For the most part, this one was pretty decent. Your basic sociopath is a high school senior who will do anything to win. It was more of a drama than suspense, but overall it's worth a watch. The acting is surprisingly good also.

In the beginning of the movie, they show "Amy Turner" acting strange and crazy. At first glance I'm thinking she's a psycho mom who was turned down for Prom Queen when she was a kid. No. It's a 30 year old playing a 17 year old. A bigger stretch than the actors who played in Grease. It's just weird that they cast someone way too old to play a HS kid. Not even a good actress. Looks as old as Miya's mom.

Amy Turner (Allie MacDonald) is a psycho and will stop at nothing to be prom queen. Julie Taylor (Zoe McLellan) takes over teaching math class after her friend Joanne's apparent suicide. Her daughter Miya Fowler (Nia Roam) joins her as a new student and is befriended by Amy. Amy is failing math which threatens her prom dreams.

I'm fine with the first half of the movie. It's setting up a good Lifetime movie and I like the actresses. Zoe McLellan is a solid performer. First, there is the bad production. It looks dreary and not in a good way. Maybe they could push it more in the horror direction. Then there are a couple of logic problems in the writing and the problems keep piling up. I don't understand why everybody would assume that it's a suicide without the body. Calling her missing would fix the problem. When she finds the 3's, she has to call the cops. The story gets dumber and dumber as it goes. A promising B-thriller goes down the drain and I really hate Julie confronting Amy at the prom.

Watchable but come on... unrealistic! BTW, do they really interrupt classes in the USA with stupid unimportant announcements? Can't they make such announcements during recess? And one more thing, while watching American movies it seems like kids go to high schools just to be able to attend the prom like it's a most important aspect of going to high school.

Is this for real

Awful acting

Terrible story

Poor acting

The daughter and mother look the same age

Instead of terrorizing other students this crazy mean queen of high school does it to teachers.

The wacko is played effectively by good actress Allie MacDonald. The teacher is no pushover and fights back.

Quite enjoyable.

It had the potential to be great, but its storyline is hanging on a thread.

It is as if the makers just had these pieces of great ideas, but didn't develop the connection between them.

It's HORRIBLY good!! THE kind of bad you love. I only caught end, but this is beyond Razzy.

Really good thriller. Fantastic acting. Highly recommend

There's nothing better than a mean girl high school movie and the prom Queen twist has been done to death.

That being said..Psycho Prom Queen is fresh enough in its script and strong performances that it makes your popcorn taste that much better. Even though we know the "bad guy" is gonna get their just deserts (not a spoiler), watching Allie McDonald's performance as Amy Turner makes the payoff all the more satisfying. Not since Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction have we watched before our eyes a delightfully deranged crackpot. A solid supporting cast makes this one a keeper from the Lifetime library!
