Brittany Snow Reflects On Prom Night Remake's Brutal Reviews
Brittany Snow has discussed her reaction to the critical panning of Nelson McCormick's 2008 film Prom Night, a loose remake of the 1980 film of the same name. Snow is now best known to audiences for her role as Chloe Beale in the Pitch Perfect franchise, but also has a starring role in another horror film currently in cinemas, Ti West's X. Snow is additionally soon to direct her first feature film, September 17th, which will star Kid Cudi.
In the 2008 version of Prom Night, Snow plays Donna Keppel, a high-schooler whose entire immediate family is murdered by her former biology teacher and stalker Richard Fenton. On the night of Donna's high school prom, Fenton is found to have escaped from prison in pursuit of Donna. He goes on to kill everyone who gets between him and Donna, including both strangers and Donna's loved ones. While the original film also tells the story of an obsessed killer attacking students on prom night, its overall premise is fairly different, following instead a group of students who contributed to the accidental death of another girl when they were children. The protagonist of the film is Kim, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the sister of the girl who died and a classmate of the students who were there at the time. Without going into spoiler territory, the two films fairly radically diverge from one another in terms of plot, and their main similarity is the prom night setting of the horror that unfolds.
