Alex is getting tired of his average girlfriend, average grades, and average life. He wants to be exceptional at something. Enter long dead Mary Lou Maloney (who died at the Senior Prom at Alex’s school three decades earlier) to spice up his life. She’s looking for a boyfriend, and she’ll kill whomever she has to (and some she doesn’t) to make sure it’s Alex.
If the movie’s tagline (“A Romantic Comedy From Hell”) makes you think you’re getting a 1990’s Shaun of the Dead, forget it. This is strictly cheese.
For one thing, if you’re going to make a direct sequel involving characters from previous parts, why not have a linear storyline that actually flows from those characters? The Mary Lou we met in Prom Night II was vindictave and evil this one just wants to get laid. Even satire needs to be grounded in its own reality, and this Mary Lou just isn’t herself. A better move would have been to create a fresh legend.
A couple of saving graces are some nasty gore effects and a couple of sex scenes that were fairly notorious for a mainstream film at the time. Unfortunately, some boneheads at Artisan decided to release an edited version that was originally broadcast on television.
