Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2021 film Fear Street 1994.
Story
This feels like a Fear Street book but with a little more gore. The end sequence of the movie in the grocery store felt like a way of killing off some characters, since they had an ambulance and could have driven around. It’s also not a complete movie.
Score: 0.5
Characters
I really liked the main three characters and even some of the secondary ones. They were all a little nylistic but that made sense with the setting. The actors were great.
Score: 1
Dialogue
Everything sounded a little too modern for my liking. It didn’t sound like the right time period. Beyond that the dialogue was a little awkward and tried to hard.
Score: 0
Visuals and Music
Dark and aesthetically perfect for Fear Street and 1994. I like the background details that were nods to the books and other horror movies.
The music did its job well.
Score: 1
Fun
This was a lot of fun to start with, but I got frustrated at the characters quite often. The fact that they didn’t use the ambulance instead of the store annoyed me.
Score: 0.5
Overall
A fun throwback to the books, but the characters do some really dumb things. I enjoyed it, but it feels unfinished without the rest of the series.
Final Score: 3 Stars out of 5
