The Review: Fear Street Part 2: 1978


Fear Street Part 2: 1978 (7/10)


I ain't gonna even try to describe this movie. I liked it but it was about half an hour too long. That half hour was spent watching teenagers running and being chopped by a dude with an ax. This is the story of the woman that the teens found in the first film and how she survived Sarah Fier back in 1978. Her older sister works as a camp counselor and tries to pretend that their lives are okay even though she lives in Shadyville and that entire town is fucked and no one can leave. Cindy is the older sister while Ziggy is the younger. Cindy's boyfriend Tommy ends up getting possessed after the nurse says that he is gonna kill everyone and she tries to take him out. The nurses daughter is the girl from the first film that killed a bunch of people with a razor while singing before killing herself. Tommy starts spacing out and acting all weird.



The teens find the nurses diary and she had been doing research on Sarah Lier thinking that she had possessed her daughter. They said that Sarah made a deal with the devil and cut off her left hand. This all seems to be true so far. What I still don't know after watching this is how the fuck to stop the witch. Like, if you kill one of her killers she sends after you they keep coming back. I'm hoping the third and final part in this series explains why she so damned unstoppable. I guess it don't matter since in the future everyone has already been killed and fucked up. Maybe I should have watched these backwards. This was way more brutal than the first movie and had more characters. This maybe should have been two parts to show more of the relationship between Ziggy and Cindy. It was kinda rushed but was okay. It gets to a point where I just figured no one is gonna survive.
