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.

1/5

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.

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.

Very underwhelming, I expected for it to somewhat relate to the fear street trilogy.

Probably the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire existence. So disappointing. So unnecessary. So ridiculous. Waste of time. Even one star is too much for it.

This movie was great. I honestly have no idea how anyone thought this movie was bad. This is a perfect love letter to old slasher films in all of its cheesy glory. From the intentionally old cameras for the 80s feel the outfits and music. Its all from that time period it even has this classic dark synthwave music for the intense parts. I throughly enjoyed this movie way more than the original fear streets since those were like a glorified goosebumps story with monsters coming to life in a scooby doo sense. This movie while predictable would have had so much higher ratings if 1. It wasnt tied to the original fear street brand. 2. If it had encapsulated the genre comedy as that one guy says wowzers as his arm was getting cut off it made me laugh 3. If it released in the 80s when cliches were more norm and not considered overdone. Even if they were overdone cliches its more the execution of the story and the execution here is spectacular. Or 4. Seen as a loveletter to this time period of movies. It even continues past the point where you expect it to be over in true classic horror fashion.

Too many people are mad about this film. Is it great? No. Is it acceptable? Absolutely. The story isn't tied to the previous trilogy, but to be fair, it never purported to be. The formula is familiar, so don't expect a lot of surprises, but the reveal certainly isn't the worst I've seen in slasher films.
