Fear Street Trilogy (2021)
Freaky Three
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
Based on a series of Young Adult novels by R.L. Stine and directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon), the three connected Fear Street movies achieve the neat trick of feeling like YA stories, but also including grown-up gore to please more sophisticated horror fans. Fear Street: Part One - 1994 sets up the tale about a centuries-old witch, "Sarah Fier," who possesses the bodies of teens and goes on murderous rampages (accompanied by some cool, vintage alt-rock tunes). Fear Street: Part Two - 1978 is a summer-camp movie with high socks (think Meatballs meets Friday the 13th). And Fear Street: Part Three - 1666 transports all the actors back in time, playing earlier incarnations of themselves, and ingeniously wrapping things up. There's lots of carnage and gore, but Janiak's bright, robust tone keeps it from feeling too intense. Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Gillian Jacobs, Kiana Madeira, and Benjamin Flores Jr. play just a few of the many characters.
