I knew nothing about Fear Street before watching it and damn was it good. I'm used to very low quality movies coming to Netflix so I couldn't believe it. I'm glad they're releasing all 3 movies a week apart rather than all at once. Alternatively, had this been a standalone film I would have also been content. It felt no different than any other movie I've watched only to have to wait 2-5 years for a sequel.
It checks all the boxes for what it's trying to be. It's a fantastic blend of a mysterious drama and horror/slasher, with a splash of comedy and '90s nostalgia sprinkled throughout. I know this is vague, but they're all incorporated extremely well and the cast is near perfect. They all did a fantastic job. I feel like people disappointed with this film are either too young or too old to appreciate these genres in the given setting. For reference, I'm 26.
I highly recommend Fear Street. It's rare we get an R rated horror movie and not just another PG one that's loaded with nonstop jump scares. Odds are and best case, you'll have 2 other full length movies to look forward to which are both coming very soon.
