Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2025 film Fear Street: Prom Queen.
Story
The story plays out like a mediocre R. L. Stine novel without the creative deaths or any form of tension. The twist was spoiled part way through and copied from Scream.
Score: 0
Characters
Most of the characters were cardboard cutouts of 80’s slasher movies or teen dramas. The main character was interesting and I did like the gender swap of the lovesick friend.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The dialogue was decent if a little over the top. Some really cringy moments. It also felt like the villains had very little originality, and it would have been nice if someone had pointed that out.
Score: 0.5
Visuals and Music
The cinematography, gore, and overall camera work were great. Not too much shaky-cam. Some of the deaths were a little predictable and lacked the Stine flare.
The music was good, especially the soundtrack.
Score: 0.5
Fun
Even though I’m not a huge fan of the movie, it was fun in its predictability. It’s nostalgic, has a few Easter eggs for the other movies, and is an okay slasher.
Score: 1
Overall
A fun slasher with lots of nostalgia, both for Fear Street and the 80s. It’s not original and falls flat, but it’s a good time.
Final Score: 2.5 Stars out of 5
