Fear street Part Three: 1666: So we go back to the very beginning, 17th Century life is re-imagined in the Village of Union, bringing The Witch to mind. The local teens party, a few of them daringly enter the hut of a reclusive widow and see a book of magic but are chased out. Two of the girls are lovers, something which is anathema in those days. The next day adversity strikes Union, food rots, animals die, the well is poisoned. But worse is to come. the preacher Cyrus Miller is Possessed and kills twelve children, plucking out their eyes and his own. he is swiftly dispatched with a pitchfork. Hysteria then takes over the settlement. The two lovers, Hannah and Sarah are accused of being witches, the events in The Crucible are an exemplar of justice in comparison to what occurs here as the mob are consumed with bloodlust. Again disturbing scenes of horror predominate over jump scares. it's how the pile of eyes on the floor are presented, a severed hand, hanging, the incremental scenes adding up to a sense of existential dread. Secrets are revealed, what really brought the curse down on the community and why it has echoed through the centuries. The film returns to 1994 for the denouement and another battle royale with the serried ranks of reanimated mass murderers. Directed and Co-Written by Leigh Janiak. On Netflix. 8/10.
