Fear Street Part 1: 1994 spoiler free review

The first part of the Fear Street trilogy is finally here! Based on the teenage horror fiction book series by R. L. Stine of the same name.

Welcome to Shadyside

In 1994, a group of teenagers find out that the terrifying events that have occurred in their cursed town of Shadyside, Ohio, may be connected to each other, and that they may be the next targets.

Official plot

My opinion

A group of teenagers investigating murders on their town doesn’t sound too original. But this first part of Fear Street is a really enjoyable experience. The movie can have some teenage horror and slasher clichés but still makes it work. With an 1 hour and 47 minutes the film traps you wanting more.

It’s to be expected that it has an open ending since it’s a trilogy. Fear Street Part Two: 1978 arrives to Netflix next Friday July 9, 2021.

I give this movie an 8 over 10 and a 3.5 over 5. It’s not excellent but saying that is bad would be lying. It’s totally worth the watch.
