Story Line;
Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school's wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of '88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.
Thoughts:
This one felt lazy. It was nowhere near the slasher films the others were.
It had a decent story line, but it wasn't basically if Mean Girls was a horror movie instead of a comedy
The gory parts were super cheesy in this one and the acting was just ok.
Not my favorite
CAUTION; Spoiler Alert
In 1988, the senior class of Shadyside High School prepares for their prom. Lori Granger signs up to run for prom queen against the popular girl group nicknamed the "Wolfpack", consisting of ruthless queen bee Tiffany Falconer and her friends Melissa Mckendrick, Debbie Winters, and Linda Harper. Lori is outcast by fellow students due to rumors of her mother murdering her father, though she was deemed innocent. Vice Principal Brekenridge intends for the prom to reinvent Shadyside in spite of the town's poor reputation. The night before prom, candidate Christy Renault, who is also a local small-time marijuana dealer, is stabbed and killed by a masked assailant.
The following day, Lori attends the prom with her best friend Megan Rogers. Later, Megan stages a prank using a moulded copy of Tiffany's head, creating a rift between her and Lori. Meanwhile, Linda and her boyfriend are mutilated and killed by the assailant in a nearby classroom. Lori receives flowers from an anonymous sender before Tiffany harasses her about her mother's past. Debbie and her boyfriend Judd head to the basement, where the assailant kills Judd and electrocutes Debbie in the power room.
After Melissa helps Lori fix her makeup, Tiffany ends their friendship and ruins Melissa's dress. Lori and Tiffany engage in a dance-off, during which Lori wins over the crowd and Tiffany is left embarrassed. Her boyfriend Tyler breaks up with her and approaches Lori, who harbors feelings for him. Meanwhile, Melissa is killed in the girls' changing room, revealing there are two masked assailants. Megan interrupts Lori, suspecting the disappearances of the prom candidates to be a serial killing carried out by Brekenridge's devoutly religious son, Devlin. Lori rejects Megan's theory and the two distance themselves.
Later, Megan investigates the basement where she finds the bodies of Debbie, Judd, and janitor Stoker. Lori and Tyler head to the auditorium where Tyler tries to initiate sex. However, the assailant plunges a knife into Tyler’s skull, killing him, and chases Lori. She finds Megan screaming in the basement, but they are locked inside. After a brief chase, they escape through a window and rush to the prom room to warn everyone.
Lori is announced as prom queen just as she tries to warn the school. The assailant arrives, killing students Claire and Gerald, and severing Principal Wayland’s arm, but he survives. Lori uses the tiara crown to stab the assailant, who is unmasked as Tiffany's father, Dan Falconer.
The police arrive and arrest Dan, while Megan is taken to the hospital. Lori returns home and stays with Tiffany, who apologizes for her behavior. Nancy, Tiffany's mother, returns and reveals herself as the second killer. As Lori and Tiffany hide, Tiffany tries to stab Lori, revealing that she was also involved. Nancy explains that she killed Lori's father after he broke up with her for Lori's mother. Lori pushes Tiffany through the stairwell, impaling her on a hallway decoration below. Nancy and Lori engage in a brief struggle before Lori bludgeons her with a trophy and flees the house. As Nancy dies, her blood forms the Witch's Mark.
