Fear Street: Prom Queen

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

'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. Go to Full Review

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

Bret M. @BretM-3 2d This movie is getting way too much hate, despite how good it is. It's not perfect, but it is very good. Firstly, the kills are gruesome. Very gory and bloody but not disgustingly violent. The acting is very good and the performances convey how desirable the title of "Prom Queen" is to them. It's rare I point out a soundtrack in a movie, but the soundtrack was really good in this one. Plenty of good 80s tunes blasting through the house as you watch this movie. This movie also tries its best to feel like a movie set in 1988. I think it definitely succeeded in that department. In typical R. L. Stine fashion, the twist was very good. The whole movie I was trying to guess who the murderer was and never figured it out. Overall, this movie is a great tribute to classic 80s slasher movies and is definitely not deserving of all the hate it is receiving. See more alliyah B @alliyah Mar 2 ruined a perfect trilogy. i loved the acting from some of the characters but that's it. hate the story and hate the movie. shoul've stayed as a trilogy. See more Toby C @Waddles456 Feb 13 Decent Movie. Could have been better. See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 Jan 31 A follow up to the surprisingly fun Fear Street trilogy and it’s a major disappointment. While there are some cool kills and the soundtrack is awesome; the generic script (that retreads better slasher films) boring cast and an killer reveal that is so obvious that it isn’t surprising See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 Jan 17 Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) Honestly, this movie shouldn't exist at all. It's a piece of bad taste; the perfect trilogy that was released in 2021 didn't need another low-quality film with the same name. See more Jason V @michaelmyersismyfav Jan 15 this movie does NOT deserve the hate it gets. my review is slightly biased because im a teenage girl, but this movie is GREAT. i hate that people complain about the writing cause its FUNNY. ITS FUNNY WRITING. IT FEELS LIKE A HIGHSCHOOL MOVIE. BECAUSE IT IS !!! its a high school movie TURNED INTO A SLASHER MOVIE !!! once again i think i just have a bias. i didnt expect the plot twist, but maybe im just stupid. See more Read all reviews
