‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ Review: A Forgettable, Disappointing, And Unnecessary Return For The Franchise - The Hollywood Handle

It’s been nearly 4 years since Netflix delivered one of my favorite horror franchises of all time. Yes, I’m a massive fan of the original Fear Street trilogy not only because of its intriguing and tense plot but also because it’s great elements, amazing cast and crazy kills. I’m not a big fan of...

Fear Street: Prom Queen Review - IGN

Fear Street: Prom Queen fails to channel both the outrageous aesthetics and the brutal violence of the films it’s imitating, making this indifferently made exercise in YA horror supremely skippable.

As one who loves the trilogy, this was a massive disappointment.

 

[Still Wynning]

Bummer. Was actually looking forward to this.

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.

Spoiler

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...

It's ironic considering there is a very obvious pairing.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah it definitely felt kind of predictable and safe for the most part but I can't say that I didn't still find it somewhat entertaining as a slasher flick.

I was hoping for a bit more out of it in the end since 1666 ended the trilogy on such a strong note but I liked the main two characters and the kills were pretty fun and gory.

I could have done without some of the CGI enhanced stuff though and man I almost didn't recognize Chris Klein at first but him and Katherine Waterson being in this was definitely a nice surprise.

Also, Paper Girls may have had me looking at Finna Strazza's Tiffany in a certain light.

Reading the list of influences for this movie, never trust someone who has Sleepaway Camp on their list
