Today, let's talk about the American movie "Street of Fear 2".
Title Fear Street 2 / Fear Street Part 2: 1978 (2021), alias Fear Street 2: 1978 / Fear Street 2: 1978.
On July 2, 9 and 16 this year, Netflix released the new thriller "Street of Fear" trilogy for three consecutive weeks.
"Street of Fear 2" is the middle part of the trilogy, and it shoulders the role of linking the previous and the next.
The story still takes place in Shadyside, where Deena wants to stop the witch Sarah Fier's curse and pulls together a group of friends to fight evil together.
This time the story is mainly about the 1978 camp serial killings.
The trilogy is based on RL Stine's "Street of Fear" book series, which currently has 58 books. The story prototype of "Street of Fear 2" is taken from the "Street of Fear" series of novels "Lights Out" (Lights Out), and some plots have been adapted.
The overall effect of "Street of Fear 2" is slightly higher than that of the first one, and the original B-level film had a hidden meaning.
The curse of the witch Sarah Fair has always been regarded as the root of all tragedies, but who would be fine with such a vicious curse.
Audiences who are a little wary can probably already guess that the plot is about to reverse.
There is a scene in the film where Ziggy is hanged from a tree while being bullied at school.
The girl who bullied Zig said that Zig was a witch like Sarah Fell, and said that Sarah Fel was actually still alive. If the witch was burned to death instead of hanging, she would not be alive.
This dialogue corresponds to the origin story of Fear Street mentioned in the novel "Fear Street". The origin of the constant disturbance in the Street of Fear is that the Fair family executed two innocent women who burned to death the Goode family in the name of witch trials.
Although this film is the second part of the trilogy, it is actually the last filming.
The actual shooting time is after "Part 1: 1994" and "Part 3: 1666".
Let's talk about some Easter eggs in this film.
1. Alice and Tommy are the names of survivors in the movie Friday the 13th (1980).
The characters are given such names in this film as a tribute. Of course, the film also pays homage to the series elsewhere.
2. C. Berman's dog was named Major Tom.
It's a tribute to David Bowie's song "Space Oddity."
3. A few young people found a bottle of unlabeled medicine in the infirmary, with the words "L 484" printed on it.
A few people liked the treasure and knocked these pills down as hallucinogenic drugs. In fact, L 484 is the National Pharmacopoeia logo for acetaminophen 500 mg.
Acetaminophen is actually paracetamol, which is mainly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. Everyone knows paracetamol.
4. The soundtrack of this film also pays tribute to many classic works.
The soundtrack tributes include The Omen (1976), where the actors read a nurse's book; Alien (1979), where the actors find their lair; Friday the 13th (Friday the 13th) 13th, 1980) appeared as Ziger lay in camp.
5. Nick said "Stephen King's new book should be good," referring to The Shining, which was first published in 1977.
6. When Tommy went on a killing spree, he killed three Moe town kids in a log cabin.
One of the girls is Asian American and she is likely Kate Schmidt's aunt. She mentioned in "Street of Fear" that her aunt was killed in the camp, which caused her family to suffer for a long time.
7. There are many references in the film to Carrie, a novel by Stephen King published in 1974 and adapted into a famous film two years later.
There are quite a few tribute shots in the film, especially the one that falls from the top of the head.
8. Serial killers can't be killed, and they can resume action after a period of time after being knocked down. This is a tribute to Michael Myers of the "Halloween" (1978) series.
9. There is also a place in the film where there is a spoiler through the background music.
When Nick resurrects Ziggy, Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World" is in the background. Who exactly is "the one who betrayed the world"?
It doesn't matter if you don't notice, because everything will be revealed in the third installment.
It feels purer and purer,
The truth is about to be revealed.
