Fear Street: Prom Queen revives the franchise, set in the '80s and focusing on Lori, an outcast trying to win prom amid a series of murders. While the film starts strong with a unique setting and some engaging scenes, it ultimately falls into predictability, replicating traditional slasher tropes. The adaptation claims to be based on R.L. Stine's book but strays vastly from the original story. Though it features moments of tension and quick-paced action, the lack of creativity in plot twists and character decisions leaves viewers craving more than the safe choices made throughout the film.
The new installment of Fear Street makes a huge swing but plays everything else disappointingly safe, failing to deliver creative surprises in the murders.
Fear Street: Prom Queen mostly happens within a couple of hours on prom night, where the action runs in almost real time, making the murders fun.
Set in the '80s, Fear Street: Prom Queen follows an outcast determined to win prom, despite being surrounded by mysterious disappearances.
While marketed as an adaptation of R.L. Stine's The Prom Queen, the film bears little resemblance to the source material, with significant differences in characters and plot.
