Review of Fear Street: 1978 (2021) by Akshatmahajan — 11 Jul 2021
After watching Part 1 which was disappointing for me, I decided not to watch remaining parts. But then I thought why watch incomplete story and opted to watch Part 2. Part 2 was better than Part 1.
Like Part 1, this part also had a lot of potential but Netflix missed the opportunity. The storyline was alright and the execution was better than Part 1.
The cast did okay as a whole, however the lead characters are unlikable. Movie didn't have proper horror elements. It was just like a simple slasher movie. Emotional elements were missing, you may not even feel bad for any character when they die or are in difficult situation. One thing that was improved that this movie gives you vibes of 70-80s unlike Part 1, which is set in 90s but it doesn't give you 90s vibes.
Overall, movie could have been much better if there would have been little bit better execution but it was an improvement over Part 1.
