Alien at the Movies

Fear Street Part Two: 1978

It’s sex, drugs, & rock’n’roll at Camp Nightwing as the curse of Sarah Fier continues to unfold in this teen slasher flick trilogy. Survivors from Part One seek out the lone survivor from a past Shadyside mass murdering spree. She tells the story about bullying, tensions between Sunnydale & Shadyside kids, & a siblings rivalry. One summer in 1978, some campers believe & some don’t believe in the local witch’s curse lore... until one of the happy campers picks up an axe & whack, whack, whack. Once again, this series is driven more by suspense than horror. When you know this prequel only leads to another prequel 300 years early, there is little expectation of resolution, so stay tune for the origin story next.
