Movie review: Fear Street: Part Three - 1666

Fear Street: Part Three - 1666 has Deena returning to 1666 where she learns the truth about Sarah Fier and the night that cursed Shadysiders forever. Meanwhile, in 1994, ther fight for survival and Shadyside's future continues.

Kiana Madeira (Sarah), Ashley Zukerman (Goode), Gillian Jacobs (Adult Ziggy), Olivia Welch (Hannah), Elizabeth Scopel (Real Sarah), Benjamin Flores Jr. (Henry), Randy Havens (George), Julia Rehwald (Lizzie).

Fear Street: Part Three - 1666 finally brings us to the truth about Sarah Fier and the beginnings of the Shadyside curse. With Deena now in 1666 as Sarah, the friends struggle to reunite Sarah with her hand in 1994 with hopes of breaking the curse. As the story unrolls quite a few loose ends and connections are explained, though the timeline movement remains a bit confusing. Once again, once characters and plot are in place, the film takes on a good pace through to the end.

Acting was again solid with Madeira, Zuckerman, Jacobs, Rehwald, and Flores returning again and once again delivering well. Havens, Scopel, and the remainder of the supporting cast were enjoyable and solid.

Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are again nicely done with good variety and a reasonably solid feel. VFX and physical effects also remain consistent and fitting. Dialogue continues to have decent depth and move things along, while the varied soundtrack remind us of the storyline timeframe.

Fear Street: Part Three - 1666 does a decent job of wrapping up the franchise. Acting, technical work, and plot remain consistent with the franchise once again. And again, those who enjoyed the first 2 films should enjoy this film and the storyline conclusion.

With a fair amount of sexuality,  plenty of violence, gore, foul language, and potentially disturbing images and scenes, this should be fine for older teens and above.
