Fear Street Part Three: 1666
Now this teen slasher trilogy travels back 300 years to tell the origin story of Sarah Fier & the curse of Shadyside. It’s the classic witch hunt story where the colonists unable to explain the blight that has fallen upon them start to blame young girls for witchcraft. Toss in the strange widow with a book of incantations & the next thing you know, there is a hanging & the curse begins. The film quickly jumps back to 1978 & 1994 to tie up loose ends & to end the curse. Part 3 is on par with 1 & 2. If you liked those, you’ll probably enjoy this one too. If you seen parts 1 & 2, you are likely going to hang in there looking for some closure. But as in any horror film, does this nightmare ever end. There are still 300 years of this Shadyside curse to explore, but will anybody care?
Alien give it 2½ “the dark one” stars out of 4.
