Part two of the Netflix Fear Street series goes back to summer camp in 1978. Movies such as Friday the 13th and The Burning spring to mind here, though they were vastly superior. Impossible to capture the feel of a Golden Age Slasher movie (late '70s to mid '80s) but a good effort by the makers. Perhaps a bit too long but there is some good gore, including a very graphic axe in a head, and Sadie Sink is excellent as heroine Ziggy Berman. Also good to see some back story for cop Nick Goode. Nice soundtrack , including Bowie, Cat Stevens and the Buzzcocks, though it could have been better. Roll on 1666.

Deena (Kiana Madeira) consults with another survivor who tells her story of the 1978 camp massacre. This supplies her with another piece of the puzzle in order to stop the unstoppable witch.

I was amazed how 300 year old books exposed to the elements have not turned to dust. I think they should have done the killing spree to "The Runaways" instead of Kansas. Seriously? Kansas is a slasher song?

Guide F-word. Sex. Brief nudity (Chiara Aurelia)

I've come to this directly after watching the first, I liked the first, I thought this was the better film.

Being a prequel and a continuation, we are able put the pieces together, and there's is a lot of content to digest, plus a few surprises in store.

It perhaps lacks some of the scares and thrills of the first film, this has a less obvious horror, the scares here are somehow more subtle. I thought the set of monsters/killers looked great here.

Terrific music again, the costumes and sets look terrific, I preferred the 1970's setting, and I think they really did capture the time.

A more accomplished film, 7/10.
