Miles better than the first one. This time it actually feels like a slasher film. It moves pretty slow and drags on a bit but when it gets to the exciting parts, it's brutally fun. And I'm a sucker for camp themed horror! I mean, slasher in summer camp setting, what could go wrong? It nails in blending the tropes with other elements like witchcraft and mythology making it very engaging. I really like how it's mostly terror and suspense, you won't see much camp or humor. The camerawork, the atmosphere, and the practical effects are all done nicely. I enjoy the soundtrack and it's less intrusive this time, which is great. The kill count is pretty low though and the kills aren't as creative. It shares one same issue I had with the first film, the characters are not really interesting. But I'm glad they're not as irritating. Overall it's enjoyable spooky fun time. I can't wait to see how they wrap things up!

Really liking where this is going, solid installment and really nailed the classic summer camp slasher feel. I do wish they had a kill on par with the bread slicer from 1994, and wish they used more of some of the other killers we have glimpsed. Ready for some 1600s witch vibes where we can really sympathize with Sarah’s plight as I’m sure she gets rough goings by the people of Sunnyvale.

Well, at least it was better than the first one? The acting was an improvement (thank you, Sadie Sink), at least some characters were likeable but the rest was just a poorly executed cliché. And I still don’t care about the 94' characters or the rather convoluted curse. Still one part to make it more tolerable.

There are echoes of Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp in this next chapter of Fear Street. It’s a pretty good effort, with a finale that raises the pulse for the next in the series.

The first one was almost kid friendly like Goosebumps and then threw in violent deaths of likable characters. When you least expected it.
This one is fun but you know what you're in for now. Definitely aren't kid friendly and you shouldn't get attached to anyone.
My main problem is that there’s a lot of murders of children campers. You know most of the teens are goners. The kids dying is like the film is going for darkly funny but it’s really not.
Either way, this one is almost great and better than the first. I did see the twist coming about which sister survived though.

If the meme "fuck them kids" were turned into a movie, it would probably be something like this. There killed a lot of kids.

I liked this a little more than the last one, just because it leaned more into the horror slasher more, something like 'Sleepaway Camp' and 'Friday the 13th'.

The First part was my favourite but this one still rocked. The first part just seemed more engaging with the evil taking center stage. That being said I love what they have built with this trilogy, it's very very clever and very cool and slick and the story is bloody interesting and deserves credit because it's Awesome AF.
8/10

Oh I'm so ready for the 3rd and final Installment.

Hella Yeah

I don't know if this was as good as the first installment, but it was still entertaining and moves at a good pace. I think I liked the characters more on this round but the story seemed a little less engaging.

My dumb face when I realized who the Camp Nightwing Killer and Ruby Lane were from the first part… I wonder if we get to meet the remaining killers, more closely at least. I didn’t see that sister twist coming and I’m absolutely gutted that Cindy died in vain, since I grew accustomed to her throughout the film.

I’m absolutely enjoying this series and I look forward to the fact that they are reusing the whole cast for the third part.

You can also think of the 3 Fear Street movies as a 6 episode limited series.

1994 - is basically an homage to the movie Scream and starts asking all sorts of questions that are answered in the 2 follow-up movies.
1978 - is essentially an homage to Friday The 13th and is a proper slasher film.
1666 - answers all the questions we had and some we didn't even think about.

In other words, the story we thought we were watching in 1994 and 1978 suddenly takes a turn and 1666 gives us a whole new story. In hindsight, the clues were there.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

I have to run through this a second time. I couldn't get past all the 90's teenage angst. It went from waxing nostalgia to annoying quickly.

I really liked the spin that the second part is pretty much a classic slasher movie. I think it's my favorite of the Trilogy.
