I need more info on Prom Queen! Curious if it will be another summer release.
Among the other projects debuting a new image were director Kyle Newacheck’s Happy Gilmore 2 starring Adam Sandler, which is set to launch sometime this year; Simon Stone’s The Woman in Cabin 10, with the adaptation of Ruth Ware’s novel featuring Keira Knightley, Guy Pearce and Hannah Waddingham and set for fall; and Matt Palmer’s Fear Street: Prom Queen, starring India Fowler and debuting this summer.
It's ironic considering there is a very obvious pairing.I didn't dislike the movie, but I feel it is unfortunate that it was put into the Fear Street franchise. Leigh Janiak was definitely missed. While they did up the gruesomeness of the deaths, it looked CG heavy opposed to practical, and honestly, just started to feel a bit lazy toward the end of the movie.
And the pacing is weird. It feels like 20 minutes were lopped off at the beginning. Only to stretch out the prom portion, which, yeah, some good kills, but it was extremely formulaic that was stretched out. And it made it really difficult to get into the characters and their stories.
I also feel like it wasted way, way too much time to set up pointless red herrings. Only for the initial reveal to be someone I had totally forgotten about. Also, that was Chris Klein, wtf? And the third reveal felt like it was a twist for twists sakes, given they showed 2 killers so early
I feel that the original trilogy was focused around a queer love story, that having Prom Queen be so goddamn straight felt like a big betrayal of the Fear Street name. Sure, 79 was pretty straight, but it was bookended by the main story.
Also, seeing Finna Strazza made me angry about Paper Girls again...
