The gender Slasher corresponds to all those horror films focused on an adolescent audience that runs away or faces a serial killer who stops at nothing. Normally, they tend to have weaknesses that allow the fight to be somewhat more fair, but this subgenre of horror derived from the Italian Giallo reached its maximum splendor in the 80s, with ribbons like Nightmare in Elm street O Friday the 13th, while in the 90s that part of visceral terror was lost, evolving towards the art of scare and digestible gore through films such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer O The Faculty from director Robert Rodríguez. Later like all fashion, it would come to an end through the parody of films like Scary Movie. However, the subgenres come and go and lately the trend is being embraced of starting once again those agonizing escapes of death at the hands of murderers that cover their faces. Netflix is no stranger to the claim of its audience and therefore has shot three stories based on the novels of RL. Stine, on the curse of the city of Shadyside. La calle del terror 1994 is a tribute to the slasher that will delight any fan of this subgenre.
The trilogy aims to go through the history of the city that historically seems to be ravaged by murderers and people who go completely crazy. Although behind, what is hidden is the origin of a witch’s curse, of which we will know all the details in the third installment that will be located temporarily in 1666.
The perfect mix for a terrifying mix
The first part of the street of terror 1994 perfectly plays the nostalgic claims that all fans ask of the genre, when they are before a tribute of these characteristics. An experience that typifies and plays with the most striking stereotypes that adolescent terror always breathes. It offers blood and gore in the perfect drama, comedy and romance just right and adrenaline-fueled showdowns, at every move and step of the murderers and their victims.
An almost archaeological atmosphere created from rules proposed in a novel way, which its director and screenwriter Leigh Janiak, embodies with effect in each stab, chase, scare and murder. This is the main virtue of this beginning of the saga, the reconstructing from hackneyed elements the sensation of entering fully into the universe created by RL. Stine.
