Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987)
Good as a Comedy! Horror? NOT!
This movie is awful. Made off the success of Prom Night (Yes all you young people who think the first Prom Night sucked, it was a success!) which has no bearing off the first film. This movie is more of a ripoff of other movies because in 1987, slasher films were not making money anymore, and producers needed to find ways to make millions. So, why not steal the name off a movie that everyone recognizes and likes, rip off Nightmare on Elm Street, and Carrie and call it a movie! I thought it was a campy comedy of a film not even a serious horror film.
My one question to all Original Prom Night Bashers: If the first prom night was so bad, why did they use the name for a sequel? :) My advice, if you are drunk and bored, watch this film!
The Ruins (2008)
Morbid and Tasteless Movie
This movie was completely awful. Not to mention morbid. I am a huge fan of horror films. The only reason this move is considered horror is due to the amount of gore. Nothing else. The acting was decent but that was about it. They should have changed the name to "Killer Vines". There is no story around the ruins. Why are the vines evil? Why those ruins? Nothing is mentioned why. The only suspense is at the end, as she runs away from the villagers. That was suspense. The rest was non stop gore. Don't waste your money. Most important, don't eat during the movie. What is scary about killer vines? Maybe they will come out with a sequel that will explain more story then this.
