Fear Street: Prom Queen

Tbh, the film isn't that bad, but the lead is weak and the twists are not surprising. The killing were gruesome but some felt clunky. But again, I think the lead, Lori Granger, played well by India Fowler, was a weak scream queen. It's all the writing problem, she is literally so blagh and boring to the core - I can't believe no one thought to rewrite her bland narration.

I grew up with Neve Campbell in Scream, so any slasher lead girl will always be compared to her. Biased at it is, I felt the newer slasher films always fumbled upon writing a good lead girl. Especially here, Lori, has no depth nor sass - she is just too passive for my liking. Give me a Scream Queen who can kick ass, man. Also, the twist and turns were kind of predictable - a poor entry to the already solid Fear Street trilogy in my opinion.

Will start off by saying this movie tried to totally capture the 80's vibe,unfortunately that's where the rest fails.

Was it clichéd? Yes! From storyline,etc. But is anything original anymore,so you can almost overlook that issue.

No spoilers,regarding the killings: Was anyone shocked on who's responsible & why? It wasn't an oh my gosh thing,even with the ending twists unfortunately.

The cinematography although do get it was a whole nostalgic feel of that era,just came off instead as poor lighting & film quality.

Majority of actors chosen to their acting was ok,but nothing that you will remember once credits roll.

Music decisions was good,but again it was carrying that 80's theme.

The horror element during specific scenes came off cheap,almost what you'd expect by amateurs or film students.. Unless that was the point? Trying to be like 80's horror.

If they were going for that campy to B-Rated style,it wasn't accomplished even by those standards-Was like Hallmark,AMC or SyFy tried a collaborative project & failed.

Not something will rewatch again,but a popcorn flick to pass your time once.

I almost never leave reviews, but I had to leave one this time. This movie was not good. I loved the original fear Street movies (especially 1978) and I love campy slasher movies. So in light of this I was looking forward to this next fear street installment but I was left severely disappointed The story line lacked any depth, suspense, or even surprise. There was no build up no creepy someones watching me or unexplained sound in the dark of night and the whole thing was rushed 10 minutes into the movie their reference a plot device meant to explain main characters social status I think everyone in it did a great job with the script they were given but ultimately Netflix missed the mark by MILES !!!!

I've watched all the fear street trilogy and that had better kills and better characters and better villains... this was super rushed and the kills were so boring and the trailer gave away who the killer was so this was disappointing! Could have made it more darker and bloody and put more time in this movie and made it more like prom night (1980) this was not scary at all and nothing was interesting. My favorite character was Megan because she was an interesting character but everyone else was just trash. It was rushed and there should have been a plot twist because the trailer showed to much of the scenes and should have teased us more.

Set in the 80s, Fear Street: Prom Queen doesn't live up to its predecessors in the trilogy (even though it's barely related to the original Fear Street franchise, with a few goofs regarding the '78 camp massacre).

Lori Granger, an outsider at a school full of 'It' Girls, runs for the prom queen title and the bloodfest begins. Sadly, the movie didn't live up to many people's expectations, like the other Fear Street movies did. The acting wasn't quite promising and the script felt more like the plot is set in the modern era and not the 80s. It's very predictable, and if you're having your doubts about who the killer is during the beginning, you're probably right.

During the first few minutes of the movie, we are already introduced to nearly all the characters, making it easily forgettable. However, the killings were done perfectly and that's what saved the movie. If you're bored on a rainy weekend or just looking for some casual movies to watch with your friends, Fear Street: Prom Queen might just be the right choice.
