Fright Night Movie Reviews

So why do once-upon-a-time good neighbours -- Yelchin and Jerry turn cross one fine day ? Not the fact that Yelchin's a cool dude at high school, while Jerry never went to high school. Not even that Yelchin's a hit with every babe on campus, while Jerry chooses to remain single. It's the Dr Hyde in the Jerry by day -- an alpha bloodsucker with a body count that knows no boundaries. Of course, this is made known to the neighbourhood by none other than Yelchin

This could have been a toothsome twist on a cultish horror-comedy. Instead, the sluggish remake of the 1985 horror flick lacks bite. The regurgitated plot merely serves as a pretext to smother the viewer with gruesome make-up effects and dollops of gratuitous gore. Set in a quiet, suburban neighbourhood of Las Vegas, the story zeroes in on a meddlesome teenager (Yelchin). He can’t seem to convince his mother (Toni Collette)

Remake of a popular 1985 hit, 'Fright Night' starring Colin Farrell as a vampire who moves into a residential neighborhood, doesn't even deliver on the promise of its title. The premise has potential for some genuine thrills, but the lousy script fails spectacularly in mining even a handful of scary moments. Anton Yelchin stars as a bland teenager who disregards his geeky best friend's warning, only to discover that indeed his next-door neighbor is a blood-sucking vamp

So did you really believe vampires were slight, romantic creatures with wavy hair, who communicated in smouldering looks and soft undetones? Move over 'nice guy' Robert Pattinson, enter 'bad boy' Colin Farrell. This remake of a 1985 film by the same name is less Twilight, more Twilight Zone. And Farrell and Gillespie do a thorough job of rewriting the softening of vampires in popular imagination. He kills without a beginning, middle or end
