The "Fear Street" trilogy is based on the young adult horror book series of the same name by R.L. Stine. The series was originally published between 1989 and 1999, and consists of over 50 books.
The trilogy consists of three interconnected movies: "Fear Street Part One: 1994," "Fear Street Part Two: 1978," and "Fear Street Part Three: 1666." Each movie is set in a different time period, but they all tie together to tell one overarching story.
The movies were directed by Leigh Janiak, who also co-wrote the screenplays with Phil Graziadei and Kate Trefry. Janiak is the first female filmmaker to helm a feature film for the "Fear Street" franchise.
The cast includes up-and-coming young actors such as Kiana Madeira, Olivia Scott Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., and Sadie Sink, as well as more established performers like Gillian Jacobs and Maya Hawke.
The trilogy has been praised for its blend of horror and nostalgia, with many critics noting that it successfully captures the feel of '90s and '80s slasher movies while still feeling fresh and original.
"Fear Street Part One: 1994" was released on Netflix on July 2, 2021, followed by "Fear Street Part Two: 1978" on July 9, and "Fear Street Part Three: 1666" on July 16. All three movies are currently available to stream on Netflix.
