Did I say I didn't like gore? I like gore in movies when it calls for it....not when it is present just to be there. If the movie is shit to begin with, all the gore in the world isn't gonna make it gold. I would rather have a PG-13 movie such as the Prom Night remake and have it be a good movie WITHOUT all the gore than have a shitty movie with no story and loads of gore. There's no point in that.

[101ant101]

What are you talking about? god or GOD??? That doesn't make any sense.

god. since that i liked you're opinion. now do you understand?

cant be botherd to read all that.:duh:

[Patrick]

Ummm....ok.

[Jigsaw]

I saw the original AFD on cable years ago but don't remember it. The remake looks awful, though :X

[Patrick]

I need to watch my dvd of the original. Last time I watched it was years and years ago on VHS.

[101ant101]

The remake looks awful, though :X

come on. you got to admit with Scout holding a gun and saying you're lying, and on the verge to laugh you know this looks funny.

[Jigsaw]

It looks so bad it's probably not even funny, it just looks painfully bad to me :X

[101ant101]

It looks so bad it's probably not even funny, it just looks painfully bad to me :X

:cry: okay. :cry:

I'll probably see it when it airs on cable just to check it out, but I'm definitely not wasting some money just to rent it.

:) you put a smile on my face.:D

but I'm definitely not wasting some money just to rent it.

[Fowlees]

This re-make could potentially be filed away under "V" , as in Very Shitty , along with other re-makes suchas Black Christmas and The Fog.

If the trailer is poor (as this one certainly is) you can only imagine how bad the movie will probably be.

I think i will wait for a year or so , then buy it on e-bay for a couple of quid.

[101ant101]

This re-make could potentially be filed away under "V" , as in Very Shitty , along with other re-makes suchas Black Christmas and The Fog

i think it means as in Very funny. and Black Christmas is a good example of what a remake can be like.

If the trailer is poor (as this one certainly is) you can only imagine how bad the movie will probably be.


no, not really. since that if you look at the trailer for Scream, that was a very shitty trailer and that was alright. same as most trailers. it doesn't mean a thing

[The One and Only]

I thought the trailer for Scream was pretty sweet, and lead us to a sweet film in turn. This April Fool's trailer is as flat as a feminist Barbie doll.:meh:

[Harmonic Bond]

I don't think it's even using any of the characters, the only similar things in the trailer are that they're well off and a guy holds a camera at one point.

It's just another movie titled April Fool's Day.


Agreed. If they don't at least use the same twist (in one way or another), I don't see how this could be considered a remake.

[Ron]

I think it's more or less a remake in title only like the Prom Night remake.

[101ant101]

i didn't want to believe what everyone was sayin' about this but this was really crap. this goes right to the bottom of the Remake list with The Fog.
it had somethings going for it but very bad things going againist it. although the prank beats the original prank. 2.5/5

ADDED: i changed my mind i rewatched it last night, and loved it. although i dont really see why this is "unrated".

[Harmonic Bond]

Is this out???

[101ant101]

Is this out???

you can download it. like i did. and if you dont like it then dont waste your money on buying it.

[Joshg]

Or rent it. Seeing how doing what you did is...you know...illegal!

[The One and Only]

^Want to talk illegalities, when you grow up become a lawyer. Until then we're talking about movies on this here thar message board.;)

[sCabbOy]

Sorry, I DL shit all the time. In fact I Dled like 250 albums (105 George Jones, 67 Waylon Jennings, 33 Merle Haggard, 56 Cash and so on). Its illegal but so is a lot of shit we do and don't think twice about. My theory is if it's there for the taking, take it. :D

I DL shit and if I like it I buy it unless it's not available (like 75% of those aforementioned albums).

As for this movie, if I'd DL it and liked it I'd buy the DVD because I am a completest like that. I'd probably even buy it if it sucked.

[TheShowstoppa]

Let's limit talk to the movie and not to bootlegging folks. Thanks! :)

[101ant101]

Or rent it. Seeing how doing what you did is...you know...illegal!

its not "illegal" its called sharing.:p

[The Dream Master]

its not "illegal" its called sharing.:p

No, it's illegal. If you went into the store and took it off the shelf without paying, I don't think the manager would say he was "sharing" it with you. Downloading is illegal, folks. Alot of work goes into making films (even the shitty ones), and it's not your right to just take it without paying for it.

[sCabbOy]

Actually correct me if I am wrong, it's not illegal to DL it's illegal to make the files available for download?

Because all we know is that the files are not under any copyright. I.E., available for free download by the band- like Ween, for instance, they make their files available for download for free.

Anyways let's get off this subject.

[The Dream Master]

Downloading is illegal, too. If an artist puts it out something themselves and says it's okay, that's a different story. The whole point is that downloading something is a copyright infringement because whoever uploads it is illegally distributing something they don't own. It's just like the FBI warning at the beginning of DVDs and VHS tapes: you're not allowed to make copies and distriubute them. Anyone in possession of it would be complicit too.

But that's all I'm going to say about. Let's get back to discussing April Fool's Day.

[Joshg]

There's a lot of hate going around from the people who have seen this film. It makes me scared. :( But I still wanna see it. If anything, for a review.

[The Dream Master]

Josh, you mean the trailer didn't scare you enough already? :D

Here's the deal guys - I've asked politely, now I'm not going to be nice anymore.

Down - right - period: Yes - It's illegal to download movies. There's nothing more that needs to be said as far as debates go about it, so there doesn't need to be any more discussion on it.

For the last time - Let's keep the talk on the movie. If you don't have anything else to say about it, great. Don't post about it or argue about legalities here. PM each other.

I picked this up today despite the poor reviews. Wow even worse! This is by far one of the worst movies I hjave ever seen and worst remake I've seen. Pahtetic. I'm amazed how bad it was. The Butcher brothers lived up to their name.

The lowest I rate a movie is normally 3/10. This travesty gets a 1/10. I'm in shock how bad it was. Makes the Fog look classic.

[The Dream Master]

I saw this at my local store today. I considered buying it, but the store made the mistake of putting it right next to Lost Highway, which was also (finally) released today on DVD. Guess which one I ended up getting? :X

[nottidelterrore]

I saw this at Wal-Mart today for $20. I laughed & walked right by it. I'll stick to the original, which I got from Wal-Mart a few years back for $5.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I wouldn't spend that much on this turd, lol. I've heard nothing but bad things about this one. Some people have said this is more like I Know What You Did Last Summer. :X

[kramerfan]

I wont be wasteing time on this either.

[TheShowstoppa]

I passed it in my local Blockbuster yesterday. I passed it and instead moved immediately to 8 Films to Die For. I didn't get anything cause I got a phone call and had to leave, but if I can manage to rent this without having to actually pay for it (IE the free rental program), I'll watch it - Can't be any worse than the original... and I'm sorry but the original was... Crap.

However - If I must pay the 3.50 for the rental - I won't be out too much money.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm going to wait and buy this used for a few bucks. I can't see spending any more on this turd.

I always loved the original April Fool's Day...but to me, this looks more like a remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer, but even worse than that. :lol:

[Joshg]

I love IKWYDLS.
And the original AFD. But AFD's rewatchability is very low.:( Too bad.

[girlychaos]

I love IKWYDLS too. I honestly enjoy watching it and I do so every now and then.

I also love the original AFD but it's been a while since I last watched it. I'm sad that the remake seems to be so bad, but I was already expecting that.

[Lance Lives]

I saw this last night at Wal-Mart...the cover art alone is embarrassing to look at.

[God of Thunder]

it just never ends, does it?

[The Dream Master]

I saw this last night at Wal-Mart...the cover art alone is embarrassing to look at.

Then again, I have a feeling that the cleavage on the cover is the best thing about the flick. :X

[God of Thunder]

I'm beginning to notice a connection. Out of all these remakes, not a single one of them has jack shit to do with the original, which is really starting to irritate me. Black Christmas, Prom Night, the upcoming Silent Night, Deadly Night remake, and now April Fool's Day.

[nottidelterrore]

The cover is incredibly lame looking. I love the cover to the original. Hell, I even like the re-issued cover to the original way better than the remake cover.

[Patrick]

I haven't seen this yet. And as much as I like these types of films, I think I will have to wait to buy this one. Maybe I can get it before long at Blockbuster for a few bucks. I don't wanna pay full price for standard dvd's nowadays....especially with wanting to add to my Blu-ray collection. I mean, Prom Night II was $9.99. That's a reasonable price. But $20 for a standard dvd....nah.

[kramerfan]

Ive heard nothing but bad things about this film.Thats why i only buy 70s-80s and a few early 90s slashers anymore.

[i am SAW]

this is not a remake.
this is not a horror film.

with that said, i thought it was pretty good. i like Scout Taylor Compton, and i final scene caught me by surprise.
