\"Fear<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fear Street<\/em><\/strong> saga comes to a satisfying close with\u00a0Fear Street Part 3: 1666<\/em><\/strong>, a grand finale that manages to tie the entire series<\/a> together in a neat little bow. Drawing on\u00a0The Witch<\/em>, Terrence Malick\u2019s\u00a0The New World<\/em> (yes, really),\u00a0The Crucible<\/em>, and more,\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em> is another loving pastiche; a tribute to the endless horror (and other) influences that came before it. All this homage can make for moments of predictability, and indeed, things that are meant to be big twists here are spotted coming miles away. But none of that truly diminishes the immensely entertaining accomplishment director Leigh Janiak<\/strong> has achieved with this trilogy. Long live\u00a0Fear Street.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

1666<\/em> strives to answer any lingering questions that haunt the\u00a0Fear Street<\/em> saga. We\u2019re thrust back in time to Union, the colony that would eventually break in half to form the prosperous Sunnyvale and the haunted Shadyside. All throughout this series, the teen heroes of\u00a0Fear Street<\/em> have been dealing with the curse of Sarah Fier, an alleged witch hanged back in 1666. Up until now, the series has avoided giving Sarah Fier an actual physical presence. She\u2019s only been mentioned, with the undead slashers carrying out the dirty work.<\/p>\n

But Sarah comes to life here.\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em> makes the interesting, and perhaps unnecessary choice of having\u00a0Kiana Madeira<\/strong>, who also plays 1990s teen\u00a0Deena Johnson in the series, play Sarah Fier. Sort of. The\u00a0real<\/em> Sarah Fier, who is glimpsed from time to time in quick flashes, is actually played by\u00a0Elizabeth Scopel<\/strong>, but Madeira acts as her stand-in. It\u2019s not entirely clear why the film takes this app<\/a>roach \u2013 we aren\u2019t meant to be watching Deena herself suddenly thrust back in time. She\u2019s just supposed to be Sarah. And elsewhere in Union, we see actors from the previous films \u2013 like Sadie Sink<\/strong>,\u00a0Julia Rehwald<\/strong>,\u00a0Benjamin Flores Jr.<\/strong>, and more \u2013 playing different characters. Are they meant to be ancestors of the characters we met in the other films? Have they been reincarnated?\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em> never bothers to address this, and I suspect the real reason for doubling up the actors is simply so the audience can quickly identify and sympathize with everyone without the script having to do much heavy lifting. After all, it\u2019s as if we know all these people already.
\nAs potentially lazy as all of this is, it doesn\u2019t hurt\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em>. Primarily because this is all secondary, and Maderia\u2019s Sarah Fier is the focus here. While Maderia (and everyone else in the 1600s setting) is forced to adopt a sometimes questionable Irish accent, she does her strongest work of the trilogy in this film, turning Sarah Fier into a sympathetic, memorable character. Sarah has always been different \u2013 \u201cThere\u2019s always been a strangeness about you,\u201d her father tells her \u2013 and Maderia\u2019s work is emotionally rounded and even beautiful. If this trilogy, and film\u2019s performance, in particular, doesn\u2019t help her career grow even bigger, something is seriously wrong here.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been paying attention to the trilogy you\u2019ve probably guessed that there\u2019s more to the Sarah Fier story than the spooky legends suggest, and\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em> peels back the curtain and gives us the truth. It\u2019s a harsh, cruel, tragic truth, telling a story of how strong women can be punished for daring to be themselves. Sarah has fallen in love with her friend Hannah (played by\u00a0Olivia Scott Welch<\/strong>, who also plays Sam in the \u201990s), just as Deena and Sam have fallen in love centuries later. But while the romance between the two girls may seem taboo to some in the 1990s, it\u2019s downright blasphemous in 1666. As Hannah points out, if the townsfolk discover that the two young women are making eyes at each other, they\u2019ll both be condemned to death.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This potential discovery, and the certain doom that comes with it, casts a long, dark shadow over the relationship, tearing Sarah up inside. But she\u2019ll soon have bigger problems because after Union\u2019s minister goes mad and murders several children, the residents descend into hysteria. They don\u2019t accept that a man of the cloth simply snapped and went crazy \u2013 they\u2019re convinced some sort of witchcraft is afoot here. It doesn\u2019t help matters that the town well ends up poisoned, food spoils, and other foul omens crop up. These are the bubbling, deadly ingredients of a witch hunt in the making.<\/p>\n

Because the majority of the film takes place in 1666, Janiak and company are forced to drop the incessant needle drops \u2013 and thank heavens for that. The constant barrage of wall-to-wall music was one of the major distractions of\u00a0Fear Street Part 1<\/em> and\u00a0Fear Street Part 2<\/em>, and by finally turning them off, Janiak has ended up crafting a much stronger film. We no longer need pop hits to tell us how to feel \u2013 we can let the storytelling do the work. This is coupled with Malick-like shots of babbling brooks and sun creeping through the leaves on trees. When I saw Janiak claim in press materials that she drew on Malick\u2019s\u00a0The New World<\/em> for this entry, I was both amused and doubtful. But Janiak wasn\u2019t kidding around \u2013 there are shots here that genuinely look as if they were lifted directly from Malick\u2019s masterpiece, and having such imagery unfolding in a Netflix horror movie is a touch surreal.
\nEventually,\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em> finds its way back to the 1990s, resulting in a\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em>-esque finale that isn\u2019t quite as satisfying as the 1600s segments \u2013 but still plenty fun. There\u2019s a late scene that can best be described as a slasher royal rumble, with all of the trilogy\u2019s monsters smashing together while black lights cast their eerie dark glow over the town mall. It\u2019s a horror lover\u2019s dream to watch.<\/p>\n

A stimulating, inspired atmosphere prevails \u2013 we\u2019re caught up in the lives of these characters, and we want them to succeed, damn it! When Deena gives a big motivational speech about saving Shadyside, it\u2019s both\u00a0fatuously corny and charmingly rousing.\u00a0Oh, brother<\/em>, you want to cringe while thinking,\u00a0Hell yeah, go get \u2019em, kids!<\/em> at the same exact time. You can\u2019t beat that sort of pervasive fun, and make no mistake \u2013\u00a0Fear Street Part 3<\/em> is an absolute blast. But there\u2019s tragic darkness prevailing here, as there has been through the previous entries. Yes, we\u2019re having a good time with all this horror, but we\u2019re also affected by the senseless death and dismemberment. There is no reveling in the spilling of blood here. There\u2019s just a unique feeling of loss; the sense of cosmic injustice at young lives being cruelly snuffed out by thoughtless, uncaring hands. It\u2019s oddly beautiful in a\u00a0devastating way. Who knew R.L. Stine books could inspire something like this?<\/p>\n

Fear Street<\/em> has become an event almost by accident. The trilogy was originally designed for theaters, but its Netflix release strategy of a new film every week has given this series the type of staying-power that so many other straight-to-streaming films lack. In fact, don\u2019t be surprised if you find yourself sad that this will be your last visit to Shadyside.\u00a0But who knows what the future holds. If Netflix, Janiak, and company invite us to take another stroll down\u00a0Fear Street <\/em>someday, I\u2019m more than ready to go back. I think you will be, too.<\/p>\n
