Critics Consensus

Fear Street Part One: 1994 kicks off the trilogy in promising fashion, honoring the source material with plenty of retro slasher appeal.

Audience Says

It has more enthusiasm for its throwback setting than actual inspiration, but Fear Street's first installment does just enough to make slasher fans interested in its sequels.

Deena and Sam's romance is a push-pull between two paper-thin characters whose relationship never gains the contours that make you care about its survival.

1994 leans very much on recognizable nostalgia to build a sense of place-hell, the movie opens at a mall!-before getting into the bloody business at hand.

This easy-to-swallow conceit lets Fear Street gleefully, bloodily romp around, channeling the "trashy low-brow horror" of the mass market paperbacks it honors.

The young cast is excellent. The lore points and witchy nursery rhyme hint at more twisted fun to come. And Janiak’s eye for crisp horror keeps things refreshingly propulsive and infinitely surprising.

Rated: 3.5/5

If you're looking to get more into horror, or even introduce your older teens to the genre (and I mean 15/16 plus – there are some over-the-pants action and sex scenes, which are just not fun to watch as a family), I really recommend these movies...

Fear Street Part 1 encapsulates what made 90s thriller movies so popular.

I liked the 90s vibe. The slasher/witch plot was good. I found the teenage characters to be annoying.

Acting was good, the light in the movie was too dark even when character's were in lit rooms. Writing was mediocre, mass produced cookie cut horror movie minus the horror. Editing and pacing made the movie lack tension. I liked the premise of the movie but it was executed beyond poorly.

I loved this movie. The acting was strong across the board, and the cast delivered solid performances that really pulled me in. The plot was decent—nothing overly complex, but it kept my attention and carried good momentum throughout. What stood out the most was the intention behind the story. It balanced horror with emotional depth, and the lesbian relationship at the center was handled beautifully—authentic, moving, and well-integrated into the plot. Overall, a great start to the Fear Street trilogy. It delivered exactly what it promised with the right mix of scares, heart, and representation. Definitely worth watching.

Great movie, an original as well. Not as much gore to begin with, though near the end, there is a bit more gore, but would not compare to terrifier movies at all. It's a wonderful classic. Would recommend.

La película hasta llegar a la mitad de la historia se me hizo lenta, estaba pensando en dejarla. A partir de la segunda mitad la película logra engancharme y querer terminarla. Las escenas del final me cautivaron.
