| Fright Night DVD Movie Poster |
This movie was much better than what I had anticipated and expected from a remake in this genre. I cannot recall if I had ever watched the original Fright Night (and neither could my husband) which probably helped or influenced our positive opinion on this movie. #1: My husband didn't fall asleep during it. #2: The humor mixed perfectly with the horror at the right times. #3: The special effects were at times mind-blowing but average during other scenes. #4: We could actually follow a plot - a storyline - without any confusion. And the vampires (especially Jerry!) were entertaining. Here are the details for you vampire and movie-lovers:
Fright Night (2011), R rating, 106 min - Comedy | Horror - Released August 19, 2011 (USA) in theaters; Released December 13, 2011 on DVD & Blu-ray.
Official Synopsis:
Meet the sexy new neighbor, Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell). He’s dangerously charming – and utterly lethal. That's because he just happens to be a vampire, and out for blood…buckets of it. After high school senior Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) makes the connection between Jerry’s suspicious activity and a steadily rising body count, he vows to end the reign of terror next door. But he can’t do it alone. His only hope is Las Vegas magician/vampireslayer Peter Vincent (David Tennant). Together, this unlikely duo set out to end Jerry's evil rampage. But Jerry is a ruthless, relentless killer, and he’s not going down without a fight. Get set to sink your teeth into this thrilling re-vamp of the terrifying horror classic. Featuring a star-studded cast and crawling with bonus, FRIGHT NIGHT will captivate you from the very first bite!
