Or will they go the extra mile in order to control their own destiny? Their attempts might just wind up destroying their lives, regardless of their choices. The Camp Nightwing tragedy presents monsters (mostly) of the human variety, but there are a few good jump scares near its conclusion.
The annual Color War (which is actually Capture the Flag outside a video game console) leads into a killing spree and then the occult takes center stage as Sarah Fier’s backstory slowly unspools. The Shadyside-Sunnyvale rivalry is still there, so is revenge from beyond the grave. While attending an unforgettable summer camp (for all the wrong reasons), a young Ziggy Berman (played by Sadie Sink) is tortured by the other teenage girls, who are being mean girls, for real.
“In Shadyside, the past is never really past.” Berman is unwilling to address her current condition until she’s forced to relive her past. Totally traumatized by an unreal murder spree, C. Picking up the pieces from the first installment, it seems a witch’s curse has haunted a former final girl for nearly 20 years. Director Leigh Janiak returns to “Killer Capital, USA” once more in Fear Street Part Two: 1978.
