Fear Street: Prom Queen

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.

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.

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.

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.

After watching this, I feel like I wasted an hour and a half of my life. The acting is atrocious and the dialogue sucks. Everything is so predictable and the plot goes nowhere, even the characters are meaningless. There are too many plot holes and the killings are obviously fake. The whole thing with the father makes no sense, especially how it ties to the ending. This is absolutely one of the worst "horror/ comedy" movies I have ever seen. The whole "prom queen" and "going places" is just left with no explanation or afterthought. Plus, why would the killer even murder out in the open - makes no sense. Would not recommend to anybody. 👎
