 Although a sequel to "Prom Night", it has nothing to do with the original. Instead, it is an off-beat blend of "Carrie", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "The Exorcist", and perhaps a few other horror movies as well. Like Carrie, the lead actress ends up creating a massacre and she has a Bible-belching mom who makes everyone's life a living hell so they don't go there when they die. The Elm Street influences are evident with Mary Lou getting burned to death while everyone gawks and the numerous surreal events, such as a unicorn coming to life and a girl being pulled through a chalkboard. The garish mid-80's attire and the brightly colored school are equally surreal, though "Nightmare on Elm Street" has nothing to do with those. Where does "The Exorcist" fit in? When Mary Lou dies, she becomes a demon and possesses the lead actress, who then alternates from being a sweet girl and an evil bitch. This prom night movie turns out to be somewhat better than "Prom Night" itself, and it has Michael Ironside, who is a great actor to have in horror movies! Unfortunately, the ending is rather stupid and very reminiscent of the time when Undertaker from WWF kidnapped Vince McMahon's daughter and drove away in a limo. The bottom line: "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" is a fairly good homage to some horror classics. |
