Fright Night
Charlie Brewster has a new life with a hot girlfriend abandoning his geeky best friend, Ed. Charlie finds his neighbour, Jerry is a vampire and he must gather a team to stop him.
I love the 1985 original, and was worried about this. Surprisingly, Fright Night is a pretty good horror flick. Colin Farrell is great as Jerry, making vampires cool again. David Tennant has fun with the roll of Peter Vincent. In the original, Vincent is an aged TV star, who was once famous and going out of business. In this, he's a Criss Angel type of guy. There's heaps of cool special effects and CGI blood. The vampire make-up on Jerry's face look weird and really fake. If you want scares, this is not the movie you're after. If you want an entertaining vampire movie with lots of action, this is it. A great, modernized way to introduce Fright Night to young teenage audiences. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie.
