Netflix<\/a>‘s “brutal” Fear Street<\/a> sequel is now available to watch on the platform.<\/p>\n

Fear Street: Prom Queen<\/a> follows on from the 2021 trilogy of movies, all based on the RL Stine books, and centres on a prom night in 1988 as a bloody murderer is on the loose.<\/p>\n

The movie is now available to watch for Netflix users globally as of today \u2013 so if you’re looking for a chilling weekend watch, look no further.<\/p>\n

The film follows prom season at Shadyside High, with the school’s It Girls “busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown”.<\/p>\n

However, “when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court” and other girls mysteriously disappear, “the class of \u201988 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night,” the synopsis adds.<\/p>\n

Prom Queen has landed a largely mixed reception from critics, sitting at a 45% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, with TheWrap<\/a> writing: “Fear Street: Prom Queen isn\u2019t a bust, it\u2019s just not very inspired. Again, those brutal murders will help you get through it.”<\/p>\n

“Fear Street started as a series that tried to reinvent the wheel, even just by dint of its structure and nods to the innate curse of marginalization; this is empty-headed, straightforward slasher schlock on purpose,” added RoberEbert.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s all well and good in some contexts, but if that\u2019s what you want, why not just watch one of the classics instead?”<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast<\/a> called the movie “cartoonishly gory and drearily unoriginal and predictable”, adding: “It\u2019s a collection of tired devices and shout-outs that plays like training wheels slasher cinema.”<\/p>\n

Prom Queen stars The Nevers<\/a>‘ India Fowler, Red Rocket’s Suzanna Son, Paper Girls<\/a>‘ Fina Strazza, and The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/a>‘s David Iacono, with Matt Palmer directing.<\/p>\n
