The score from Rotten Tomatoes has been unveiled for the movie “Fear Street: Prom Queen”. This horror film marks Netflix’s continued exploration of the “Fear Street” series, which kicked off in 2021 with “Fear Street Part One: 1994”. In this installment, director Matt Palmer steps up after Leigh Janiak directed the previous three projects. The plot revolves around a high school where the candidates for prom queen mysteriously vanish. The ensemble cast for “Fear Street: Prom Queen” includes India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, Katherine Waterston, and Chris Klein.
Currently unveiled: Rotten Tomatoes rating for “Fear Street: Prom Queen”. At this moment, it boasts a 48% Tomatometer based on 23 critic reviews. The Popcornmeter is still absent as the film premiered on Netflix today (May 23). This score may undergo some adjustments since the movie has just been released.
What This Means For The Fear Street Franchise
Prom Queen Has The Worst Reviews By Far
One of the less enthusiastic reviews for the movie was penned by Ferdosa Abdi from ScreenRant, who gave it a score of 6 out of 10. In her review, she acknowledged that the film was enjoyable, but felt it didn’t quite live up to the standards set by its predecessors in 1978 and 1994. Critics such as Chris Evangelista from Slashfilm were far harsher, stating that not only is this movie terrible, but it also looks terrible. Many found the plot weak and occasionally dull, and several criticized the characters as well. As more people see the film, it will be intriguing to observe the general public’s response.
| Rotten Tomatoes Scores For Fear Street Movies | ||
|---|---|---|
| Title (Year) | RT Tomatometer | RT Popcornmeter |
| Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) | 84% | 63% |
| Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021) | 88% | 81% |

The film “Fear Street: Prom Queen” has sadly broken a record in the Fear Street horror series as the lowest-rated movie. Moreover, it is the initial Fear Street production to receive a rotten rating on a popular aggregator site for critics’ reviews. In contrast, all the other three films had a Tomatometer score of over 80%, earning them the title “Certified Fresh.” Given that audiences have typically shared the same sentiments as the critics in this franchise, it seems improbable that the audience rating (Popcornmeter) for “Prom Queen” will significantly surpass its Tomatometer.
Our Take On The Fear Street: Prom Queen Rotten Tomatoes Score
This Is Bad For The Franchise
The subpar reception of ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ might tarnish the franchise’s image. Earlier this year, R.L. Stine, author of the Fear Street book series, mentioned that there are three Fear Street movies in production. If ‘Prom Queen’ is among these three, it indicates at least two more horror films for the franchise are on the horizon. The unfavorable reviews of ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ could leave a sour taste in viewers’ mouths, potentially making it harder for subsequent movies to rebuild the series’ credibility.
