Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2021 film Fear Street 1978.
Story
This is my favourite of the three. It feels like a good old-fashioned slasher with an added supernatural twist. The framing narrative of the other movies doesn’t intrude as much.
Score: 1
Characters
The younger versions of the characters from the first movie were perfectly cast. The surreal feeling of the trilogy shines here.
Score: 1
Dialogue
Definitely felt off, but not as bad as 1994. I found despite the supernatural elements, the dialogue was delivered pretty well.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
This felt oddly undersaturated compared to the other two. I liked the predominance of red in the caverns though.
The music was a lot of fun and felt like a nod to Supernatural.
Score: 0.5
Fun
I liked this one a lot. It was exciting and fun. I enjoyed the camp hijinks and the off-kilter world.
Score: 1
Overall
The strongest of the trilogy, it could stand on its own. The characters are fun and I love the mixture of lore, supernatural, and good old-fashioned slasher.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
