Anime in 2025: Too Much of a Good Thing?

6 Movie Reviews in 100 Words
Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025), Director: Matt Palmer Fear Street: Prom Queen is one of the most generic, slow, and unrealistic slasher films. This felt more like a Goosebumps anthology than a new addition to the Fear Street franchise. The characters are uninteresting, led by dialogue that sounds nothing like how teenagers talk. Matt Palmer has no buildup in the tension or dynamics. You’re telling me that prom night doesn’t come to an immediate halt when a student’s disembodied head is found in the punch bowl? Other than some of the kills, Fear Street: Prom Queen is uninteresting. It doesn’t do anything different from the usual slasher films.
