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.

	Author	Review
United States	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."	POS
United States	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"	POS
United States	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."	NEG
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"A pacey and satisfying final act, where the truth is revealed and all our characters get a satisfying conclusion."	POS
United States	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"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kevin Maher The Times	"A memorable conclusion to this horror series (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	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."	NEU
United States	Brian Costello Common Sense Media	"This movie is better than 'Part One', with some actual surprising twists (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	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."	NEU
United Kingdom	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)"	POS
Canada	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"	POS
Canada	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)"	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"Leigh Janiak ends her 'Fear Street' movies with a triumphant finale (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	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)"	POS
Denmark	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)"	POS
