The Plot: Shadyside High’s 1988 prom queen election becomes deadly for underdog Lori as candidates are targeted.
Prom Queen was a let down.
Pros: Lori & Megan were two friends I got behind thought-out the film. I enjoyed the metro 80s music playing in the background of the prom. I’m glad it still set in the same town as the previous films called shadyside & a little surprised twist to add into the fire.
Cons: There’s not anything new or interesting done to this film that standout from the others. The film failed to developed these new characters right. There’s not enough of blood being stich out. Very generic & more of the same slasher flicks.
