I didn't read the Fear Street books growing up, although I did read Goosebumps. Considering this was an R rated adaptation, I was cautiously optimistic.

I loved the opening scene. It felt like a nice call back to Scream. It wasn't nearly as iconic, but it did enough right to set my expectations high. Then the plot starts developing, and it goes downhill fast.

The characters are mostly annoying. I could argue I mildly liked two of them, but that's it. The protagonist is incredibly self absorbed, and treats her ex horribly. We've got the nerdy kid who knows literally everything. The comic relief who has maybe two lines in the movie that aren't jokes. Etc.

Then there's the tone. The best way I could describe it is the kid friendly feel of the Goosebumps movie mixed with a slasher film. Anytime someone isn't being murdered, it's really light in tone and kinda jarring. The profanity and innuendos are present during these scenes, but they still feel very kiddish, for lack of a better word. The closest example I could think of for a movie like this is "Summer of '84", but that wasn't nearly as light, and it was far more consistent.

The 90's music, while good, is heavily overused. The early parts of the film feel like someone turned on a malfunctioning jukebox that switches songs every ten seconds. Sometimes less is more.

The horror scenes are actually really good. The opening scene and climax are my favorites, but I enjoyed the rest as well. If the entire film was as good as the horror, I'd honestly consider giving this a 9/10, but I kept getting taken out of the film when there was downtime. There was very little tension or decent drama, just an overly quick pace with humor and exposition to bridge the scares.

It's on Netflix, so if you're interested I guess it's worth a shot. I'm disappointed, as it could've been an absolute classic, but if it sounds like your kinda thing you might like it.

Starts pretty well the first 35-minutes or so, then goes off the rails of teeny booper horror generic romantic non sense and boredom. The movie really drags the 2nd half and offers nothing more than a queer love story and teens running from killers thinking they can get away or outsmart whoever...with the typical incompetent Sheriff doing nothing useful.

This movie was entertaining. Nothing exceptional, but a good bit of fun. Don't go into it expecting a masterpiece and you will probably have a good time.

You've gotta be kidding me.

This movie has fun, a little surprises, however, I would suggest not to exceed your expectations before watching this movie. I'd been waiting to watch it for some time since it was announced by Netflix. It is, yet another, dark horrifying slasher. Haven't we watched the same again and again? This movie does have good fun though, you could enjoy it to some extent. Above Average. That's What a very good slasher movie can ho upto.

I was honestly not expecting much, and at times it felt a little rushed on some scenes, but overall I thought it was fantastic and fun. Genuinely can't wait for Part 2!

A fast paced and an entertaining watch, but Fear Street lacks the edge of your seat moments that horror movies require. There were some awkward tonal shifts and strange editing choices. That being said, it never tried to be something it wasn't. Some pretty cool needle drops and fairly gruesome horror elements really bring it to life. I doubt it will hold up upon rewatch, but definitely worth tuning in for. Can't wait for 1978 and 1666!

It tries so hard to be Stranger Things it even used the same font and colour at one point. Rotten direction, terrible dialogue, woeful acting, TV for the people with limited learning.

Seems like from all the bad reviews though I am the only one lol. So they didn't get the 90's just spot on, who cares? They took me out of reality for a whole hour and 40 minutes and for this my hat goes off to you. So hard now a days to find good young actors. Anyone who says this movie was bad has not seen Queen of spades or Assassinaut, because those two are way worse then this one! Also I think the whole being attracted to girls is being played out, and as a bi women this upsets me. Although these two leads were beautiful together and I kept hoping it would all work out for them. My favorite line "But right now, you've got to die!". So I might be cheesy for loving this movie but I could not find anything I truly disliked about it. Cannot wait for the second instalment. Oh, and I have never read the books.

Predictable, perfectly ok acting, not enough gore, but still entertaining. Netflix strikes again with another slightly above average production. Maybe the second and third films will be better. Although the soundtrack contains a lot of great music, they tried way to hard to fit as many 90s songs in as possible and it gets a bit ridiculous by the end.

If you thought you were going to enjoy this film (part I)... Like me, you'd be right...!

Scream, Urban Legend and the like, all play their roles in this film... and you gotta love that. You must know that it's hard to live up to these types of films that shaped the genre, especially in the 89s and 90s... Just enjoy it for what it is...

The set design and colour grading will remind you of Stranger Things, no problem there, and the writing is taken from a Goosebumps story, adapted to suit the intended outcome. Even though it's only part I, I'm really looking forward to it being ready as a full trilogy from the outset. It's rated R due to the gore, but definitely has a more PG-13 type of feel to it, and not as intense as the 90's features previously mentioned. The reason being, it's just not really funny enough or scary enough... It needed to be both or focus on one or the other, that's why we will find it's rating no higher than 6/10...

The actors are well cast and you will recognise some of them from other teen-comedy-dramas on Netflix. It's good to see them in these roles paying homage to the slasher flick's of yesteryear... The Shadyside and Sunnyville town names were great, and reminded me of the Shellbyville / Springfield rivalry from the Simpson's. The 90's music, products, and early internet usage were fun to watch. The story moves at a good pace and will keep you entertained, of course the main and ultimate goal...!

Watch and enjoy...

Anything related to the legendary RL Stine is intriguing in my book. He has always nailed the tween/teen horror genre and this might honestly be the best adaptation we've gotten so far. The witty comedy stays true to the old stories as well as the brutality that surely hasn't been shown in any goosebumps series or movie yet. Blending all this together is the director's ode to 90s style slashers in the visuals and atmosphere of this intro film in the trilogy. This really could've been released in 1996 and we wouldn't know the difference. The cast is very well put together and bring these characters from the books to life very well. While sometimes the overall delivery can get cliché it's still maintains a great deal of entertainment value, and I can't wait to see what the next two films have in store in the fear street trilogy.

And you call this a Horror movie? Maybe Funny with Amateurish Directing and acting a waste of time and unfortunately publicity misleading people,this is just another wanna be Horror movie.

I knew nothing about Fear Street before watching it and damn was it good. I'm used to very low quality movies coming to Netflix so I couldn't believe it. I'm glad they're releasing all 3 movies a week apart rather than all at once. Alternatively, had this been a standalone film I would have also been content. It felt no different than any other movie I've watched only to have to wait 2-5 years for a sequel.

It checks all the boxes for what it's trying to be. It's a fantastic blend of a mysterious drama and horror/slasher, with a splash of comedy and '90s nostalgia sprinkled throughout. I know this is vague, but they're all incorporated extremely well and the cast is near perfect. They all did a fantastic job. I feel like people disappointed with this film are either too young or too old to appreciate these genres in the given setting. For reference, I'm 26.

I highly recommend Fear Street. It's rare we get an R rated horror movie and not just another PG one that's loaded with nonstop jump scares. Odds are and best case, you'll have 2 other full length movies to look forward to which are both coming very soon.

The movie is decent,but I'm not satisfied at all. The makers should have done way better with this story. The events are happening in 1994,but nothing seemed like 1994 at all. They just played some 90's songs back to back and that's it. The direction and cinematography were too weak. In fact the directior should be banned from doing horror movies. The actors were also terrible.

With all this negatives,the movie is still engaging (one time watch). That's why I'm giving 6.

This movie surpassed all my expectations, it was fun and I loved all the twists and turns. I can't wait for part 2 and 3 to solve more of the mystery. This truly does feel like a classic slasher from the 90s with a twist.

I wanted to like the film. The girls are beautiful, it's an R. Stine R rated adaptation, it's a trilogy. I really wanted to be entertained for five hours. However the film just felt... dumb. I couldn't take another "stupid kids in the 90s" story, I couldn't care less about the rivalry between the two neighboring towns, but at least I expected something terrifying or fantastic or interesting or intelligent. Instead I watch half a movie as people dressed in a death costume stalk people, stab them out of nowhere, while said people believe it's a joke or someone they have some beef with fooling around. Because, get this, the town is called Murder Capital USA by the media, but NO ONE expects to be murdered and there is only one sheriff for the entire town. No, it was too stupid and the prospect of watching not only the other half of the movie, but two more that do the same thing, was too painful to contemplate.

Bottom line: perhaps other people might enjoy it. I found it boring and anachronistic, mixing 1990 dumbassery with modern LGBTQ ideas, because why not, but otherwise being nor scary nor funny.

I looked up the books and they are almost uniformly 4/5 stars, although they seem to have twists and a clear history of why the people in that area behave the way they do and so on. Perhaps reading the books it's a better idea.
