Short Film: Prom Car 91 (2024)

What Happens

It’s Prom Night, 1991, and Carrie thinks this is the night she and Donovan are “going to finally do it.” They’ve been dating for years, and it’s finally time. She asks her parents if they want to take a photo of her in her prom dress, but they don’t care. It’s gonna be a great night!

After the dance, the two plan to “do it” in Don’s dad’s minivan. Surprising both of them, the screaming soon starts…

Commentary

“Who are you talking to?”

The moral of the story seems to be, “Don’t mess with girls named Carrie on Prom Night,” which is ALWAYS good advice! 

The way Carrie narrates the whole thing and breaks the fourth wall is fun, it’s like we’re in on the action. Since she and Don are voyeurs, why can’t we be too? The note-writing was hilarious, but then the whole thing is, really. Sometimes watching and listening in isn’t as much fun as it sounds. The fight choreography is really quite good and lots of fun to watch.

This one is a winner!
