Fear Street Part One: 1994 (4 Stars)



Shadyside is a town that's had a series of serial killers ever since the town was founded 300 years ago. In contrast, the neighbouring town Sunnyvale is a peaceful town with hardly any crime. One evening after closing time Josh, a Shadyside mall employee, goes crazy and kills eight other employees before being shot by the sheriff. What's wrong with the town?

There are stories that a woman called Sarah Fier who was executed for witchcraft in 1666 has put a curse on the town. Every few years she possesses a person and makes him a killer. Deena Johnson, a Shadyside teenager, decides to investigate. Josh and two of the previous killers come back to life to pursue her.

Why only three killers? If there have been killers for 300 years, couldn't the witch send 20 or more killers to do her work?

Despite a few discrepancies, this is a much better film than "Fear Street: Prom Queen".
