FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/fear-street-prom-queen-review-a-blood-soaked-letdown/

"Fear Street: Prom Queen is a dispensable entry in a saga that deserves more attention and care.

Though it checks the technical boxes and delivers the bare minimum for nostalgic slasher fans, it completely fails at what made the original trilogy such a surprising success: deep characters, a cohesive story, and emotionally weighty themes.

With a generic script, forced connections, and a frustrating conclusion, Matt Palmer’s film ends up as more of a forgettable footnote than a worthy new chapter in the legacy of Sarah Fier."

'Fear Street: Prom Queen' is all too forgettable, in my eyes anyway. It felt derivatively unoriginal and fairly predictable, with unnatural dialogue not helping. I could ignore that if the kills were cool, but none of which really came across as all that meaningful.

The prom setting is an issue, it's one that feels so overdone in movies that any new release needs to do something extra unique to stand out - and I don't believe this one does anything close to that. It is at least short in run time and those onscreen don't produce anything all that bad.

India Fowler's Lori is admittedly the only character I found to be minimally interesting, though Fina Strazza does put in a decent performance too as Tiffany. She is overly cartooney, though the same can be said for Chris Klein and others to be honest.

Darrin Baker's character has a dumb catchphrase, though I admit I found it to be passably amusing. I will also give credit for the ending, I didn't love it but, to be fair, I didn't predict one part of the reveal - so kudos for that. It sadly isn't enough to save what proceeds, mind you.

The newest one, Prom Queen, dropped yesterday, and I actually really liked it. It was genuinely good. Now, let’s go back a bit. When I first watched the original Fear Street trilogy, I absolutely hated them. They got on my nerves, I was just so annoyed. I didn’t enjoy them at all.

But I gave them a second chance, and slowly, I started falling in love with the series. I began to see that they were actually great films. I rewatched the trilogy yesterday in preparation for Prom Queen, and oh my goodness, they're good. Like, really good.

I love slasher films, I truly do. And I especially love the way Fear Street plays with different decades, how all the films are linked, and how the story unfolds. I love the universe they’ve created with the youthful energy, it’s so clever, so stylish. I just loved it.
