After watching Part 1 which was disappointing for me, I decided not to watch remaining parts. But then I thought why watch incomplete story and opted to watch Part 2. Part 2 was better than Part 1.

Like Part 1, this part also had a lot of potential but Netflix missed the opportunity. The storyline was alright and the execution was better than Part 1.

The cast did okay as a whole, however the lead characters are unlikable. Movie didn't have proper horror elements. It was just like a simple slasher movie. Emotional elements were missing, you may not even feel bad for any character when they die or are in difficult situation. One thing that was improved that this movie gives you vibes of 70-80s unlike Part 1, which is set in 90s but it doesn't give you 90s vibes.

Overall, movie could have been much better if there would have been little bit better execution but it was an improvement over Part 1.… Expand

Me gustó más que la primera, es mucho más entretenida, las muertes están cool, y es un buen homenaje a los slashers de los 90 como Jason.

A throwback to late 70’s and early 80’s summer camp slasher movies. Fits well as a sequel/companion piece to the first movie, even with slightly better pacing and story structure, it manages to keep a cohesive narrative overall.

While dropping the original staples that held the first film together, this second entry in the Fear Street Trilogy wholly embraces it's origins and pays bloody homage to Friday the 13th in classic, stereotypical, gory fashion. Almost the entire cast of characters are nothing more than bloody smears on cabin walls by the end, and the authentic acting on display really makes you feel something for most of them when they do inevitably perish. A great summer slasher film with an awesome set up for an insane part three.… Expand

More nostalgia, equal or even more blood, Fear Street Part Two: 1978 continues the slasher + witchcraft trilogy in the best way.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is great, i honestly really like this one more than the first movie. The story and script is way better than "Fear Street: 1994". The music and outfits was great and the acting in this movie made me feel like i was actually watching something from the 70s or early 1980s, the acting felt way more "natural" idk, and it's way more gory, brutal, sad than the first one. The plot twist in the end was good but kinda obvious (i knew bcuz in the 1st movie, when they first called Berman, it sounded like ziggy but like an older version of her and Cindy would have looked older in 1994) the film series might just keep getting better and better.… Expand

Really enjoyed this film! If you're emotional like me, you will find it slightly sad as well! Great for those that like gore and horror! Better than the first edition and I cannot wait until the third part!

The whole series is good although sometimes you don't know if it's a horror or a comedy. If you like strong horror movies this is not the series for you, if you are starting with horror movies watch it with confidence.

Fear Street: Part Two was an incredible edition to the story and I actually think it invokes the feeling of old slasher films the best. You can definitely tell where the inspiration came from and everyone did such a wonderful job!

As a standalone, it’s a fast, fun watch with lots of nods to classic films and a good sense of humour, but as part of a whole, Fear Street is building to become something genuinely unique and special of its own.
