"Prom Queen” blitzes through familiar pop-comic vignettes, only pausing to make its loathsome characters’ adolescent nightmares just a little bit freakier. Read full review

It's not breaking any new ground, but Prom Queen is a solid enough teen slasher that does a nice job of continuing the ever-expanding universe of R.L. Stine. Read full review

2021 was an excellent year for slasher fans, and the Fear Street trilogy was one of the big reasons why. Four years later, Fear Street: Prom Queen, which exists in the same town and timeline but functions as a standalone, continues the fun. Read full review

After the original "Fear Street" trilogy, I was itching to return to Shadyside. It was not worth the wait. Read full review

Fear Street: Prom Queen fails to channel both the outrageous aesthetics and the brutal violence of the films it’s imitating, making this indifferently made exercise in YA horror supremely skippable. Read full review

Reprising high-school slasher cliches dating back at least to 1980’s “Prom Night,” minus any particular invention or irony, this new entry is a slick-enough but disappointingly unimaginative effort that can’t even be bothered to reference the mythology established in the prior films.

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. Read full review
