A smart and subversive twist on slasher horror, Fear Street Part II: 1978 shows that summer camp has never been scarier thanks to stellar performances from Sadie Sink, Emily Rudd, and Ryan Simpkins.

Inkoo Kang Washington Post So much of the trilogy is dedicated to expositional scenes laying down the foundations of Shadyside's history, there's too much that's admirable in theory and flat on screen. Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com As love letters to 1970s and '80s slashers go, this is one of the best I've seen outside of 2015's The Final Girls. Rated: 3/4 Jul 26, 2021 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Compared with 1994, in 1978, the kills were more shocking, the atmosphere more tense, the characters more believable and well-rounded, and the world-building more thoughtful. Jul 24, 2021 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Of course, there's some classic R.L. Stine twists that keep you guessing until the very end... Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies As for “1978”, it manages to be both nostalgically transporting and needlessly irritating. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage A homage to '70s slasher horror films full of gore and carnage. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Que filme perfeito! Já assisti a parte 1 e adorei, a mesma coisa desse, o filme conta o que aconteceu no acampamento, eles tinham q juntar a mão de Sarah Fier, mas infelizmente não conseguiram pois a Bruxa sempre estará viva, fiquei muito triste que a Cindy e a Alice morreram, gostava muito das duas, chorei horrores! Não vejo a hora de assistir a parte 3 que vai contar sobre a origem. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Mark O Not quite as good as the original but still enjoyed it Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Jayster 3 Fear Street Pt. 2: 1978 continues the amazing and interesting story that was established in Pt. 1 and reveals more backstory and connects the stories perfectly.
