atinder 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

Boba_Fett1138 Simply said, I enjoyed watching this movie better than its two predecessors. It therefore also was a better movie, even though this one is also far from an exciting one. It also really ain't a great movie but at least it knew how to be fun.Thing with this movie is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It has a kind of campy '80's horror atmosphere all over it, even though this movie got released in 1990. I would say it's more of a comedy than an horror really. Not a great one but a fun enough one to watch nevertheless.The fact that this movie is more entertaining to watch really is the only reason why I liked this movie better than the first two movies. Nothing else about this really lets the movie stand out. Poor acting, poor directing and predictable all the way, without offering any surprises or originality. But you can just never expect too much from a straight-to-video sequel of course. It's far from an interesting movie to watch and there also is not always a lot happening in it. Especially for the fans of horror this movie will fall short and perhaps the movie could had used some more gore it.Really nothing too great but at least its being somewhat fun.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Jay Bethke I'm a bit surprised by all of the negative reviews of this film ...it's got more wit and grue than 90% of the films of its genre and era, yet it's called "crap" (which says little for everything else). Yes, PN3 is very juvenile, but so is the intended audience - the evil heroes of horror of the late 80s and early 90s generally play to such tastes. The male lead is easy to like (the chemistry between he and his girlfriend reminds me of that of the lead guy and his girlfriend in "Fright Night"), as is the actress portraying Mary Lou. The film doesn't pretend to be anything more than a "USA Up All Night" flick, but the dialog, style and gore of the movie are all above average (I think of "Girlfriend From Hell" as the prototypical decent "USA Up All Night" film, and this one is definitely in a class above). The horror just erupts from nowhere in this film, like the scene in which the principal cuts off his finger and wind starts blowing all over, slamming doors shut ...my reaction to this was a big laugh: what a great, madcap way to foreshadow. I love films in which the hell just starts right away and keeps going until the end (Evil Dead 2 is probably the best example of that). And I laughed a lot while watching PN3, but perhaps one needs a rather free - and yet very juvenile - sense of humor to get the most out of it. If you ever snickered at the humor and one-liners of Freddy Krueger, Angela Baker, or even the Wishmaster, you'll probably like this incarnation of Mary Lou. In any case, this film is very representative of its time and genre, in good ways and bad, depending on your take.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) 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.
