There's a terrible story-feature that is creeping into more and more movies recently, where it will begin with a scene or dialogue from the end of the film and then flash back to the start. 'Fear Street: Prom Queen' has it and it is absolutely terrible and unnecessary. It completely ruins the final act when it actually comes around. I understand 'The White Lotus' is huge at the moment, but this is not the part of that show that others should be copying.

That gripe aside, this was a reasonably fun ride. I didn't enjoy the first 'Fear Street' trilogy much. Too supernatural and silly for my liking. This one, while quite over the top at times, was at least a realistic story. And who doesn't love a whodunit?

The movie is set in the 80s and has just about every song you would associate with that decade in it. It's a very good sounding film it has to be said.

For what it was I thought this was about as good as it could be. Switch your brain off for 90 minutes and enjoy the ride. 7/10.

Netflix has not had an original horror in some time and im glad they came back relitivly strong with this fourth in the fear street series. Set in shadyside highschool in 1988 it follows a group of young woman that are all up for being nominated as prom queen but as they go missing main girl lori or should I say best friend reagan relizes something is a miss. Sure it could be predicatble but its a fun film and we have been needing a good slasher. The killer I think is unique enough for this film and something I have not personally seen . Acting was good and the screen queens were good. Overall a safe horror film but an enjoyable one.

Fear Street: Prom Queen delivers a classic 80s American slasher experience, filled with the right mix of suspense and nostalgia. While some moments feel predictable, the dual plot twist caught me off guard, keeping the tension alive throughout. The jump scares hit the mark without feeling cheap, and the soundtrack beautifully captures the decade's spirit. Though the cinematography is basic, the strong direction and convincing performances bring genuine fear and emotion. The film doesn't emotionally overwhelm but keeps the excitement high as you anticipate who's next. It's not perfect, but it fits seamlessly into the Fear Street universe and stands well on its own. A solid pick for slasher fans craving something both familiar and fresh.

I really liked the whole vibe it went well. The whole aesthetic was very on par with the 80s and everything. Thought it felt very rushed. The movie wasn't too long so there couldn't have been more time leading up to the prom night since it was such a quick opening. Also many of the characters were forgettable and most characters weren't likable really, so it felt like many people died just to make the kill count higher. Also the ending while it was good it sort of fell flat and it didn't have the wow factor most of the other movies have. It is a good quick watch but it fell flat in a lot parts. Though it still was a good movie and you could tell it was very influenced by the Fear Street books which are for teens and kids.

Though the gore was excellent so clearly the budget went somewhere, though some of the deaths were a little unrealistic. But it was good overall and I might watch again since it has a campy feel to it.

Okay, so I saw a lot of people dragging this movie just because it "doesn't have the curse" and whatever-but HELLO? This is based on one of the books, and that book is literally a slasher. So no, it's not really supposed to connect deeply with the other films. Yes, it takes place in 1988, and yes, there is some connection to the 1978 one (like when Megan Rogers is drawing on the bathroom wall-did y'all catch that?).

Now, I'm not gonna lie, this movie was kind of boring in parts, and it definitely gave secondhand embarrassment. That dance scene?? I had to pause. CRINGE LEVEL 1000.

Some characters did not deserve to die. Like the Mean Girls' boyfriends? Justice for them. And I swear I was suspicious of Tiffany the entire time-I thought she was telling the guys to lure the candidates to private spots and kill them. But no. Turns out the boys were just dumb as hell.

The death that broke me?? Melissa. My new comfort character. She was sweet. She helped Lori. She did NOTHING wrong. And she still got slashed?? Nope. I'm mad.

And don't even get me started on Christy. Ariana Greenblatt?? A goddess. And they killed her first. FIRST?? Like, hello?? That's a sin. She should've made it to the end-final girl energy all over her.

Also?? Why is this the shortest Fear Street movie?? It felt like it ended as soon as it started. That said, it was well-paced, I guess. But STILL. WHERE ARE MY LESBIANS??? I felt the leather-scented gay aura around Megan, but that's not enough. I needed it confirmed.

The killer's motivation?? So boring I wanted myself to get axed. Like, please. The twist wasn't twisting. And I do not think Tiffany's mom was the killer. I think someone else was pulling the strings-especially after that post-credits scene. That curse?? Still alive, baby.

And let's talk about Megan again because I don't trust her. I loved her-but I don't trust her. When she was drawing in that room? She made the exact same symbol that shows up in the post-credits. And the mask she uses in that prank? SAME as the killer's. Suspicious, right???

At the end of the day, this isn't a bad movie. It's just not part of the trilogy. No "Part 4." It's a Fear Street side story-Fear Street: Prom Queen, and if you watch it like that, it's actually kinda fun.

The vibe was perfect - like watching a classic teen drama-comedy, almost like Mean Girls but with a murder twist. It had that early 2000s energy, full of drama and teenage chaos, which made it super fun to watch.

Some of the deaths were actually pretty cool, but most of them got cut off too quickly - like, you'd blink and it was over, and you never really saw what happened. Still, it wasn't a huge deal. It kept things moving.

Now, the worst part? It was super predictable but in a way that somehow still had charm and made it fun. You kind of knew what was coming, but you didn't mind because it embraced the whole B-movie teen slasher thing fully.

It's a total B-movie, but for what it is, it was really entertaining. Definitely not groundbreaking, but it knew what it wanted to be and delivered it with style and energy. That's why it's a solid 7/10. Not something deep or unforgettable, but pure fun to watch.

Did the pace feel a little rushed? Yes. But so were Fear Street books. Did the film feel a little derivative of classic slasher films like Prom Night? Yes. But all of those films in that time period were derivative of each other.

If not taken too seriously, this feels like an RL Stine teen fiction brought to life. Character tropes that RL Stine uses repeatedly in his writing, and a fast paced narrative. It's not a timeless classic, but it's far from terrible. It was a serviceable homage to the source material.

If you grew up reading Fear Street, and watching 80's slasher films, you'll probably find some enjoyment here. I did.

Netflix's returns to the chilling streets of Shadyside, with Fear Street: Prom Queen, delivering a fourth installment in the anthology that pays homage to the golden age of 1980s slasher films.

Set in a fictionalized version of 1988 Shadyside, the film sidesteps the tired trope of forcing retro vibes through neon-drenched diner signs and out-of-place mixtapes. Instead, it smartly channels the spirit of the '80s through its tone: the moral panic, the social pressure of teen popularity, the influence of horror culture, and the looming dread that something sinister might be hiding behind a corsage and a smile.

As the prom season heats up, Shadyside High is rocked by a string of brutal murders targeting the girls on the prom queen ballot. What starts as a popularity contest quickly spirals into a blood-soaked mystery. Our core group of teens, a mix of archetypes and oddballs, are drawn into a classic whodunnit slasher that actually keeps you guessing. Is it a jealous classmate? A ghost from the past? Or something else entirely?

Fear Street: Prom Queen is a sharp, stylish, and self-assured slasher flick that proves the anthology still has blood left in its veins. It honors the '80s not by mimicking its aesthetics, but by understanding its mood-that sense of fun and fear that made the decade's horror so enduring. With fun kills, a solid mystery, and characters worth rooting for, this is one school dance you won't want to miss.

Fear Street: Prom Queen: A stand alone episode in this franchise. 1988, Shadyside High School prepares for their prom. One of the candidates for Prom Queen is Lori Granger (India Fowler), her mother was suspected of murdering her father, was cleared but people gossip especially the mean girls in the Wolf Pack, led by Tiffany Falconer (, who is also a candidate for Prom Queen. Much bullying ensues. The vice-Principal is intent on making the prom a success, to heal Shadyside's bad reputation. The killings begin even before the prom when another candidate Christy Renault is killed by a masked assailant wearing a red Sou'wester. At the prom itself mayhem ensues as the body count mounts. A good slasher film with many gruesome scenes of decapitation, dismembering and stabbing. A fine line of dark humour runs through the narrative. Don't expect it to make sense, just enjoy it. Directed by Matt Palmer, Screenplay by Palmer and Donald McLeary. On Netflix. 7/10.

I think if this had been a stand alone film with no ties to the original Fear Street Trilogy, I could be a little more forgiving, but this movie was just okay.

The cinematography, lighting and set design were solid. They had a cast of folks that believably looked teenager-ish, and the musical score worked decently well.

The script was bland and the kills were predictable, every single one, sadly.

The cast was decent but overall mediocre with moments of heartfelt acting and the costume and hair design mostly fell flat, especially as a period piece. I was alive in 1988, and my eldest stepsister was in high school then. Her prom dress was a huge fluffy affair that needed a hoop skirt beneath it and had a ton of frills on it, and her hair was HUGE. I think half our household budget went to Aquanet and a third went to drug store cosmetics for big bold eyeshadow and lipstick. None of that was reflected in this movie.

If you hadn't told me it was set in the 80s, I'd have guessed mid 90s or even early 2000s just based on outfits and make up (though I did see at least one pair of denim stone washed high waist jeans, so good job on that at least).

This felt like an ambitious made for tv sequel of a big budget horror movie. It wasn't awful, like some folks said, but I wouldn't pay to watch it on its own.

If they do another one, I really hope they spend more time on the script, because it really let down an otherwise enjoyable movie.

People saying it's not a Fear Street movie at all when they only know the movie trilogy and haven't read a single book...

THIS is exactly what Fear Street is, a part of what it is at least. Who has read the books or knows anything about the universe knows that there are deep and serious stories and then there are the absurd, gore for the sake of it and stupid teenage drama.

This movie is that kind of story and it doesn't necessarily go together with the trilogy, stop taking it so seriously and pretending to be a connoisseur of the Stine universe by watching 3 movies because the problem with all of this is that you had the wrong idea about this universe. Just enjoy this story as an stand-alone, silly movie.

The bad star reviews seem to be from people who are comparing this to the first trilogy. But this movie is not based off of those. This is based on the RL Stine book by the same name. I grew up reading those books and loved them. However, this movie does not even come close to capturing the spirit of the books or even the 1980s. There is so much 2000s slang, details (Bobby pin hair clips, 90s eyeliner), use of the f-bomb that was definitely not used in the 80s or even 90s that frequently and this all took me out of the time period. The movie style seems to be inspired by the Scream movies and reminded me a lot of those. Who keeps a prom going after a student gets grotesquely murdered in the first 15 minutes? There is apparently a backstory to the main character but we never are told or shown what that was. I give it a decent score because it is actually entertaining and because it is Fear Street and I gotta support R. L. But I wish they kept the spirit of the books in the way that the trilogy tried to do. The campy stuff was too weird.

Was this a touching and meaningful film with developed characters, no it was not but it didn't need to me. I loved the 80s node but the hair could have been better who cares? There were jump scares, extremely creative murder scenes and an ending that made me wish I had paid closer attention throughout. I didn't love the fact that the killer started murdering folks out in the open at the end; made no sense, but this was very entertaining and I'm ready for the next! As my friend pointed out, I loved the coded lesbian character and it's always fun to weave in a high school backdrop in a slasher film! Just press play and chill.

Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) is a film I recently watched on Netflix. The story returns to Shadyside High School, where its dark and tragic past once again takes center stage. As prom approaches, tensions rise in the battle for prom queen. On one side, the popular "Wolfpack" girls; on the other, a quiet student with a haunting personal tragedy that still echoes through the school's halls. When prom night arrives, chaos erupts in an explosive night of bloodshed and horror.

Directed by Matt Palmer (Calibre), the film stars India Fowler (The Strangers: Chapter 1), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket), Fina Strazza (A Little Game), and Lili Taylor (The Conjuring).

While far from perfect, this is a fun and visually slick horror flick. It has a polished, Stranger Things-like vibe across the board-from the soundtrack and cinematography to the characters and tone. The world-building is strong, and the horror effects are top-tier. The kill scenes are standout moments: gory, great blood splatter, and consistently creative. One decapitation scene is particularly well-executed, and the final kill genuinely caught me off guard.

The acting and storyline are just okay-fairly predictable and straightforward-but the film more than makes up for that with its energy and memorable kills.

In conclusion, Fear Street: Prom Queen is a worthwhile addition to the franchise, packed with slick visuals, strong atmosphere, and some of the best kills in the series. I'd give it a solid 7/10 and strongly recommend checking it out.
