Talk:Prom Night (2008 film)

message: It says so on the DVD in one of the interviews. The only thing that each movie shares is the title. The director says it himself. Check up on that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.138.159 (talk) 09:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it's not.  It's a re-imagining, like Rob Zombie's Halloween.  I've already had this fight on this page, and the page for the original.  No rational person will watch both movies and think this is a remake.  The lead paragraphs on both pages make note of this. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 11:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

text: It is. A re-imagining is still considered a remake. If you look up remake it will tell you that a re-imagining is a kind of remake. "Re-imagining" is just a term that some studio executive came up with so that they wouldn't have the stigma of the term remake. Also, the IMDb considers it a remake. Allmovie considers it a remake. Several notable movie websites and magazines consider it a remake. Even the producers of the film intended for this to be a remake. If you click the link on the main page where it tells you that it is a re-imagining it links to the remake page. --BigBang616 (talk) 07:11, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Also, if you want to use an example of a re-imagining that you don't consider to be a remake, I wouldn't suggest using Rob Zombie's Halloween. That has the exact same characters in the exact same situation as the 1978 original. That is most definitely a remake. Rob Zombie changed a quite a bit of dialogue and added some extensive backstory for Michael Myers (so there are definitely major differences) but Rob Zombie's version is closer to a remake than this one. At least with this one you have the argument that none of the characters are the same nor is the exact motive for the killer's rampage (just the title and basic plot are the same), but with Halloween you have no argument.--BigBang616 (talk) 08:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yet the Halloween article says it's a re-imagining.  Weird.  Crotchety Old Man (talk) 13:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. It does. I didn't say that it wasn't. What I said was that Rob Zombie's Halloween was closer to a normal remake than Prom Night. You may want to pay attention to what I'm telling you. Also, I mentioned that even according to the page that the word "re-imagining" is linked to states that a re-imagining is a kind of remake. You may also want to note that the page for Rob Zombie's Halloween says it is a "remake/re-imagining".--BigBang616 (talk) 01:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  It's NOT a remake 

message: I'll fix some of the grammar in the synopsis if nobody minds "and stabs her profusely". Hilarious Apple-I-mage (talk) 23:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wording 

message: The plot says "they didn't know that Fenton planned to kill them all,"
but Fenton only decided to kill Donna at the very end of the movie when she escaped from him in the closet. He
wants to kill everybody around her so they can live together.
Apparently whoever wrote that plot summary didn't comprehend the movie very well. 70.242.165.181 (talk) 13:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Killing Donna? 

message: Has it really? I've only seen fake copies of it on all of the BitTorrent sites that I have checked. (They say that a well-known person in the torrent community, aXXo, released it, but it actually requires you to download something and is just overall fake.) And even if it were true, would the torrent tidbit be suitable for Wikipedia? (note that I have no problem with torrents or illegal downloading) I have removed this for now, but if anyone has any input on why they feel it should be here, or if they've found a legitimate copy that has been leaked, please discuss.Ihatecrayons (talk) 17:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Who is 'Mr Fenton' who escaped from the mental asylum?  The teacher?  If so, why is his name given elsewhere as Ramsay?  Are there two people? Does he take a fake name?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.216.160 (talk) 09:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I just removed a little bit of minor vandalism that was left by another anonymous user. It was next to Iris Elba's name and I just removed that. Apparently, there are a lot of immature people out there who love to cause trouble by vandalizing on Wikipedia. I figured that it was the best that I could do.
