Prom Night III: The Last Kiss (1990)

Memorable, crazy movie

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Now I know I am likely in the minority here (based on ratings of each individual Prom Night movies), but I think this is the best and my personal favourite of the series. A sequel really to Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II and not the original as Mary Lou Maloney returns for new blood at Hamilton High. Ron Oliver penned this script as he did in part 2 and co-directs with Peter Simpson who produced each Prom Night movie. Mary Lou is played by Courtney Taylor this time and is more angry, more violent and sexier than ever. This time she is after 'Average Joe' Alex Grey (Tim Conlon), who she starts setting his life up pretty well as long as he can just return it with love. Problem is she leaves corpses in her wake. Interesting, clever and original deaths along with a great sense of humour make this one I really have enjoyed over the years. It is more of a comedy-horror film. Also starring Canadian and former boxing great George Chuvalo as Alex's teacher Mr. Walker. Give it a chance and maybe you will enjoy it, too.

Prom queen Mary Lou Maloney has escaped from Hell and is killing in Hamilton High School once again. Alex Grey is an average student and unlikely to get into medical school. His best friend Shane Taylor is another idiot. He is always bullied on the football team by star Andrew Douglas. He forgets his anniversary with girlfriend Sarah Monroe. Late one night, he has a sexual encounter with Mary Lou. Mary Lou starts appearing helping him academically and athletically. He helps her bury the bodies.This is trying to be campy. The problem is that it's not funny. When it tries to be funny and fails, the movie feels deficient. Courtney Taylor has the pin-up beauty of Mary Lou but she doesn't have the charisma of Lisa Schrage. None of the movie is actually scary. The last act in Hell doesn't have any real intensity. In fact, the people suffering in Hell are so lifeless that it makes the movie stumble crossing the finish line.

This third movie in the series which ends up being a really fun comedy at times.If you looking for Horror movie this is not one at all, As this sequel to second bring back Mary lou again.This movie was no were near as good as Part 2, I not sure if liked this better then first at the moment.I did find some of this movie more fun to watch then the first prom night movie. Some of the deaths were very, what that word I am looking for, Fizzy , yeah go with that. I didn't really like Hell scene in the movie, seem out of the place and the acting in this movie was not bad,I give 4/5 out of 10

This wasn't the greatest sequels of the genere, but it has a lot of bright spots through the movie. This Mary Lou was a lot more sultry than the one in the second movie. Mary Lou was vile, but then again, she was a lot clever than usual. I liked the part where she seduced the pawn to her scheme. And I also liked the part when the football turned really deadly. And what do you have to say about that? SCORE!The only downside of the movie is there are a few well known stars in this movie, however, I enjoyed the plot, the storyline and the results of what went on throughout the movie. It could use a little more scare factor, and there's happen to be some comedy as well. It was fair, and slightly better than the second one in my opinion. Rating 2 out of 5 stars. 5 out of 10.
