Critics Consensus

Fear Street Part One: 1994 kicks off the trilogy in promising fashion, honoring the source material with plenty of retro slasher appeal.

Read Critics Reviews

Audience Says

It has more enthusiasm for its throwback setting than actual inspiration, but Fear Street's first installment does just enough to make slasher fans interested in its sequels.

Washington Post

Deena and Sam's romance is a push-pull between two paper-thin characters whose relationship never gains the contours that make you care about its survival.

1994 leans very much on recognizable nostalgia to build a sense of place-hell, the movie opens at a mall!-before getting into the bloody business at hand.

Autostraddle

This easy-to-swallow conceit lets Fear Street gleefully, bloodily romp around, channeling the "trashy low-brow horror" of the mass market paperbacks it honors.

The young cast is excellent. The lore points and witchy nursery rhyme hint at more twisted fun to come. And Janiak’s eye for crisp horror keeps things refreshingly propulsive and infinitely surprising.

Rated: 3.5/5

If you're looking to get more into horror, or even introduce your older teens to the genre (and I mean 15/16 plus – there are some over-the-pants action and sex scenes, which are just not fun to watch as a family), I really recommend these movies...

Fear Street Part 1 encapsulates what made 90s thriller movies so popular.

Gostei muitooo do filme, uns dos melhores de terror para adolescentes como eu, acho muito fofo a Deena se importar tanto com Sam, ela não ia simplesmente querer matar uma pessoa que gosta para se satisfazer, fiquei muito triste pois a Kate e Simon infelizmente morreram, Josh não ficou com alguém que gostava, isso dá pra perceber que ele gostava dela quando escrevia no computador, no final é um plot total, pois a Sam fica possuída e a pessoa que vivenciou algo parecido no acampamento relata que é impossível acabar com isso. Vou assistir o resto da saga !
