What happens

Prom Night is a 2008 slasher film directed by Nelson McCormick. It is the fifth and final installment of the Prom Night film series and serves as a remake, mainly taking inspiration from the original 1980 film. The film stars Brittany Snow, Scott Porter, Jessica Stroup, Dana Davis, Collins Pennie, Kelly Blatz, James Ransone, Brianne Davis, Johnathon Schaech, and Idris Elba. Prom Night follows Donna Keppel (Snow) and her friends during their senior prom as they are attacked by Richard Fenton (Schaech), an escaped convict who murdered Donna's family three years prior. Prom Night was released in the United States by Screen Gems on April 11, 2008, and was panned by critics, who criticized its predictability and PG-13 rating and compared it unfavorably to the 1980 film. However, the film was a box office success, grossing $57.2 million worldwide on a $20 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
