10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made

While not the most iconic horror movie ever, the original Prom Night, starring the scream queen herself, Jamie Lee Curtis, was a crucial forerunner for the golden age of slasher films in the 1980s. The remake, however, for lack of a better word, was a dumpster fire.

In addition to carrying over virtually nothing from the original, save for the title and general concept, it is objectively one of the single worst horror moves of the last decade and beyond. It is a movie that, once again, uses blood and gore to mask the fact that there is nothing of any actual substance. Worse yet, even the blood and gore isn't done even sort of well.

The original Prom Night was an effective murder-mystery story, with victims being picked off one by one by an unknown killer, and the audience trying to figure out just who's behind it all. This culminates in a rather sad ending (though not for the reasons you may think.) The remake, however, tells us exactly who the killer is from the off and makes sure to remind us throughout, making the entire film utterly pointless.

The best thing about the original Prom Night was its sense of mystery, and among the remake's awful reworked story, lukewarm acting and lame attempts at being scary, it couldn't even let us have that.
