What’s It About
In 1978, Camp Nightwing is divided by the campers and counselors who hail from the prosperous town of Sunnyvale and the campers and maintenance staffers from the downtrodden town of Shadyside, but when horrors from their towns shared history come alive, they must band together to solve a terrifying mystery before it’s too late

Fear Street Part Two is A slight step up from the first one but still lacks twenty-first-century quality. So far, they have captured the essence of every campy seventies horror film ever made; A mysterious undead killer, satanic rituals, witches, superstitious authorities, a secluded location, a longstanding school feud, bullies, extreme pranks, and gratuitous nudity. Bravo. Now, if they could only make it worthy of 2021. If I wanted to see a bad version of a camp horror movie, I would watch Sleepaway Camp. Netflix spent a lot of advertising this franchise as if it was going to change the genre magically. Unfortunately, nothing changed, and part two is essentially a story being told by a character from part one. The first film sets up the next two movies, and that’s not a bad thing, it just doesn’t work. The story is juvenile and poorly acted by a young cast in need of much more practice if they ever plan on being successful actors. The movie does have its moments, but it’s too little too late when it comes to trying to save this film. Fear Street Part Two will appease an older crowd looking for nostalgic call-backs to a time when this was the best you could get from a horror film. For the younger viewers, read the books – they’re a lot better.
