My rating: ★★★★☆

One of my favorite Fear Street series is the Fear Street Saga trilogy that talks about the origins of the Fears and their feud with the Goodes. That's why I was particularly excited to watch this movie! And I have to say, I really enjoyed it! Now, this movie doesn't follow that series exactly, but I do think it pulled at least a little inspiration from it.

Synopsis: He wants a ride. She wants a thrill. So, in spite of her best friend's arguments, Christina stops to pick up the handsome hitchhiker. He's everything she thought he'd be. And more. Much, much, more. Enough to thrill Christina and Terri... to death.

My rating: ★★★☆☆

This book was a wild ride, let me tell you. So we’ve got these two girls who stop for a hitchhiker and I’m just like WHY? It’s a horrible idea! These girls are so dumb. Even after seeing his temper they still let him ride with them 🙄 The hitchhiker, James, totally sucks. He’s arrogant and super violent and somehow one of the girls is intrigued by him?! Ugh. At first, Terri is scared of James and doesn’t like him, which is the correct reaction. But then after a chase, she wants to get him alone and all to herself?? Wtf girl. No!
