"Prom Queen” blitzes through familiar pop-comic vignettes, only pausing to make its loathsome characters’ adolescent nightmares just a little bit freakier.

2021 was an excellent year for slasher fans, and the Fear Street trilogy was one of the big reasons why. Four years later, Fear Street: Prom Queen, which exists in the same town and timeline but functions as a standalone, continues the fun.

Five stars because wow, I have been a fan of this book series my entire life, and I've been eagerly anticipating this movie series for just as **** trilogy was excellent, but I think Matt has connected the story to the newly released with perfect execution, and I sincerely hope they continue producing more books for Netflix and R.L's influence stays because they're delivering exactly what I've always wanted to see!

Problem is, this doesn’t reinvent the formula as much as follows it by rote, which makes it an enormous step down.

Fear Street: Prom Queen fails to channel both the outrageous aesthetics and the brutal violence of the films it’s imitating, making this indifferently made exercise in YA horror supremely skippable.

After the original "Fear Street" trilogy, I was itching to return to Shadyside. It was not worth the wait.

Like its predecessors, the film is an often awkward mix of YA drama and R-rated gore.

Fear Street: Prom Queen doesn’t merely fall flat dramatically, but dashes any opportunity for visual intrigue in terms of cinematography, costume design, and, most vitally, its on-screen carnage.

Fear street : prom queen was good. I love the 80s feel of the movie , it was very nostalgic. The movie had a good twist. The gore and violence was good. I would recommend this watch.

Fear Street: Prom Queen delivers slick ’80s slasher vibes with solid scares, killer twists, and retro charm—familiar yet fresh fun for horror fans.

What a complete disappointment, this carries over none of the quality or lore from the original trilogy. This is just a completely bland slasher in a generic setting that has been beaten to death in the genre.

This movie was so bad, the plot was ridiculous and everything else was horrible, only one scene when the massacre happens in the main hall was decent but nothing else.

Even if you skip ahead to the so-called "good" parts, you don’t actually get to see anything good. It’s an endlessly long teen drama with a few boring murders thrown in, and by the time the plot wraps up, you just roll your eyes and wonder if there are really people who read this script and thought, "Hey, this is good. We should turn this into a movie." It feels more like they *had* to make the film, no matter how bad the script was.What’s truly annoying throughout is the music. Yes, we get it, the film is set in the '80s. But even in the actual '80s, most movies had decent soundtracks, not this awful synthpop/electropop mess.
