FRIGHT NIGHT 1985 1/10 FRIGHT NIGHT PART 2 0/10 FRIGHT NIGHT 2011 barely works as a horror movie and it doesn't really work as a dark comedy... unlike FRIGHT NIGHT 1985, which didn't work in any way. However, it does work as a drama. The best example is the scene where teenager CHARLEY BREWSTER suspects that his neighbor JERRY DANDRIGE is a vampire and he "tests" him. The directing, writing and acting create a lot of tension. It didn't feel like the makers were trying to cash in on the TWILIGHT craze. I'm not just saying that because of a scene that openly mocks that saga, but also because the vampire is a monster without redemption. Oh, and he's not a teenager. 6/10 FRIGHT NIGHT PART 2: NEW BLOOD 0/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog (in English, in Spanish or in Italian).

The 85 film is a classic.
"I have just been fired because nobody wants to see vampire killers any more, or vampires either. Apparently all they want are demented madmen, running around in ski masks hacking up young virgins."

One of the rare occasions where the reboot is miles better than the original. I didn't think much to the first two but really enjoyed the 2011 version

I never saw any of them, not my cup of tea.

The original also had a score by Brad Fiedel. The remake has... Ramin Djawadi.
Poor Anton Yelchin-when he died he was known for being portraying three characters originated by others: Charlie Brewster, Kyle Reese, and Chekov.
