THE CLUB is a low rent Canadian horror film that didn't make much sense to me as a viewer. The story involves a bunch of students on prom might who become trapped in a large building and are pursued by villains with supernatural powers. The film has no back story and the emphasis is very much on the stylistics of the piece, with a lot of blue-filter night sequences and the usual dated '90s trappings.The characterisation is next to nil and it's one of those films where the main characters are reactive rather than proactive, never doing much to extricate themselves from their situation. The acting is pretty bland, aside from the reliably kooky Kim Coates - ever a mainstay of B-cinema - but there are some gory moments to take your mind off the inanity of it all.

I remember watching this film 10 years ago. It stuck in my memory as the most arduous task of my life. Along with 6 friends we watched a trio of movies rented for the evening.Not one ounce of pop corn or chips were eaten in this whole time as we all stared pointlessly at the film in its whole entirety.Some of us tried to sleep but they were slapped and whipped so they could not escape from the torture we all were to endure! Everything bad written about any movie should be applied here, I'm sure at some point it would be justified.Shame on you... shame

Despite what the ONLY other person who commented on this film said, I actually really enjoyed this movie. My best friend and I must have watched it about ten times! We would always rent a film on the weekend (or two), and if we couldn't find anything else to watch, we would rent this one. Okay, so the special effects were a little silly looking (it was made in 1994 and very low budget!), and the acting could have been better, but all in all, the story was pretty good, and it made you wonder...However, this has now possibly become one of the hardest movies to get your hands on (believe me, I've been trying!!), so my review may never help out anyone, because I can't imagine many people even know about this movie, unless they are a Kim Coates or Matthew Ferguson fan! Please, if you get your hands on this movie, sit down, turn the lights low, and enjoy it, it's okay to laugh a little at it, it's a B-movie after all! What's the fun in watching a B-movie if you can't laugh at it! I'm not going to give the story away, just in case any actually does see it, but the premise is, a group of friends/lovers are celebrating their prom in a spooky old mansion/castle, and then, it's like time stops, and every one disappears, except for this group of friends...and a mysterious teacher (councelor?) with mischief on his mind...and one other kid that no one seems to know. Basically the kids get 'enrolled' into the Club (ah-ha, remember the name of the movie?), and the movie follows the kids as they all are initiated in different, and sometimes gruesome ways. I especially liked Matthew Ferguson's (Darren's) initiation...Well, there you have it. A positive review and a negative one...You decide!

Group of teenagers fall victim to the devil on Prom Night. He freezes time at midnight and gives the teens the chance to either kill themselves, be killed, or he simply lets them act out crimes they would normally commit. Sometimes incoherent flick, is original and better done then you would expect. The special effects are rather well done and creative and the cast has appeal. Rated R; Nudity, Graphic Violence, Profanity, and Sexual Situations.
