Kinda came around to the Fear Street movies by the end. What didn't work as well with the first solo was made up for by the anthology. I can't really imagine a better way for them to portray this story. There's still some obvious cheesiness (
the line "Goode is evil" was particularly rough) and there are some inconsistencies (
why did only a few of the killers come back to life when there were dozens of names on the stone, like the first pastor? How did they get whole buckets of blood from Deena without it effecting her? Why forget with that strategy at all if they just had to stab Nick? How did they not get charged with the death of the cops when Deena's blood is literally all over the mall? Wouldn't the lawyer of the super rich Goode family be able to exonerate a cop who had been killed in the line of duty along with two others with some wanted teenagers at the only witnesses and no legitimate evidence of Nick's crimes beyond the existence of an unmarked cave under his home? Why did the curse end by killing Nick if he still has living blood relatives that could continue the curse? If Nick wanted Deena dead so bad why not just give the devil her name? Why did the cops get murdered by the undead but then they walked right by the others?)But overall I enjoyed it! Deena I had previously liked in Trinkets and she did great here, with a mostly solid supporting cast, great soundtrack, great lighting and set work (it might be cheesy but I loved the
mall covered in blacklights). Plus a horror movie with gay main protagonists
that actually survive is a pretty huge deal.
On the whole, definitely worth seeing, kinda like a special horror event, though probably not like an instant classic
