1Fear Street Part 1: 1994 (2021)
Not long before Netflix introducedThere’s Someone Inside Your House, it premiered another horror slasher focused on a group of young friends who have to defend their lives. Although this film takes place in the 1990s, what remains similar is the intense atmosphere of horror and the fact that it doesn’t shy away from hurting teenagers.
Another similarity is that not all of the main heroes are popular in their schools. In fact, they can often feel like outsiders, just like Makani, the main heroine ofThere’s Someone Inside Your House, does.
