Review of Fear Street: 1994 (2021) by Injureddriver — 13 Sep 2021

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I feel I'm being charitable by giving it 3/10. It's an attempt to mix the feel and aesthetics of Stranger Things with Slasher horror and it does have that Netflix production gloss to it, but like many other Netflix originals it has poor writing, poor dialogue, lackluster cinematography, and annoying or forgettable characters.

I feel like those aspects of film making have been put on the back burner to make room for shoehorning in every cultural / social issue into every movie Hollywood and Netflix make nowadays. Honestly though, I wouldn't care so much about that if the movie was actually good! I couldn't wait for this movie to be over and I lost track of how many eye rolls I preformed while I waited.

If you're a teenager or a woke millennial or you like everything Netflix puts out than you'll probably enjoy this. If your expecting "Scream" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer" levels of quality, or you like your horror movies to be a bit more gritty, well written, or actually scary, then unfortunately this will probably disappoint.
