Part Three was possibly my favourite of the three movies, even if only for that first half which offered the most captivating and truly horrific story of the lot. While 1994 and 1978 were riffing off other movies, 1666 was forced to go in its own direction and explore an era of horror not touched upon enough in movies. The second part of the movie felt a little more formulaic, but it offered as satisfying a conclusion to the trilogy as anyone could hope for. I give Part Three an enjoyable but flawed 7/10. This still isn't an example of horror greatness, but the trilogy as a whole was definitely enjoyable, and had one of the best treatment/use of an LGBT relationship I've seen.

WTF are those accents
jon_anderson7717 July 2021
Every actor involved should be tried for hate crimes against the Irish. Not since Tom Cruise in Far and Away have the Irish been portrayed so badly, that said if you can get past the butchering of the accent (and you can be forgiven if you cannot and decide that hurling your TV out of a window after enduring 15 minutes of what can only be described as "animated leprechaun" is beyond unbearable) then you will find a half decent conclusion to the story. Good luck though.
It's a good final film.

The third and final installment, here we get to learn how and why Sarah Fier came to be.
It's a pretty good film, good to see members of the cast mixed up, and given something better to do. Better than the first, perhaps not as good as the second. It's a worthy conclusion, and gives us lots of answers.
Some great production values here, great buildings, and some fantastic costumes.
One gripe I have here, the shocking accents, it was hard to tell if they were trying to be Irish, Canadian or something a little more obscure.
Perhaps the single best scene of the three movies comes here, the moment of terror inside the church with The Pastor, it was incredibly macabre and unnerving, it certainly did shock.
Enjoyed it, 7/10.

The trilogy comes to an end pretty neatly! [+60%]

Fear Street: 1666 is a satisfying final piece in the Netflix supernatural/slasher trilogy, the enjoyment levels of which are totally subjective (as a horror enthusiast). As a film that ties up loose ends from its predecessors, 1666 does a pretty solid job. Director Leigh Janiak splits the film up between the 1666 and 1994 timelines, providing closure to the lead characters in a fun, albeit perfunctory fashion. The 1666 part of the film is indeed notable for its slow-paced build, captivating aesthetics, and a pretty unexpected twist. By the time the film moves back to 1994, the novelty of the first film (which rode high on nostalgia) gets a bit worn out. We return to the Shadyside mall once again, in a foreseeable finale that comes across as a quick wrap-up exercise. As far as the kills are concerned, 1666 has some exciting ones but none particularly memorable.
Well, hmm..

So the first part was horrifically bad on just about all accounts. The second part was better and well this third one is, well, hmm.
The first half of the movie is interesting as it explains the whole background, but the accents are really bad and it's not an original story, but still it's alright. The second half is pretty predictable yet still it all comes together well. And only two songs this time were released after 1994.
It's a trilogy suitable for a lazy weekend.

7-8-9 Trilogy
leong_tommy18 July 2021
I see lots of complaining, but I enjoyed it more and more along the way. It all made sense in the joining together of the story and most of all, it was very entertaining. For this 3rd installment, I give it a 9 for a good job bringing it all together and closing.
It was good!
gauraveve116 July 2021
I mean, its movies right.
Why people are hyper in other reviews? Giving negative reviews.
It is supposed to be a brainless slasher movie.
That was what "goosebumps" books were about, yes we were kids when we read it.
Why are you so much looking for sense in this movie, it doesnt has any though.
This trilogy is one time watch over a weekend or whenever you have time.

Katerinapetrova147324 July 2021
The trilogy is entertaining as a whole and although 1666 did a good job on tidying up loose ends it still missed it's mark. The story is understandable but too predictable and not to mention, recycled from the 1st installment making it anti-climactic.
Also they missed some good opportunity to flesh out nick and ziggy's complicated relationship, when they could have paid an ode to the 2nd installment instead of making it redundant.

Waste of 6 hours.....
luciem-6244218 July 2021
The trilogy massively peaked at part 2 so its all downhill from here.
The irish accents are just laughable. If you want to have the characters as irish immigrants then at least be sure they can do the accent. We had to put the subtitles on to understand what was being said.
The person playing Sarah is not a good actress which perhaps is why part 2 is the best in the series. The script is weak and predicable.
Honestly i only watched it as i had already suffered the other 2.

The primary story and premise was kind of blah to me
kevin_robbins25 August 2021
Fear Street Part Three: 666 (2021) is currently available on Netflix and continues the storyline of the back stories and how the curse began that triggered the events of the first two movies. Once the curse is established we fast forward back to the events of the first two films and wrap up the storyline. This movie is directed by Leigh Janiak (Fear Street 1 & 2) and stars Kiana Madeira (Dark Matted), Ashley Zukerman (Manhattan), Gillian Jacobs (The Box), Benjamin Flores Jr. (Ride Along) and Randy Havens (Stranger Things). This film does a good job of setting up the history with great settings, props, attire and backdrops. The gore remains fantastic as it was in the previous two pictures and the cinematography was solid too. This does do a good job of tying all of the films together. The ending scenes are very entertaining and I liked how it tied all the killers together. The flashbacks to all the murders were good too. However, the primary story and premise was kind of blah to me. Oh, and I love the Pixies as the soundtrack, good choice. Overall I'd say the second film was the best, this film is second best, and the first film is kind of a disaster. I'd score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once. This series fell short to me and reminded me a little of Bly House with better special effects and more gore.
fine finish
SnoopyStyle22 July 2021
This is the last part of the Fear Street trilogy. The series goes back in time to 1666 to discover the truth behind the Sarah Fier curse and its effect all the way to 1994.
This is a fine finish. I've never read the books. I like what the story is trying to do and it solves an issue I had with the second part. Maybe more could be done with the Goode family as a bigger part of the show. I know it's the books but it may work better if the Goode family is the omnipresent overlords of this one dark town instead of splitting the place into two separate towns. Overall, this is able to bring this series to a fine conclusion. It stuck the landing.

Fear Street Part 3 was neither good nor bad.
Like previous parts, this part also had more potential but Netflix missed the opportunity. The storyline was alright and the execution was good, not great.
The cast did okay as a whole, however the lead characters are unlikable. Movie didn't have proper horror elements. It was just like a simple slasher movie. Emotional elements were missing, you may not even feel bad for any character when they die or are in difficult situation.
Overall, movie could have been much better if there would have been little bit better execution.

Neon_Gold24 November 2021
For me this was my least favourite of the trilogy. It wasn't terrible I just think the start of this movie killed any moment. The 1666 was awful for me: the actors had to use old English accents that were so distracting and bad. I felt sorry for them.
The second half does pick up again and I think it culminates in a ending that makes the three movies worth it.

Great finish to a great trilogy
K_Rad8816 July 2021
Ever since they advertised this I'd eagerly waited every week for the 3 instalments. Enjoyed them the entire way through. I'm not usually a fan of supernatural stuff but it's the slasher and gore that got me into it and I saw past all the ghosty bits. It's like Goosebumps for adults, all 3 are worth a watch!
bad acting
poinla3716 July 2021
Too bad they kept the same actors from part 1 to play in this one...
Sarah and Solomon especially are laughable at some point.
Overall, it's a bit of a disappointment... This one still has the same issues as the others. The main one being some era inconsistencies as you feel like you're watching a reenactment.

As an Irish person I just couldn't...
peteleddy19 July 2021
Why the accents!? Why!? I honestly couldn't stand it. Its basically offensive to me. They could have just done a toned down American accent. Otherwise this is still a bad movie/trilogy. Copying elements from loads of horror movies isn't an homage unless the reference is on point, this is like a Gen Z kid that only saw the trailers of all the classic horror movies then tried to write one giving them all a wink. That and they've definitely never met an Irish person.
Ties up loose ends, opens up a few plot holes
tafhuc16 July 2021
It's difficult to review this without spoiling it, but the film is clearly split into two halves and they're practically different films. It carries on from the same quality as the previous two films, but tries to tie up loose ends. However, it leads to further plot holes. If you look past this then it's still a decent watch.
There is less of an emphasis on the serial killers this time, all of the focus is on Sarah Feir. If the serial killers were your favourite and you don't have much time, you could give this a miss but overall it was a decent conclusion to the trilogy. I'd love to see more from this director and for Netflix (and other studios) to also try this film approach of having three films being released in a short space of time. These films were always meant to be a trilogy and it shows.

Disappointing after the improvement of Part 2
willcrabbe16 July 2021
After Part 2 I had some hope that this trilogy could be salvaged. Unfortunately, Fear Street Part Three: 1666 just serves to hammer the final nail in the coffin of the series.
The period setting felt like a mix of The Crucible and The Witch but didn't succeed at the style of either. The accents were awful as well. At least the production values were better than other period horror pieces I've seen recently (*cough* The Reckoning *cough*).
Mercifully, the obscene number of obnoxious needle drops is dramatically reduced from the previous two instalments (there aren't many bangers released during the 17th century to be fair), but they still manage to squeeze them in where they can.
The film does manage to link together everything into a full overarching narrative, but I can't help but feel that Part 2 was almost pointless to the overall story. This is quite ironic given that I thought the second part was the strongest part and the high point of the trilogy, but ultimately it'll just serve as a mildly entertaining interlude within a highly mediocre set of films. I wouldn't waste my time watching this trilogy, I didn't even really get much entertainment out of it and it felt like one giant slog.

High School Slasher Flick Part 3
kenzibit18 July 2021
Best of the trilogy, the 1666 timeline was my favorite timeline in the series. It showed how it all started and events flowed very naturally. The acting were on point.... Just that it switched back to 1994 to the kids again and got boring and childish. Bit overall not a bad series, a must watch to beat some time.
Decent part 2. Part 1 was agony
cupid_shot_you25 July 2021
The invaders in America would have sounded more German
Jade_Emperor18 July 2021
Movie is very good, but those accents can be classified as offensive, the English (who are German related) that went to America would not have spoken like that, please stop trying to rob the Irish accent, it does not belong to you and never will.
