Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider puts herself in the running, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.

Critics Consensus

Tired and uninspired, Fear Street plays like an '80s retread of better slashers, while ensuring the winning crown does not go to this Prom Queen.

This deeply disappointing new Fear Street instalment leans too hard into worn-out tropes and excessive gore, at the expense of fun, engaging characters or any genuine scares.

2.5/4

While the identity of the villain knocking off the prom queen candidates is obvious, the sheer uninhibited Road Runner meets Wile E. Coyote excitement of the climax remains delightfully infectious.

There’s a lot of limb-severing and such. But “Fear Street: Prom Queen” never rises above its pedestrian concept, which simply lifts cliches from standard slice-and-dice opuses...without ever figuring just how seriously it wants to take them.

The audio description track here is one of my favorites of the year. Liz Gutman’s writing is flawless, and the description captures every gory detail. While the movie is mixed for me, the description might be the reason I’m leaning positive.

'Fear Street: Prom Queen' is a disappointing entry in this franchise as well as a symptom of this era of streaming slop. Horror fans deserve better than films like this.

The sad truth is that nothing about this film works. Not the performances, not the comedy, not the storyline, nothing.

Fear Street: Prom Queen is an entertaining and watchable teen slasher, but it is clearly not as interesting as the 1994/1978/1666 trilogy. That earlier story had the curse, the witchcraft, Shadyside’s past and a stronger sense of mythology; this film is not a direct sequel to that arc, and it feels much smaller because of it. As a standalone prom-night slasher, it has some fun: an 80s setting, a group of candidates, suspicion, blood and a few enjoyable kills. It is easy to watch and never truly painful, especially if you like the genre. Still, the characters are weaker, the story is more predictable and Shadyside does not feel as dangerous or fascinating as before. It works as light horror entertainment, but it falls short of the trilogy’s energy and purpose.

Interesting enough this turned out to be the best in the series. The originals were too focused on checkboxes instead of good acting and on scene chemistry. This one focused more on the event and the kills on a fun way without being forced to endure a director forcing their personal lives into the film.

Granted, the Fear Street franchise is a bit corny, and the silliness is there for all to make them essentially stupid. Yet, the other movies were still fun watches for the unwitting humor it provided; this one had none of that.
