Review of Fear Street: 1994 (2021) by Viroodiem — 02 Jul 2021
Well, Netflix and current culture have seemingly run dry mining 80s nostalgia and have now moved to wring the 90s dry.
This tries way too hard to be like Scream its sad. Whats worse is the characters are all either unlikable or unrealistic.Well, Netflix and current culture have seemingly run dry mining 80s nostalgia and have now moved to wring the 90s dry.
This tries way too hard to be like Scream its sad.
Whats worse is the characters are all either unlikable or unrealistic. Then there are the relationships, of which only one is realistic and its a total solo act. I will say while the soundrack is loaded with 90s hits, the biggest problem with it is that almost all of the tracks featured were not released until AFTER 1994.
Which gets onto the real point. This movie is like someone trying to pay homage to the period who didnt actually live through it. Its just bland haphazard references chucked into a blender. With a shoehorned lesbian romance that is 94% just writing a female into the position of a traditional male role. Its both pandering and insulting at the same time.
The plot is boring but the writing and dialogue is worse. Its so bad that it makes me not only cringe at this film but it genuinely causes fear to realize they are going to do even worse when trying to emulate a much worse period in history of the 1970s with the next installment of this lame trilogy.
THIS is the garbage that you use to netflix and chill.
