Just like the opening part of this dumb film trilogy, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is a flat, predictable and disappointing teen slasher. It's just a slasher-thriller with a completely flat story and a painfully tedious momentum. The critics are out of their minds whilst rating this highly and classing it as a true horror mystery with epic tension.
Firstly, Fear Street: 1978 isn't at all scary or ominous like it believes it is. Based on R. L. Stine's Fear Street novels, without being anything like the Fear Street novels, this second chapter of a gory trilogy isn't scary and contains too much unnecessary adult content. It's another one of those typical horror movies that relies on violence and scary outfits to terrify. Obviously it fails. And to actual real horror fans who have witnessed many slashers, Fear Street 2 is predictable and mostly boring.
It also could've been a better part to Fear Street if the characters weren't so dumb and unlikeable. Every single character is literally just a dramatic, irritating teen who just wants to be the hero and save the day.
What many people will enjoy about this film is the decent storyline and bloody killings, which aren't as compelling as the first film's brutal, gory slayings. It's just a big let down and a complete disappointment. If you are one of those people who are terrified of tedious gore and like simple slashing and mystery, you just aren't a real horror fan. Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is one of those kinds of horror films.
