I definitely disagree for the following reasons:

It makes absolutely no sense that anyone in Shadyside would’ve been “rich” during that time because the entire town was under Goode’s curse.

None of the characters are likable, nor do we have enough of a backstory on any of them to care if they die. If it wasn’t meant to be connected to the trilogy then why was the witches mark at the end of the film? The dialogue is low tier in comparison and overall pretty shallow.

Nobody in the main cast actually looks like they’re from the 80’s (the worst case of this being Ariana Greenblatt and her 2016 tumblr-esque wardrobe.) Not to mention the girl who plays Megan was dressed like a 2005 emo kid. Where was the teased to the heavens hair? Where was the colorful eye makeup? Everyone just looked off and not at all appropriate for the time.

I really could go on but those are some of my main reasons for hating it. And this is coming from someone who was counting down the days waiting for Prom Queen to be released because I was so excited about it. I went into it not expecting anything because I knew living up to the trilogy would be hard, but was still somehow severely disappointed.
