Fear Street Part Three: 1666

“Fear Street Part Three: 1666″ actually managed to turn me around on this series, but not completely.

Sarah Fier was a closeted lesbian in 1666. One night, she steals fermented blueberries from the local witch and has a party with her friends. She takes her lover, Hannah Miller, to the woods and they start making out. In the middle of it, they notice someone has seen what they’ve done. They’re worried that if word gets out, they’ll be hanged. The next day, food begins to rot, the water supply gets poisoned, and the pastor commits an unspeakable horror. Sarah starts to believe that maybe her immoral deeds invited Satan to her town.

I was surprised at how effective this movie was at revealing key information. The twists and reveals of this movie has retroactively made me like the other two movies a little better. I still stand by my ratings for them, but I can appreciate them a bit more. I initially thought I would like this movie the least since I was skeptical they could pull off the time period right. While the accents were really bad and they made no effort to make most of the characters look like they were from the time period, I can’t expect Robert Egger’s level of detail in a movie like this. Still, this movie does a lot of things right surprisingly. For starters, the romance in this movie was a whole lot better. Seeing Sarah and Hannah actually be in love was refreshing because it made me actually root for them, unlike Deena and Sam in 1994. While the first film had the main characters be lesbian for a reveal, this movie recontextualizes their sexuality as something tragic. They’re two girls who love each other, but can pay dearly for it if caught. Having these characters be cute together and having me root for them highlighted the oppression they must’ve felt during the time period. I’m always for movies that have inclusion that ties in with the rest of the story or is just casually mentioned to normalize it. I hate it when inclusion is weaponized for virtue signaling or advertisement. 1994 and 1978 had a bunch of licensed songs that drove me crazy, but 1666 had the luxury of having an original score. And let me tell you, this score was really good. It makes me wish that the whole series had an original score because the music choices up until this movie were nostalgia-bait at best. Another thing I’m glad took center stage was McCabe Syle’s Mad Thomas. I said he was born to play a villain in my last review and he proves me right in this movie. He’s outshining the rest of the cast with his performance. I have a lot of praise for this movie, but I still had issues with it. It sucks too since I wanted to really like this movie and give it a higher rating, but I can’t because the problems are just too glaring. When the movie cuts back to 1994, they immediately hit us with a licensed song. It’s almost as if they were holding it in until they couldn’t anymore. There’s also a complete disregard for the rules whenever the writers need something to happen. There are these two cops that get killed, but they don’t have Deena’s blood on them. The same thing happened with two hospital staff members in the first movie. The sequel-baiting also forfeits the possibility of this movie having decent closure. The person whom Josh was chatting with was revealed, but it was done in a way that felt like finishing a checklist. The post-credit scene also felt dumb because the book would’ve been taken in as evidence by the police. Finally, the dialogue goes from decent to bad as soon as we jump back to 1994. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes when they revealed who the evil person was. Other than that, this movie was better than I expected. It’s made me feel open to the idea of more entries into this world. I’m not outright excited for them, but I would watch them if they were to be made. Still, I’m glad it stuck the landing since this use of the medium has never been done before and I’d love to see more movies of this kind be made.
