Welcome to Shadyside.
Review: Netflix is doing something new with horror trilogy series “Fear Street”:
all the movies are coming out in the same month. It starts with “Fear Street Part
1: 1994”.
Author R.L. Stine has given
many children nightmares with his horror book series “Goosebumps”. With “Fear
Street”, he makes an attempt to traumatize young adults. These books are the
inspiration for the Netflix movies of the same name. And it’s nice we don’t
have to wait too long to see how the trilogy ends.
The first film of this
series is a fun and gory start, that is paying homage to the slasher films of
the 1990s and providing a solid foundation for the world to be explored in
greater depth in the following films. It feels like a love letter to the
mid-90s slasher, complete with massive amounts of blood and the obligatory archetype
characters. And there is plenty of blood, especially in the third act. It’s not
an exact adaption of the book, but it’s a fun watch. And lots of 90s nostalgia
with a great soundtrack.
Looking forward to “Fear
Street Part 2: 1978”, where we go back in time.
