Review of Fear Street: 1666 (2021) by Jluis_001 — 18 Jul 2021

The origin arrives and it's inevitable to feel cheated.

Fear Street used two films that said nothing to build a revenge and curse story on a theme that inevitably seeks to feel woke. And I don't like to mention this kind of thing, but theThe origin arrives and it's inevitable to feel cheated.

Fear Street used two films that said nothing to build a revenge and curse story on a theme that inevitably seeks to feel woke.

And I don't like to mention this kind of thing, but the whole background of the matter lies in a story about an innocent woman being executed for the actions of a man.

Only this time the occult, satanic and horror elements, are elements added to make the mix more commercial.

But did we need 6 hours to understand that?

Because you've gotta be honest, that's the important story, the events of 1994 and 1978 have no relevance because they were only crumbs of the actual story that transpired in 1666.

Call them collateral damage if you will.

The whole Fear Street trilogy feels built like a miniseries.

None of the 3 films makes sense without the others, therefore the weaknesses of each one are a consequence of its companions.

Loses quite a few points for that.

1666 lent itself to being the darkest installment and ended up being the most basic.

The origin is clear, but it spends an hour in it without being horror, but more like religious hysteria, while the second part of the film is precisely the second part of the 1994 storyline and its conclusion. But at that point I was a bit tired of the repetitive stuff.

They spent most of the time escaping. That's tedious.

Even the ending made me said "That was it?".

Three entire films for that?

Again, I felt cheated.

I just hope that what happens in the credits doesn't mean more movies.

That would already be excessively redundant to say the least.
