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.

Becky Darke

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 1/5

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

Despite some committed performances, the lazy Fear Street: Prom Queen can't help but fall under the shadow of the original trilogy.

We Live Entertainment

The mystery remains stagnant when it comes to the curiosity surrounding who could be responsible, and the movie’s look does it no favors either. For a slasher flick, this one wasn’t close to winning the crown.

Rated: 3/10

The result is an entertainingly lean and mean slasher that, while somewhat forgettable, is an engaging evocation of a bygone era.

This fourth film in the franchise (adapting the 15th book) is a disappointment. After a solid first half, time starts to drag — and drag a lot. What could’ve been wrapped up in 45 minutes is painfully stretched to a never-ending 90. And all of it for a final reveal that’s deeply underwhelming.

This horror movie was alright. India Fowler, Chris Klein, Katherine Waterston, Fina Strazza, Suzanna Son, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. The plot of the movie was bizarre and crazy. It's about a twisted plot of killing prom queen candidates. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth it.

None of the characters felt authentic enough to be believable. It's so disappointing compared to the original trilogy, but even on its own, there's just nothing interesting about it. The acting was decent by the main character and her best friend. That's all. It felt like they didn't even have fun with the 80s concept or really stay true to it? Just badly written and constructed and a waste of a couple really promising young talents.

It didn’t make much sence. The last ones I explain it a lot more this one was just a gory slasher film no back story

Just a by the number slasher film with no real attempt to do anything different. Okay if that’s what you’re looking for.
