Idid, however, feel that all of the murder scenes tried a bit too hard trying to make the victims smart. They never run upstairs or get caught trying to crawl through small openings or grabbing the wrong weapons. I knew the bookstore clerk was gonna die, but even she was a too smart so that by the time it came to the stabbing, it just felt a bit cheap and not rewarding.

As for the main characters, when they got to the grocery store, I really felt like none of them were going to die because they kept on doing stuff that was TOO smart. Like Kate literally just saw that muffin pan in the bakery and immediately used it stealthily to her advantage. Despite the adrenaline. Despite the fear. At this point in the movie, I felt convinced that everyone was going to make it out alive. Aaaaaaannnd, then the killer shoved her into the bread slicer thing, which was absolutely brutal and made for a great gory death scene.


One unexpected element of Fear Street 1994 was having not one, but THREE murderers, and not in the twist Scream way, but in a time-altered supernatural way. To be honest, I found this concept a bit confusing. The killers seemed to spawn off of various characters in the present, 1994. So we get three killers, including Ryan, who murdered Heather and was subsequently killed in the opening scene.


Fear Street 1994 kind of dips a gentle toe into economic disparity, and the poor kid in me really resonated with it. The movie never dives too deep into the issue to get preachy, but instead uses the issue to convey how this disparity affects our characters, mainly Deena and Sam.


Fear Street 1994 also focuses on a WLW relationship between Deena and Sam, which I thought was wonderful. Now, of course, it could have looked into how these women faced hatred based on the attitudes toward same-sex relationships in 1994, but this is a horror movie about slashers. It focused solely on their relationship and made them both relatively rounded characters.


Again, while some of the panderings felt a bit too slap-in-the-face for my hipster millennial self, I can appreciate that their choice of music definitely resonated with the horror audience. I loved the subtle nods to horror tropes and (despite the characters being too smart) the quick reactions of some of the protagonists in the murder sequences.


Produced by Chernin Entertainment, a film adaptation of Fear Street began development at 20th Century Fox in 2015, with Janiak hired in 2017. Filming for the trilogy took place back-to-back from March to September 2019 in Georgia, with the intention of a theatrical release in June 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, Chernin Entertainment ended their distribution deal with 20th Century Studios and sold rights to Netflix in August 2020.


Fear Street Part Three: 1666 premiered at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on July 14, 2021 and was released by Netflix on July 16, 2021. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who described the film as an effective conclusion to the trilogy.


After reuniting the severed hand of Sarah Fier with the rest of her corpse, Deena has a vision showing the events of 1666 from the perspective of Sarah Fier. She lives with her father George and brother Henry in Union, the original settlement before it was divided into Sunnyvale and Shadyside.


Sarah sneaks into the chapel where Hannah is confined and the two profess their love. Sarah decides to retrieve the widow's book and use it to make a deal with the devil and save Hannah, but she discovers that the book is gone and the widow murdered. She flees to Solomon's house and hides after he is ambushed by men hunting her. While hiding, she finds tunnels under his house, discovering a ritual as well as the widow's book. Solomon reveals he took the book to make a deal with the devil, offering Pastor Miller to be possessed in exchange for power and wealth. He offers to share it with her, but she rejects his offer and a fight ensues with Sarah's hand being cut off in the struggle. She escapes to the chapel only to be captured by Solomon and the townspeople. At her and Hannah's execution, Sarah convinces the town to spare Hannah's life by proclaiming she is the witch and swears vengeance to Solomon before she is hanged. Later, Lizzie, Issac, Hannah, and Abigail grieve Sarah and properly bury her body.


In 1994, Deena realizes that the Goode family is responsible for the Shadyside curse, as the firstborn of each generation repeats the ritual begun by their ancestor Solomon. Because of this, Sunnyvale has always prospered while Shadyside has become worse. Deena and Josh are found by Sheriff Nick Goode, but the two escape in Nick's car and arrive at Ziggy's house. The trio deduces they must kill Nick to end the Shadyside curse. After they recruit the help of Martin, the mall janitor, the group concocts a plan to lure Nick to the mall and set traps to have the Shadyside murderers kill him.


The group manages to trap the killers and Ziggy pours a bucket of Deena's blood over Nick, causing the killers to attack him. As Nick escapes into the tunnels, Deena and a possessed Sam follow him while the others fight off the killers. Sam attacks Deena, but she breaks Sam out of her possession temporarily before incapacitating her. Nick nearly kills Deena but she exposes him to the pile of beating organs in the tunnel, which gives him the visions of all of the killers' victims, distracting him long enough for Deena to kill him. With the sheriff's death the curse is lifted, releasing Sam and evaporating the killers.


Some time later, the Goode family are exposed for their actions while life improves for the residents of Shadyside. Josh meets his online friend in person; Ziggy reunites with Mrs. Lane; Simon, Heather and Kate are commemorated by the school, and Deena and Sam have a picnic date at Sarah Fier's grave, naming her the first Shadysider.


On October 9, 2015, it was announced a film adaptation based on Stine's Fear Street book series was being developed by 20th Century Studios (then known as 20th Century Fox before its acquisition by Disney) and Chernin Entertainment.[2] On February 13, 2017, Kyle Killen was hired to write the script for the film.[3] In July, the project was announced as a trilogy, with Janiak set to direct and rewrite the scripts with her partner Phil Graziadei.[4][5] The films would be set in different time periods and shot back-to-back, with the intention of releasing them one month apart.[4]


In March 2019, filming began on the first film in Atlanta and East Point, Georgia.[6][7] Production also took place at Hard Labor Creek State Park in Rutledge in August 2019.[8] Filming on the trilogy wrapped in September 2019.[9]


The first film of the trilogy was scheduled to be released theatrically in June 2020,[10] but was pulled from the schedule because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] In April 2020, Chernin Entertainment ended their distribution deal with 20th Century Studios and made a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix.[12] By August 2020, Netflix had acquired the distribution rights to the Fear Street Trilogy with a mid-2021 release date strategy for all three movies.[13][11]


Fear Street Part Three: 1666 premiered at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on July 14, 2021.[14] The first two films were released on July 2 and July 9, respectively, with the third film following on July 16, 2021.[1]


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 89% based on 99 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Fear Street Part Three: 1666 sends the slasher series back in time for a trilogy-concluding installment that caps things off on a screaming high note."[15] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 68 out of 100 based on 15 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[16]


Natalia Winkelman, in her review of the Fear Street trilogy for The New York Times, wrote, "Here, there is less to propel the action, and lacking in pop artifacts, lingo or fashion trends, Janiak struggles to recreate the fizzy and fun tone she achieved in the earlier movies," but added: "by Part Three, you feel safe following these survivors wherever they go."[17] Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent gave the film a score of 3 out of five stars, writing that "even though Part Three is the weakest of the trilogy, director Leigh Janiak still manages to end on a high," and described it as "a thrilling finale that Janiak doses once more in old-school gore and deliciously garish neon."[18] Donald Clarke, in his review of the Fear Street trilogy for The Irish Times, wrote that the film "owes more to The Crucible than it does to any American shocker", and stated: "Though the decision to have the puritan settlers speak in largely terrible Irish accents defies all reason, the closing section ties up some ends in a satisfactory whirl of implausibly well-scrubbed colonial paranoia."[19]


Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com gave the film a score of 3 stars out of 4, describing it as a "triumphant finale" and writing, "Executed with the confidence of a victory lap, the last hour of 1666 is a series highlight, especially as it captures the brand of out-and-out fun that has made Janiak a newly minted crowd-pleaser in horror."[20] Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film a score of 4 stars out of 5, describing it as "The Crucible meets The Witch meets It meets It Follows meets the trilogy's ultimate overarching influence Scooby-Doo," and called it "a rousing finale to a winning new franchise." He concluded, "Janiak has found a way to add new life to old material, gifting us with the rare horror franchise that makes us want more rather than less, the prospect of an expanded universe seeming less like a curse and more of a blessing."[21]
