Johnny B Nov 26 A pleasant reinterpretation of what it sets out to be, leaving its characters in a cycle of war and blood that's quite entertaining, but it's hard to get through those minutes without thinking how much better or more creative this could be, precisely because it's a revisit to a 1985 film, where having something like this on screen was considered the purest art, but now not so much, it's just another one, and another one with poorly done blood. See more Blu B Nov 13 I love the original Fright Night so this already had a big wall to climb for me. But to its credit, I didn't hate it. In fact on its own this would be a good solid horror movie in its own right. But still it doesn't do anything different than the original. It's the same thing but not done as well. But it's got solid acting that does nail that self aware campy tone of the original almost to a tee. Colin is great as the new vampire and the best thing. I actually kind of like him better than the original. Sometimes though the dialouge can get a bit clunky at points and has trouble at points though. Everything else isn't bad. The CGI though is terrible at points but not laughably bad or enough I was taken out of things. It doesn't feel as smooth editing wise as the original and does feel like it bounces around at points with his girlfriend, the vampire, and with Vincent. Peter Vincent in this is alright but nowhere as good as McDowell was. He probably is the biggest letdown here. Also sometimes it gets so dark you can barely see and the direction can be hit or miss as well. But I have to say I still liked it at overall. If your a die hard fan of the franchsie, any actors here, or the director maybe check this out. But most should watch the 85' one. For what its worth, it wsa better than I expected.

What is really like to see is a updated version with Jack O'Connell as the role as Jerry Danarge See more Christine B Sep 27 Colin Ferrell was a great vampire in this movie. Perfectly terrifying. It needed to move much faster. It could have been so much better. See more MaryAnn M. @MWAMD Sep 19 It was a fun movie to watch. Nothing like the original 80’s fright night See more Drew M Sep 16 Nearly a decade and a half later, this holds up surprisingly well. The early-2010s CGI shows its seams—forgivable for the era—but the bigger wobble is Peter Vincent’s reimagining: Tennant is game, yet the showman riff lacks the Hammer-rooted gravitas that anchored ’85. Still, the Vegas-suburb update, lively soundtrack, and a game cast (Yelchin, Poots, Collette, Mintz-Plasse) keep it fun and mostly preserves the original’s tone, though some quips puncture the dread. This one has bite, but ’85 still blends uncanny humor and horror with sharper teeth. See more Read all reviews
