Fun 80s prom slasher isn't Fear Street's crowning achievement
Fear Street: Prom Queen (Netflix, R, 90 minutes) 3 stars When we were all trapped in our houses during the pandemic and cinemas were strictly off-limits, Netflix dropped three horror movies in three weeks. The Fear Street trilogy was pure slasher joy, with some Stranger Things stars getting a chance to shine in a new genre, and several different time periods to revel in. The films had all the hallmarks of a slasher from the 70s or 80s and featured plenty of gnarly kills, plus some lore for the small town in which they were set, Shadyside. Four years later, we've been gifted another instalment in the franchise - Fear Street: Prom Queen. The series has previously taken us to 1994, 1978 and 1666, but this time we check into Shadyside in 1988. Prom night at Shadyside High is approaching and there are six girls vying for the coveted title of Prom Queen. But the film - written and directed by Matt Palmer, who was not previously involved in Fear Street - only really bothers to flesh out two of these contenders: protagonist Lori Granger (India Fowler) and antagonist Tiffany Falconer (Fina Strazza). Lori is a quiet and kind girl who is best friends with one of the class rebels, Megan (Suzanna Son). She doesn't have the vote of the popular kids or the stoners, but might pick up some of the other folks not tied to a clique. Holding her back, though, is her family history. It's long been rumoured that her mother, now a cop, murdered her father when they were both in their senior year of high school. Tiffany, meanwhile, is the typical popular girl, with a gaggle of followers trailing her like baby geese. These girls are also running for Prom Queen, but practically bow down in deference to their leader. Tiffany is wealthy and the daughter of a teacher (played by Chris Klein). She also lives right across the road from Lori. Our final potential Prom Queen is Christy (Ariana Greenblatt, Barbie), the counter culture girly with a pot dealing side hustle. She seems like the most interesting of all the contenders (a sure sign that she's not long for the world). This being a slasher, it doesn't take long for people to start dropping. And by people, we mean, of course, Prom Queen contenders. A masked figure in a red hooded rain jacket (reminiscent of that other killer fond of offing teens in I Know What You Did Last Summer) is stalking the young women, crossing out their yearbook pictures one by one as they're murdered. The film takes a little while to really warm up. The first few kills are enacted with relatively little tension. Instead of taking the time to draw the moments out and have the wannabe queens run around screaming and fighting for their lives, the first couple of kills happen in seconds. For a good 30 or 40 minutes it seems like Fear Street: Prom Queen is going to be a cinematic fizzer. The kills aren't all that engaging and the characters leave a lot to be desired. But about halfway through the actual prom, which does take up much of the runtime, things kick into gear and the film picks up. There's even a dance-off scene (which has to be the least skilled dance moment since Napoleon Dynamite) to Laura Branigan's Gloria which is fun and ridiculous. The final stretch is a pure delight for fans of the genre, with a couple of little twists and joyfully gory moments of murder and mayhem. Other actors rounding out the cast include Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), Lili Taylor (The Conjuring), Ella Rubin (Until Dawn), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Rebecca Ablack (Ginny and Georgia).

Free streaming service adds iconic 90s horror before remake hits cinemas
If you're a staunch believer that the original is always better than the modern day remake, it might be time to check out this classic 90s horror film before the new version hits cinemas this year. Time and time again, production studios aim to capitalise on the success of an earlier film by updating its storyline for today's audiences. But all too often, fans are let down as the new film struggles to find its own voice. Ahead of this year's release of I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring Madelyn Cline and The Studio star Chase Sui Wonders, you can decide for yourself after Tubi added the original slasher flick to its completely free streaming service. As part of a new release of titles coming to Tubi in the UK this June, Jim Gillespie's iconic horror film is available to watch. Released in 1997, it follows four teenage friends who are stalked by a hook-wielding killer after they accidentally ran over a man and dumped his body to conceal their secret. Starring Scooby-Doo and Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., the film has become a beloved staple of the horror genre. In 2021, Amazon Prime Video created a TV series based on the original film which starred Madison Iseman. But, in 2022 director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and screenwriter Leah McKendrick successfully pitched an idea for a new installment in the franchise to Sony Pictures. Action Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday Redemption (2013) River Wild Southern Comfort Takers (2010) Comedy Bad Neighbours Bad Neighbours 2 Cuckoo Employee of the Month Julie & Julia The Dick Van Dyke Show The Munsters Walk of Shame Documentary Horror I Know What You Did Last Summer Romance Sci-Fi and Fantasy The new film will be the fourth in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise and will serve as a direct sequel to the previous 1997 version. This time around, five friends similarly kill a pedestrian in a car accident and cover up their involvement. However, after a stalker becomes hell-bent on killing them, they seek help from the survivors of the infamous Southport Massacre of 1997. Among the other titles coming to Tubi this month are several films from the Resident Evil Franchise, along with Priest (2011) and The Mist. Based on the popular Japanese video game franchise, Tubi is boasting 'Resident Evil', 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse', 'Resident Evil: Extinction', 'Resident Evil: Afterlife', 'Resident Evil: Retribution' and 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' on its platform from June 1.

These are the 3 movies I rewatch every summer — and they're streaming on Netflix, Hulu and more
There's something about summer that makes me crave comfort. Not just in the form of ice cream or staying up way too late, but in the movies I put on. Every year, without even meaning to, I end up rewatching the same three. It's become a little ritual at this point. Are they the greatest movies ever made? Maybe not. But they feel like summer to me. Whether it's the soundtrack, the setting or just the memories I've tied to them, these movies instantly put me in the right mood. Fortunately, all three are currently available to watch on streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. So if you're looking for something to throw on during a lazy afternoon or a thunderstormy night, I've got you. Here are the three movies I find myself watching every single summer — and exactly why they've earned their spot on my seasonal watchlist. '(500) Days of Summer' was one of those movies I'd always heard about but never actually sat down to watch, until my partner introduced me to it. It's a romantic comedy that practically screams summer, and not just because of the title. The love interest's name is literally Summer, which feels kind of perfect. However, this 2009 flick flips the typical love story on its head — the story doesn't play out how you'd expect. It's funny, stylish, bittersweet and full of visual storytelling quirks (like a musical number, split-screen sequences, and a sharp indie soundtrack). The movie follows Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a greeting card writer and hopeless romantic who falls for his co-worker Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel). The story is told out of order, jumping between different days of their 500-day relationship, from the highs of infatuation to the heartbreak of a one-sided breakup. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Stream it on Hulu 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' might be the second movie on this list with 'summer' in the title, but hey, when you're crafting a seasonal watchlist, you've got to stay on brand. And since horror is my favorite genre, I couldn't get through summer without at least one good screamfest. Now's actually the perfect time for a rewatch, especially with the sequel hitting theaters in just a few months. This slasher flick is peak late-'90s horror, packed with small-town secrets, a group of teens making terrible decisions, and one very angry fisherman with a hook for a hand. The story kicks off when four friends — Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Ray Bronson (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and Barry Cox (Ryan Phillippe) — accidentally hit a man with their car after a night of partying and decide to cover it up. A year later, they start receiving mysterious notes with a chilling message: I know what you did last summer. It's a fun, nostalgic slasher that still holds up surprisingly well. Stream it on Netflix 'Jurassic Park' is one of those movies that somehow never gets old, and no matter how many times I've seen it, I'm just as wide-eyed as the first time I heard that iconic theme and saw the dinosaurs come to life. It's not technically a summer movie in theme, but it was released in June 1993, and between the palm trees, tropical storms and screaming, it definitely counts. The story follows paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), who are invited to preview a groundbreaking theme park filled with cloned dinosaurs, along with chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and a small group of VIP guests. Unsurprisingly, everything goes very, very wrong once the power fails and the dinosaurs break loose. And again, this is another perfect rewatch since the next installment, 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' is stomping into theaters this July. Whether you're here for the dinosaurs or just to hear Goldblum's iconic laugh again, this one's a must for any summer watchlist. Buy/rent on Amazon
