Horror. Thriller In 1666, a colonial town is gripped by a hysterical witch-hunt that has deadly consequences for centuries to come, and it’s up to teenagers in 1994 to try and finally put an end to their town’s curse, before it’s too late.

	Media	Author	Review
		Michael Nordine Variety	"By going into the past and connecting the dots, director Leigh Janiak makes her three-movies scare cylce more than the sum of its parts."
		Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"Madeira delivers her best performance in the series (...) It’s unusual that a sequel outperforms the original work artistically, and rarer still that a third film is the best of a trilogy"
		Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"This bloated finale (running almost 2 hours long) perfunctorily ties up the narrative loose ends with little finesse or energy — a shame because the earlier two entries (...) had immense potential."
		Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"A pacey and satisfying final act, where the truth is revealed and all our characters get a satisfying conclusion."
		Anna Menta Decider	"The way that Sarah Fier’s origin clicks into place with the story thus far is rewarding, but the ultimate showdown feels like a bit of a letdown"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"A memorable conclusion to this horror series (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"Showing glimpses of inspiration, Leigh Janiak closes out her trio of centuries-spanning horror stories with a chapter that succeeds more on ambition than execution."
		Brian Costello Common Sense Media	"This movie is better than 'Part One', with some actual surprising twists (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Callum Crumlish Express	"Fans of the franchise are going to love how the story is wrapped up (...) Unfortunately, some of the narrative's finer details don't quite add up."
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Janiak exerts total tonal control, knowing when to wink and when to keep a straight face, making this chapter just as effective, a rousing finale to a winning new franchise (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Mack Screen Anarchy	"It’s a proper turnaround from the first part of this final chapter so that the trilogy ends on a high note"
		Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"'1666' offers a satisfying conclusion to the story of Shadyside and Sarah Fier's curse, even if it still feels as though the trilogy never quite lived up to its potential (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"Leigh Janiak ends her 'Fear Street' movies with a triumphant finale (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Ian Freer Empire	"It rounds off an ambitious triptych chock-full of horror-history allusions, strong world-building, sharp scares, palatable gore, lively filmmaking and a likeable set of characters (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"I’ve loved having these Friday horror treats featuring characters I was interested in and/or cared for instantly (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
