High school freshman Donna Keppel returns home one evening to find her father and younger brother have been murdered.

She hides under her brother's bed where she then witnesses her mother stabbed to death by Richard Fenton, her former biology teacher who had become obsessed with Donna.

As Winn has the hotel evacuated, Donna goes back up to her room to find Lisa and retrieve her mother's shawl; while there, she runs into Fenton and escapes.

Upon heading back into her bedroom, Donna discovers Bobby's corpse, his throat slashed.

The website's consensus reads: " A dim and predictable remake of an already dull slasher film, this Prom Night fails to be memorable.

"[7] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 17 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".

The home media release also includes interviews with Nelson McCormick (director) and other members of the cast of the film.
