I have SOOOO many things to say about this prom queen
-first of all, Iโve been waiting yearrrssss, specifically 4 years for a new fear street.
-second, this is is absolutely horrible and will never top the OG trilogyโฆ
-third, they did anything but include references to symbolism of the goode family and the OG situation happening in the movies.
-please crew, yall shouldโve sticked to the old director๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ(make another fear street but like the ogs and make it like more based off of 1910s-1960s. Maybe wayyy more context and movies about the kllers like Billy barker or the milkman or the girl that sings, now that, that was all super fire. Please listen to your audience pleaseeee
Anyhow, I really despise this film because I was so anticipated for it as soon as I saw the official announcement that there was going to be fears street four and especially 80s themed, I was expecting the slasher of it all, you know couples, fashion, pop culture music, small town core, I was basically expecting Carrie/ Jamie Lee Curtisโ prom night but this is not it at all. This movie tried SO HARD to be the 80s but absolutely did NOT look like the era at all. Like for example the scenes where you see all the high schoolers in school ( before prom) theyโre clothing is literlaly what gen z wears right now. Like I swear I saw legit 21st century haircuts, sweatpants, and crop tops in the film. The only relevant fashion was prob Tiffanyโs mom, Melissa, and a couple more npcs. Idk they just tried to much the restโฆ Also like some outfits donโt rlly scream 80s like someone in the film crew
( no offense) procrastinated their work and decided that plaid was popular in the 80s. It was just not seen as much, like for example Christy, her outfit was fire but screamed more 90s also Meganโs suit looked like that one girl from the craft.
- my FAV characters were DEF Megan and Christy, they were rlly badass and rlly rocked that small town slasher film, with the whole cool stoner/ fashion sense, etc etc.
-bro and Lori, the main character, nahhh no way they picked that dress for her, like if ur going to build a sad story for her at least get her a cute dress.
-also, EVERYTHING was lowk cliche like its so netflix film coded i dont like. At least fear street trilogy had way more gore and cool plot twist, this was not it. The kllers were kinda expected .
-the only good references were the music and the posters.
