Fear Street Teil 2: 1978

Part One had such a bizarre tone for me when I watched it... I didn't know who to root for. I kept wondering why all of the characters were so emotional, angry, and annoying... and yes, the constant 90's nostalgia music being shoved down our throats I thought was too overwhelming. Trust me, I noticed it too lol.

This one however, I thought kept it pretty lean... by continuing on Part One in the beginning with the C. Berman character starting her part of the story... enough to keep you intrigued for what's to come.

And it doesn't disappoint.

Sadie Sink did a fabulous job, and the rest of the cast did as well. Not a lot of whiny dialogue, and you got to know each of the characters in a more relaxed way instead of everyone simply yelling at each other all the time like in Part One.

I was glad to see that the story in Part Two had mostly to do with what happened to C. Berman, and included none of the characters from the first film (minus in the bits in the beginning and bits in the end, respectfully.)

And it's set at a camp right?!? Especially back in 1978... I mean, c'mon man! That camp full of all of those kids back in those days in 1978 would be ripe for the pick in' for a serial killer. And this film doesn't cut back on the slasher flick-type gore either. You'll be satisfied, I assure you.

Again, unlike Part One I really didn't find myself rolling my eyes once. Great addition to the story!

Overall, looking forward to Part Three after this!!

This one has a good setting which kinda transports us viewers to the late 70s n early 80s slashers a la the camp ones.

This time they showed some brutal slashing via an axe but i am happy that at the same time they restrained the violence towards kids.

The only crib is that there is no nudity n the makers tried their level best to hide nudity which kinda looked too forceful.

Can someone tell me why there wasnt lottuva poop inside the tunnel underneath the outhouse.

Hope they show some good atmosphere n terror in the final chapter.

I have to say that the second movie it's much better than first fear street movie.

It was more interesting and scary.

But there are still things that need to be improved.

Really recommend.

The 70s camp theme didn't quite deliver as much as I was hoping, however it's a lot of fun to watch the story come together. Much like its predecessor, this movie struggles to feel like the decade it's based in. Which is a real shame because I could see these becoming cult classics if they pulled off the retro look. I preferred 1994, but Sadie Sink was a joy to watch on screen, she really carried the movie. I'll definitely be watching 1666, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, olden days horror movies scare the crap out of me!

This second movie is far better than it's precursor. Just introducing a few changes and focusing on being a slasher, gets a decent product. Inferior to Friday the 13th but still watchable. At least, this movie is what people expected from part one. Obviously, It's not original, it's not the best slasher, but it has what fans want: blood, fun and nostalgia.

On the other hand, worst part is when the kid and the girl from part one show up. Total anti climax.

Anyway, I really recommend watching this one, far from perfect but better than part one.
