![]() ![]() Fear Street Part 1: 1994 is a nasty, effective slasher about a group of teenagers who come into contact with the curse that’s been plaguing their town of Shadyside, Ohio, for three centuries - one that has something to do with an accused witch, Sarah Fier, who was hanged in a settlement in the area back in 1666. And yet, I’ll confess to feeling a sense of relief on realizing that the kickoff Fear Street film wasn’t about more than it says on the package. ![]() Give me a film that’s as haunted by the traumas of its characters as by its killers, ghosts, and ghouls, and I’m already halfway onboard. I like my dread slow-dripped and my scares born more out of cunning camera angles and disturbing imagery than shock-y jumps. I’m pathetically in the bag for arthouse horror. Vulture will be reviewing each installment of the trilogy as they release here. The first Fear Street premiered on Netflix on July 2. ![]() The delightfully nasty Fear Street exists in this strange space between movies and television, serving neither format well. ![]()
