La calle del terror: La reina del baile

The researchers, costume designers and stylists should be ashamed of their interpretation of 1988. Missed the mark badly on the hair styles, makeup and women's clothing. The dialogue is not from that era either. A little more attention to detail was needed. The original trilogy did much better.

That said, it's pretty good for a Netflix movie. The kills are gruesome and acting is solid by all the cast (just a little modern). Storyline is somewhat predictable but it plays out just like an 80s horror film, so that's ok.

Soundtrack has some great bangers, mostly from the early 80s rather than 1988 but they add a good nostalgic vibe.

Anyone who's old and wise enough to be drawn in by the 1980s nostalgia will be disappointed by the flat, insipid story. Teenagers will probably be put off by the cardboard characters, the cartoonish depictions of high school social pressures and the lame antagonist reveal. The movie's too violent and profane for young kids. So who is it for? Apparently nobody.

The bummer is that it could've been a fun, campy throwback. But that would've required a stronger story, sharper dialogue, better-realized characters and generally more effort than what was evidently put into the production. A synthesizer soundtrack and neon credits alone do not make for a worthwhile '80s slasher homage.

Honestly, I really liked the previous Fear Street movies. This one however is truly dreadful in every conceivable way. The characters are just so dull, from the mean girl prom queen, who let's be honest would struggle to be described as a plain Jane. To the supposed heroine of the story, who is completely nondescript.

The dialogue is wooden, the kills are boring, there is no genuine fear or tension throughout the whole movie. The soundtrack tries to capture the essence of 80s slasher movies but actually ends up being irritating.

The killers outfit is dreadful, it doesn't induce fear just makes them look like an idiot. I'm not even sure why I'm giving this movie a 4.

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.

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.
