Product Description

With Prom Night IV: Deliver Us From Evil, producer Peter Simpson seems to be trying to get back to the roots of the series. This movie bears no real relationship to the first, but it's straight-faced and though there is a supernatural element, it's underplayed, making this just an old-fashioned slasher flick. The story has a homicidal priest (James Carver) who may or may not have supernatural abilities (he suffers from stigmata) being secretly imprisoned by the church for 30 years in a chemically induced coma. When he finally escapes, he's back to his old ways of killing wayward, promiscuous teens. His targets are four teens who have skipped the school prom (the only concession to the title) to spend a weekend together at an isolated mansion. Among the young Canadian actors who would go on to better things are Nikki de Boer, Joy Tanner and Joel Wyner (here billed as Alden Kane) who, along with Alle Ghadban, comprise the quartet of victims-in-waiting. One can almost read a political subtext into the film, with its story of a Catholic church cover-up at a time when real life scandals were rocking Canadian churches. But ultimately writer Richard Beattie and director Clay Borris may have done too good a job of returning to the source.: like the first Prom Night, this is an extremely slow-moving film that is poorly lit in spots. It manages to muster some thrills in the climax but overall it's slow-moving and unevenly acted. --D.K. Latta

Prom Night IV Delivers,

This review is from: Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from (VHS Tape)
I loved this one! It's low budget, but the acting is decent, the story line is good and it's a different spin on the series. The best part was the crucification scene -- Creepy!

Well..,

This review is from: Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from (VHS Tape)
For a slasher film, it's pretty good and the best of the Prom Night films (2 and 3 were silly and ridiculous imo). I'm not too crazy about horror movies (though I've seen way too many..don't ask!) and I'm probably the only one who thinks the actor who played Father Jonus is hot..oohh!Check it out on the Scream channel (from time to time) if you live in Canada.

You have to be kidding...,

This must be the lowest-budget, ill-cast, sorriest excuse of a horror movie ever made. Hands down, that's it.
