Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The opening does a good job of hooking you, after that it takes about half the movie for things to get going, but when they do, man, you get some of the best horror-camp the 80s spat in your face. First off, the set pieces are amazing - some of them looking like they'd be right at home in a Freddy movie. Also, the main actress sells her characters transformation once possessed, going from a wholesome, high school student into a vicious, murdering bitch. The cherry on the haunted cake is Micheal Ironside, who is always welcome in any movie (yes, even Highlander 2). Then, I suppose, the whip-cream is the girls locker room sequence (boner inducing). Lastly, the ending is spooktacular, with some more incredible effects. I highly recommend this superior sequel, and (spoilers) there's another one.

Years after a tragic accident, a high school's decision to bring back the traditional prom dance results in one student becoming possessed by a long-dead prom queen who tries to ensure she wears the crown again.Overall this was quite the distressing but enjoyable effort. One of the better elements here is the rather nice way it sets up the actual possession here as being quite subtle, taking pretty twisting turns to get that exposed. The initial sequence where the removal of the jewels causes the resurrection of the being and the resulting extravagant kill makes for a great set-up, a later scene in her bedroom being filled with whispering voices as her dolls and figurines come to life being a crazed and delirious sequence while the main transformation scene involves her being absorbed into a chalkboard in a fantastic shock scene that signals this quite well. There's also a lot of great notes here that signal this further from the behavioral change into her past amorous qualities including dealing with her parents before the dance and the general wardrobe change as well with the shockingly gratuitous seduction in the shower altogether makes for a pretty nice and original way to showcase this. It also allows for a couple of rather enticing action scenes as well which is mainly based on the absolutely frenetic and crazy prom sequence that's full of delirious images and scenes including the appearance of the possessed figure from inside her body in front of everyone while the pulsing lighting make the whole thing all the more energetic which combines with the panicked crowds and enjoyable supernatural action to really account for the film's best part. These do manage to hold off the film's few flaws nicely which really starts with the film's rather puzzling decision to feature such strong supernatural overtones in a franchise that went for the realism approach beforehand. The curious decision to feature both possession and reincarnation as main themes here are mishandled anyway by being just so haphazardly placed around in the series that it really tends to stick out here due to that change in tone. Likewise, because this one really makes for quite a disjointed beginning by really making the first half quite challenging by slowly dragging the possession out to a point where the pace in here struggles to get going as it seems to keep recycling the idea of her simply being unaware of what's happening and having both her home-life and school-work suffer due to that. As very few of those tactics, regardless of how impressive they all add together to be at detailing the possession, are hardly all that scary to begin with does factor into that and serves as the film's true flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and Full Nudity.

"Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" is one of the rare Canadian movies to be actually set in Canada (in one scene, money that is clearly Canadian is flashed around.) And that's about all that's positive I can say about this movie. It's a pretty cheap-looking exercise, with poor lighting and most of the special effects looking pretty tacky (though the scene with the chalkboard is a cool special effect.) But the director also seems unable to generate chills and atmosphere at his end as well. The script is also badly written, with long chunks of the movie passing by where essentially nothing of importance is happening, and some unanswered questions like why the evil spirit is killing off people that did no harm to her. The cast can't save it, with the actors playing the teens looking too old and top billed Michael Ironside given very little to do. If you do decide to watch the movie despite what I've said, make sure to avoid the Canadian DVD edition, which has a crappy transfer that just adds to the general awfulness of the entire movie.

Loose sequel to "Prom Night" only uses the same high school, Hamilton High, where another horror takes place as the vengeful spirit of Mary Lou Maloney, who was accidentally killed at her senior prom thirty years previous, is unleashed from a trunk(?!) by Vicki Carpenter(Wendy Lyon) who is dating the son of principal Bill Nordham,(played by Michael Ironside) who, just by one of those standard movie coincidences, happens to be Mary Lou's old boyfriend that she blames for her fiery death. So evil Mary Lou possesses poor Vicki to destroy Bill, and be crowned senior prom queen, no matter who has to die...Typically violent and idiotic horror exploitation is just another illogical and crass film where the supernatural protagonist has all kinds of superpowers because the script says they do, with no regard to plausibility or coherence, with the ending being the final insult.
