REVIEW SUMMARY
Fear Street: Prom Queen is a dispensable entry in a saga that deserves more attention and care. Though it checks the technical boxes and delivers the bare minimum for nostalgic slasher fans, it completely fails at what made the original trilogy such a surprising success: deep characters, a cohesive story, and emotionally weighty themes. With a generic script, forced connections, and a frustrating conclusion, Matt Palmer's film ends up as more of a forgettable footnote than a worthy new chapter in the legacy of Sarah Fier.
