Brain Hammer?s DVD PICKS for 10/02/07!

Posted by Horror Grinder on October 1, 2007

Kind of a slow week for Brain Hammer approved horror dvds. Only one to speak of, but it’s a classic. Check out this week’s DVD PICK for Oct. 02!

PROM NIGHT (1980): Echo Bridge

“Directed by Paul Lynch, this cult horror masterpiece starring Leslie Nielsen and scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis paved the way for future slasher films. For six long years, Hamilton High School seniors Kelly (Marybeth Rubins), Jude (Joy Thompson), Wendy (Eddie Benton), and Nick (Casey Stevens) have been hiding the truth of what happened to ten-year-old Robin Hammond the day her broken body was discovered near an old abandoned convent. The foursome kept secret how they taunted Robin – backed her into a corner until, frightened, she stood on a window ledge…and fell to her death. Though an accident, the then-twelve-year-olds feared they’d be held responsible and vowed never to tell. But someone else was there that day…watching. And now, that someone is ready to exact murderous revenge – on prom night.”

Echo Bridge’s long awaited anamorphic remaster is easily the best looking version of “Prom Night” ever seen on dvd. They’ve delivered a superior transfer, with better color, clarity, and detail than any previous dvd release. Sadly, there’s no bonus features of any sort – but with a SRP of only $6.99, this should still be considered an essential purchase.
