TRAVEL TO MOVIES: FEAR STREET PART THREE: 1666

Director: Leigh Janiak
Cast: Kiana Madeira , Ashley Zukerman , Gillian Jacobs , Olivia Welch , Elizabeth Scopel , Benjamin Flores Jr, Charlene Amoia , Drew Scheid , Sadie Sink , Michael Provost , Emily Rudd
Plot: The origins of Sarah Fier's curse are finally revealed as history comes full circle on a night that changes the lives of Shadysiders forever. In 1666, a colonial town is gripped by a witch hunt that has deadly consequences for centuries to come, while teenagers in 1994 try to put an end to their town's curse before it is too late.


My Movie Review: The movie is a campy, grisly offering, and it's also a satisfying conclusion to Deena and Sam's arc' even though it alludes to some stereotype horror conclusion of trilogy! Fear Street Part Three: 1666 is mostly operates in a different register than 1994 and 1978 but no less entertaining it rounds off an ambitious triptych chock-full of suspense, gore & savagery! Why Nick Goode evil? What makes him pure evil? continued his family's legacy of Solomon's deal with the devil by using Tommy Slater as his proxy, which caused the Camp Nightwing Massacre that killed of several people, namely children and teenagers includes Cindy Berman! What happened at her and Hannah's execution, Sarah convinces the town to spare Hannah's life by proclaiming she is the witch and swears vengeance to Solomon before she was hanged! Makes me question people's judgement those times were the town's united and the accused don't have a chance to plea and punish instantly where life was taken away in front of a stage where everyone gather that's so cruel watching someone die and those people think is justice:( Fear Street Part Three: 1666 might not be perfect but it's a thrilling end to an experimental and unusual approach to horror consider the sequel curse broken it satisfyingly wraps up Netflix's R.L. Stine movie trilogy with deepened themes that builds' to a tense witch-hunt for to survive:)

Critics Consensus: Fear Street Part Three: 1666 sends the slasher series back in time for a trilogy-concluding installment that caps things off on a screaming high note. There is plenty of silliness to be found in this last installment. But while much of the humor still tickled my funny bone, I'm still struck by how profoundly relevant many of the interior dramatic sentiments of this one proved to be. 1666 concludes with a solid starring turn from Kiana Madeira, whose most consistent mode over this trilogy has been very pissed off. Lags may still be left wondering "who the thing is for", but better that sort of confusion than another franchise designed by focus groups and demographic research. A stellar finish to a phenomenal trilogy. A brilliant homage to the horror genre through the years that also boasts an A+ ensemble and deep thematic resonance. A genre all-timer. Horror has a new filmmaking queen and her name is Leigh Janiak. The Fear Street trilogy comes to a merciful close with this inert and hopelessly uninvolving entry...It is entertaining without being shallow. Director Leigh Janiak and writer Phil Graziadei do their damnedest to elevate the pulp schlock of RL Stine to high art. They never quite get there, but the resultant trilogy, when viewed as a whole, is a lot of fun. What works about Fear Street is that on a purely surface level it is highly entertaining, and yet the further you dig into it, the more you realize it has something profound to say strikes a perfect balance:)
