I'm on holiday in Borkum for the next two weeks. Naturally I'll be spending
most of my time outdoors, on the beach or taking lengthy walks, but I intend
to watch a film on Netflix each night before bed. Or at times like now, when
there's heavy rain.
My first choice was "Fear Street: Prom Queen". A lot of people say they don't
like horror films, and this is probably the sort of film they'd consider
typical for horror films. A serial killer is killing all the candidates who
want to become the high school prom queen. There's lots of gore, lots of
blood, lots of jump scares. For me the film isn't bad in itself, but it has no
depth. The only thing that excited me was a short dance scene in which four of
the candidates dance in sexy Stars-And-Stripes bathing suits. Soon after that
they were all killed. A problem is that the body count is so high that the
film has little time for character development.
There are much better teen slasher films available.
Nevertheless, after reading that there are four films in the Fear Street
series, I'm interested in seeing the others. The first three films were rated
highly by critics, but the fourth ("Prom Queen") was given a low rating. So
the other films must be better? I hope so.
