Part Two of the Fear Street trilogy, 1978, picks up from where the first installment left off and delves deeper into the curse of Sarah Fier. This time, the story is set in the late 1970s, introducing new characters such as Ziggy, Emily, and Alice, who embody the stereotypes of the era and align with genre conventions of the decade. While the movie struggles with similar pacing issues and unmemorable characters as the first, it manages to better capture the feeling of a 70s slasher set in a summer camp. The soundtrack, however, is overpowering and could be improved. The movie stands out in its higher body count and more violent scenes, featuring an impressive performance from Sadie Sink as Ziggy and solid performances from Emily Rudd and Ryan Simpkins as Alice. However, the underground scenes could have been executed better. Despite some issues, 1978 still delivers a thrilling and bloody experience, reminiscent of classic horror movies of the past, and sets up an intriguing finale for the trilogy.

La segunda parte de la trilogía Fear Street, 1978, comienza donde la primera entrega se quedó y profundiza en la maldición de Sarah Fier. Esta vez, la historia se desarrolla a fines de la década de 1970 y presenta nuevos personajes como Ziggy, Emily y Alice, que encarnan los estereotipos de la época y se alinean con las convenciones de género de la década. Si bien la película lucha con problemas de ritmo similares y personajes inmemorables como la primera, logra capturar mejor la sensación de un slasher de los años 70 ambientado en un campamento de verano. La banda sonora, sin embargo, es abrumadora y podría mejorarse. La película se destaca por su mayor número de muertos y escenas más violentas, con una actuación impresionante de Sadie Sink como Ziggy y actuaciones sólidas de Emily Rudd y Ryan Simpkins como Alice. Sin embargo, las escenas subterráneas podrían haberse ejecutado mejor. A pesar de algunos problemas, 1978 aún ofrece una experiencia emocionante y sangrienta, que recuerda a las películas de terror clásicas del pasado, y establece un final intrigante para la trilogía.

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

If you are in a position to do so, then you could actually watch this movie before the "Fear Street Part One 1994".

I think a large part of this is that Sadie Sink is an amazing actress and while she doesn't carry the movie, she outshines everyone else with whom she shares a screen.

This isn't even an origin story, but sort of meets all the pacing of one in a pretty excellent fashion. Introducing Ziggy and the curse of the Sarah Fear all in one horrific go.

They do go a weirdly tasteful route where they previous showed high schoolers being killed, but do not show younger children being killed. I honestly didn't expect it given the amount of blood and wounds are shown, but not really gore come to think of it, at least not in this one.

Even as a stand alone movie, if you're into camp movies and like slashers, this is well worth the watch.
