Why it’s HorroRated

Recasting familiar faces as Union's settlers is a gutsy move, and it works by making the witch hunt feel personal rather than like a history lesson. Kiana Madeira carries the dual role with real conviction, and her scenes with Olivia Scott Welch give the folk-horror half an aching tenderness that the village's paranoia slowly crushes. The period accents come and go, and the 1666 stretch moves more deliberately than the slashers before it, so patience helps. Once the story snaps back to 1994, the trilogy cashes in its setups with gleeful energy and lands a finale that rewards the whole three-night binge.

Synopsis

Split into two halves, Fear Street Part Three: 1666 (2021) closes Netflix's trilogy by first traveling to the 17th-century settlement where Shadyside's troubles began, then returning to 1994 for the last push to break them. Leigh Janiak, writing with Kate Trefry and Phil Graziadei, recasts the trilogy's actors as villagers: Kiana Madeira plays Sarah Fier, Olivia Scott Welch is Hannah Miller, and Benjamin Flores Jr. and Ashley Zukerman return in new roles. On screen the first half carries the title 1666 and the second picks up as 1994: Part 2, with Gillian Jacobs back in the present-day fight. Released July 16, 2021, it mixes folk horror and witch-hunt drama with the slasher energy of the earlier films.
