How A New Set of Fear Street Movies Could Improve On The Franchise
With the news that there might be more Fear Street movies on Netflix, fans wonder what will happen next to the residents of creepy Shadyside. The first three films are a fun, epic and nostalgic adventure, with nods to '90s slasher stories and movies with summer camp settings. The movies are linked together by the history of Sarah Fier and by the fact that the actors play several different characters. Gillian Jacobs also gives a stand-out performance as someone closely connected to the horrors that happened once upon a time.
