Fear Street Part Three: 1666 Reviews

There's just enough fright and creep factor to leave you on the edge of your seat, but it's still fun and silly enough to not have to hide behind a pillow the whole time.

| Mar 31, 2023

The Fear Street trilogy comes to a merciful close with this inert and hopelessly uninvolving entry...

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 16, 2023

This is a mess of movie plagued by baffling creative choices, haphazard storytelling, and scattershot pacing.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 17, 2022

It is entertaining without being shallow. [Full review in Spanish]

What works about Fear Street is that on a purely surface level it is highly entertaining, and yet the further you dig into it, the more you realize it has something profound to say.

Director Leigh Janiak and writer Phil Graziadei do their damnedest to elevate the pulp schlock of RL Stine to high art. They never quite get there, but the resultant trilogy, when viewed as a whole, is a lot of fun.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2022

[It] strikes a perfect balance by incorporating elements of the previous films & (...) [answers] all the questions posed in the previous two movies without abandoning a plot.

Too busy for its own good (it's actually two films in one), 1666 doesn't perfectly stick the landing of this exhilarating film series, but it does manage to grab you on the way there.

| Oct 7, 2021

While the first two instalments were clear homage to genre movies, this final film is just a big old mess with far too much happening and far too little thought behind the cohesion of the project's larger whole.

| Original Score: 2/3 | Sep 11, 2021

This is quite the shot in the arm for contemporary mass-audience horror.

| Sep 8, 2021

Fear Street Part III: 1666 is remarkably self-assured, confident in its ability to tie up all of the loose ends and bring Fear Street to a satisfying conclusion.

| Aug 19, 2021

A flawed but entertaining supernatural slasher epic, one that is more intriguing for its thematic and structural ambitions than its execution of horror fundamentals.

| Original Score: C | Aug 5, 2021

The series also makes some smart commentary on bigger ideas, like the ways cultural myths can be accidentally misdirected and a reminder that scapegoating has a long community tradition.

| Aug 2, 2021

It's not a perfect movie-the dialogue and accents in the 1666 part, for one thing, are wildly inconsistent. But it's well-told and it's well-acted and it's a satisfying and smart end to what should have been an inherently dumb project.

| Aug 1, 2021

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 is a perfect conclusion to this summer's slasher trilogy. It ties up loose ends, but still offers a glimpse that this world has more horror to offer.

| Jul 31, 2021

It isn't just about slashers killing young people. There's an interesting, revealing story being told about the period, misplaced morality, and a bad deed coming full circle.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2021

The trilogy's final scenes... feel more like an iteration of "Home Alone," with mindless stabbers taking the place of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Those two might not have had any brains, either, but at least they had some personality.

| Jul 30, 2021

Provides a lot of uncynical horror joy and even a little innovation.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 29, 2021

Uneven, creaking at the seams, and not entirely thrilling.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Jul 28, 2021

If the first two Fear Streets scratched yer itch, then go ahead dial this one up.
