3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Fear Street Part One: 1994’: 1. Lemme tell you… I loved it! It was nostalgic. It was an homage to so much that has come before _(that intro had ‘Scream’ written all over it)_. But it also had a hefty dose of originality. Great characters you cared about. It took risks. It surprised you. And it was a LOT more mature than I expected it to be. I loved the books way back when, and this made me wanna read them again. Bravo. 2. I LOVED the LGBT twist in the beginning! Did NOT expect that person to be Sam. Solid execution. 3. It had a bit of a _Hocus Pocus_ vibe to me, which made the character deaths and the paths into “Rated R” territory that much more effective. It was a weird and welcomed mix. Bonus Thought: I legit can’t wait for the next one. Super invested.

Its Scream meets The Blair Witch but it still manages to transcend both of those films to become its own thing too. An intriguing setup for the next two Fear Street movies and I for one am looking forward to them.

The very beginning feels like it wanted to be Scream. Then the movie becomes about witches, girls in love and possessions. It is basically more for you if you enjoyed movies like Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Though it throws in some brutal deaths when you don’t see it coming.

Was it too much to ask that they all died?
