Man nehme all die alten Krimis, mische die Hauptbösewichte zusammen, füge eine Hexe hinzu, setze das Ganze in die beliebten Neunziger hinein, einschließlich der musikalischen Untermalung, und es könnte ein toller entspannender Film werden. Für mich auf jeden Fall ein ordentliches Ergebnis.

In den 1990er Jahren waren die Bücher von R. L. Stine ist die perfekte Wahl für jeden Teenager. Sie wurden nacheinander in verschiedenen Ausgaben von "Silent Horror", "Fear Street" oder "Gänsehaut" veröffentlicht, und heute ist ihre Popularität verblasst, aber die Erinnerungen bleiben. Seine Serie aus der Fear Street in Shadyside beherrschte viele Jahre lang Fear Street. Es war immer eine sichere Sache, eine Mischung aus amerikanischem High-School-Horror mit authentischen Charakteren, die vor allem jüngeren Lesern Respekt einflößten. Und obwohl Netflix nicht die originalgetreue Adaption der Trilogie Betrayal - Secret - Burning geschafft hat, die ich mir erhofft hatte, haben sie mit dieser Filmtrilogie viel mehr geboten. Eine umfassende Hommage an die besten Themen aus Fear Street in einer neuen Geschichte. Alle Klischees funktionieren, die Teenager sind brillant geschrieben, die verschiedenen Epochen entsprechen wunderbar den Trends der Zeit. 1994 überrascht mit einem großen Drama zwischen Shadyside und dem Rivalen Sunnyvale. Alles ist im Stil der Pentalogie Scream gehalten.

The Fear Street trilogy made me expect a trio of diverse films that would approach the slasher subgenre in different ways determined by their time period. 1994 was supposed to be in the vein of Scream with fun 90s fanboy winks, 1978 could have been a camp slasher renaissance along the lines of The Burning or Friday the 13th, and I imagined 1666 as gritty period horror with an atmosphere reminiscent of The VVitch. Yeah, I know, it was naive. All in all, they are your typical unpretentious Netflix genre films adapted to modern times and a young audience, where the style of each episode does not differ much from each other; it's the same thing over and over again, the characters behave the same way, it has the same easygoing style. In the end, a missed opportunity to bring something really special, but probably still worth sacrificing three evenings for. 1978 > 1666 > 1994. In my opinion the weakest episode, but it's not bad as a start.

It’s hard to miss this project on Netflix — who wouldn’t be intrigued by a witch-themed trilogy like Fear Street? The first part, set in 1994, gets major points from me for its killer soundtrack. Radiohead, Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, Portishead, and Iron Maiden? Yes, please. The downside is that most of the action happens in the dark, and it leans heavily into a tougher, grittier version of Stranger Things with a slasher twist. You don’t learn much about the witch, but it’s clear you’ll need the next installments to piece it all together. The brutal ending definitely makes up for some of the shortcomings, and even though this first part is a bit of a weak three-star, it had me diving straight into the second one.

A summer Netflix event, a slasher renaissance and a decent one at that! I think the next two episodes will be better, but I enjoyed this one. Fear Street is an honest to goodness slasher flick with all the attributes of the subgenre, plus a little something extra. As fan slashers (which by the way is already considered a dying subgenre), I really enjoyed the first episode and the whole trilogy already has cult-classic potential. It evokes a lot of Friday the 13th and especially Scream, the first part is probably the closest to that. There's a likeable group of teenagers (the young black geek is great), classic horror references (Jaws, Poltergeist, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead), a great villain (the mask, the gun, the urban legend), a fine and stylish soundtrack, and enough body-count and gore (although I could imagine it being even more substantial). It's got good craftsmanship, nice colourful visuals, playful ideas, and an imaginative finale. It doesn't look downright silly, it has its own style and the witches touch was very nice. I liked the introduction of the killers from each decade a lot, that was cool!. The finale is cleverly put together, and I enjoyed the first episode without a problem. Maybe on the humour side could have been better, there is a lack of downright memorable lines, and also a lack of boobs (but they didn't have any to show properly, so I hope the makers are saving that for later), but otherwise I’m happy, I can't think of a better representative in years. Story 4/5, Action 4/5, Humor 3/5, Violence 4/5, Fun 4/5 Music 5/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 4/5, Suspense 4/5 7.5/10.
