While the first installment set the stage, 1978 is where the trilogy truly finds its footing. The narrative is tight, the atmosphere is nostalgic, and Iโll admit: Iโm officially hooked. However, the film isn't afraid to be ruthless; the loss of certain endearing younger characters was a genuine gut-punch that added a layer of real emotional weight to the slasher chaos.
