Much better than expected, but a little too uneven to be truly great.

Farrell was great and had a real handle on his character. I loved his mannerisms and he always looked like he was on the edge of exploding in to vampire violence but knew when to bide his time.

David Tenants Peter Vincent is a joy to watch but Yelchin could be replaced with little detriment.

My only real criticism would be that it's just not scary enough, but overall it's really quite enjoyable.

Just watch the 1988 TRUE version and don't even try this mockbuster.

Fuck you reboot.
I wanted to hate you, but I can't. Now I'm pissed off.

I really love this remake. I don’t get why some fans of the original loathe it. The casting is excellent and the movie is a lot of fun. It also makes me miss Anton Yelchin.

Fiat Chrysler (Jeep) killed Anton Yelchin due to badly designed and badly engineered transmission and software, and were slow to correct the issue after releasing a needlessly deadly defective product.

Also, for your own good, always go the extra step and develop a muscle memory habit of using the emergency brake whenever you're not just stopping at a stop light. Every other instance you should pull up the e-brake.

Now, for the actual review: It's got great photography and grading, and a decent score. Colin Farrel is deliciously predatory and creepy, and it's highly entertaining to watch him stalk around and chew the scenery. Yelchin is great, Collette is great, Poots is great, and Mintz-Plasse is hilarious later in the film, while Tennant and Vergara are a hilariously toxic bitchy couple.

I watched it after years, knowing every beat, and still really enjoyed myself. Decent as a date movie I guess.

I know this movie is a remake, but it’s a dang good remake. It’s like Disturbia, but with vampires. The cast is great. It’s campy. It’s funny. It’s bloody. It’s just a really simple and enjoyable horror movie. It’s not the greatest by any means, but it’s easy to recommend.

Rating: 3.5/5 - 8/10 - Would Recommend

Nah cause Colin Farrell is so hot wtf

Dumb fun, off to watch the original!

I was dreading the remake of my favorite vampire movie for a long, long time. When this came out it was a welcome relief. It wasn't awful. It was different enough that I wouldn't endlessly compare the two. It moved well, even though I think their angle on Peter Vincent really wasn't all that good. Fun and quick paced...with some great action and few scares.

I never thought i say this but the 80s movie 10x better and i did just watch it yesterday lol.
Even the actors are better and some effects also.
This movie looks so cheap sometimes and the actors are worse !
But must addmit the scene with the gas was kind of cool end unique (only good thing)

“Welcome to Fright Night.” Vampire films have gone a bit wayward in recent years, but Fright Night isn’t one of them. This remake, based on the ‘80s cult classic and written by Marti Noxon, is able to mix comedy and horror, and delivers a fun and entertaining story. In a normal suburban neighborhood Charlie is confronted with the possibility that his new neighbor may be a vampire. The film has a great cast that includes Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David Tennant, and Imogen Poots, all of whom come through with great performances; especially Colin Ferrell, who gives a charismatic and mesmerizing performance that draws you to his character in every scene. Fright Night is a fun horror-comedy with chills and thrillers, and delivers a refreshing new vision of a cult classic.

no puedo decir que me encanto, pero tampoco puedo decir que es mala, lo que me gusto es que es una comedia de terror bien llevada, respeta mucho a su predecesora, y lo que mas me gusto es que nos muestra como es realmente un vampiro, en una época en la que estamos infestados de vampiros cursis, la recomiendo, quizá no es la mejor película pero si es una muy entretenida y con un humor muy bien llevado con las secuencias de terror.

funny horror movie about a vampire next door. omg antosha i miss you RIP......good cast, good theme.
