Fear Street Part 2: 1978

"The real strength of Fear Street is in its characters, not its scares."

"There’s a confidence and a streamlined approach to 1978 that makes for a richer experience in both part and whole than its predecessor..."

"Fear Street Part 2: 1978 should be scuzzy fun, but will leave you feeling clean and bored."

"Only in the conclusion do the events of 1978 really start to pay off in a truly satisfying way."

"Gory but plodding..."

"Part 2 is its own exhilarating adventure that showcases a dynamic cast of characters and revels in lots and lots of bloody murder."

"Again, so much of what makes this work is an extraordinarily talented group of young actors who take the silliness of the witch’s curse and sell it with heartfelt conviction."

"Part 2 feels a tad underwhelming but it's still a wicked good time."

"Leigh Janiak continues her streak with another solid R-rated slasher..."

"A frustrating bummer - a summer camp slasher that’s afraid of campiness..."

"Its thematic concerns and adding of dimension to the trilogy's story lift it above average genre fare."

"The characters... are complex and skilfully performed. It's just a shame that this time the big horror set pieces are so devoid of irony and so brutally violent."

"Giddy, gory, and thoroughly self-aware."

"A darker middle act, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 lacks the verve of 1994 but still delivers enjoyable summer camp-based bedlam."

"A confident, streamlined, mean summer camp horror."
