Fear Street Part Two: 1978
“Fear Street Part Two: 1978″ is better than its predecessor, but the bar was set so low that this movie still ends up being mediocre.
Ziggy Berman is a social outcast attending camp with her sister, Cindy Berman. They’re both from Shadyside, but Cindy’s trying to get out while Ziggy has accepted her place. One day, the camp nurse snaps and tries to kill Cindy’s boyfriend, Tommy Slater. Luckily he survives, but starts to act weird after hitting his head during the fight.
While the first film was completely incompetent with how it was made, “Fear Street Part Two: 1978″ is a step up by being just mediocre. I think one of the most egregious parts of the first film was the music mixing. It was significantly better in this movie, but if I hear “Carry On Wayward Son” one more time, I’m going to lose it. This movie’s hard-on for that song is so apparent that Ziggy stops in the middle of a chase scene to turn on the song. Sure, you’re running for your life from a crazy, axe-wielding murderer, but there’s always time for some Kansas. It’s the 70′s after all. I thought that the characters this time around were a lot better. Sadie Sink is perfect for the snarky, angsty teen role. Emily Rudd as Cindy was a character I could root for since she had goals and aspirations while also having flaws and changing throughout the course of the story. McCabe Slye was a great pick for the villain. He didn’t quite sell the loving boyfriend role for me, but that’s because he just has a villainous look to him that I couldn’t shake off. Ryan Simpkin’s Alice was my least favorite character, but at least I could get where she was coming from. She still felt human to me. I thought the kills were pretty good this time around. I was impressed at how much the camera could show without the effects looking fake. That’s about all the praise I could give this movie. There was so much that took me out of this movie. For starters, the characters make decisions that had me scratching my head the whole time. One example of this is when Ziggy and Cindy seemingly kill Tommy. Instead of getting out of there and getting help, they decide to sit next to the body and have a bonding moment. They could’ve had this moment in a police precinct, but the movie wasn’t over by this point, so they kept them next to a corpse. Another problem I had with this film was how much it wanted to subvert tropes of the slasher genre, without initially sticking to the tropes in the first place. If you want to subvert expectations, then you have to lead your audience to believe that the movie is going one way. The problem with “Fear Street Part Two: 1978″ is that its kills never stick to the trope of killing sexually promiscuous or drug-using teens. It’s almost mean-spirited in the way that it kills its victims. The killer chooses victims indiscriminately like a sweet little boy and a room full of minorities. Yes, this makes the movie unpredictable, but that inherently forfeits the movie from being subversive since the audience is expecting anything anymore. So when Cindy, who would’ve normally been, the final girl dies, I wasn’t surprised since the movie wasn’t following any of the tropes in the first place. Also, another thing that bothered me about the twist reveal of Ziggy being C. Berman was that there’s no way Josh could’ve been surprised by the reveal at the end. C. Berman was telling Deena and Josh this story in her living room. She would’ve been using first-person pronouns. The only way this reveal surprised Josh is if he wasn’t paying attention until the end or if C. Berman was telling the story in the third-person. The reveal wasn’t surprising for me either because, throughout the movie, I couldn’t be bothered to remember their names. Maybe if the beginning of the flashback had a misdirect of Cindy putting on a C. Berman nametag as a camp counselor would’ve helped. I was really bummed because a lot of fans of this series conceded to the first film being the weakest, but the second being the best. If this is their best, then I’m not excited about the third and final film.
★★

the fear street movies said that if you're going to end the cycle of poverty and misery, then you've got to care about the community and not individual self interest. and they said that you've got to learn your own history, not only because it repeats, but because the prevailing social myths are often there to safeguard the interests of the powerful and privileged, while obscuring the truth.

Ok, not just the shot of Nick with blood on his hands in 1978, but the fact that in the ending shot of '78/opening shot of 1666 Sarah is standing above a trough, about to wash the blood of her hands.

My Overall Rating: 4/5 ★★★☆☆
Scare Rating: 3/5 ★★★☆☆
Suspense Rating: 3/5 ★★★★☆
Gore Rating: 5/5 ★★★☆☆
"Fear Street" is a slasher trilogy based off the books by writer R. L. Stine. Part one introduces us to all the main characters and the plot of the story. Shadyside is a small town that has been nicknamed "Killer Capital U.S.A" due to the fact that good people just seem to lose their minds and turn into murders in this town. Next to Shadyside is the wealthy town of Sunnyvale, the two towns have quite the rivalry. The story kicks off with Ryan Torres murdering his friend Heather in the Shadyside mall, Sheriff Nick Goode shoots him dead. Later on at the Shadyside vs Sunnyvale football game we see the main protagonist, Deena, meeting up with her ex girlfriend, Sam. After the game Sunnyvale kids follow and torment the bus of Shadysider's but end up crashing. Sam is thrown from the car and ends up landing on a skeleton's hand. Sam then sees vision of a witch from the 1600's, Sarah Fier, who is believed to of put a curse on the town of Shadyside and is responsible for turning them into killers. When Deena and the crew go to confront Peter because they think he caused the crash he is suddenly killed by none other than already dead Ryan Torres.
