Features my favorite vampire, Jerry Dandridge, played flawlessly by Chris Sarandon. While I think the ending has moments it goes overboard with the effects, I don't mind so much because the rest of is it so well done. The rest of the cast is quite good, too. I especially love the interactions between them, genuine rapport. The score by Brad Fiedel is often times powerful and hypnotic. Tom Holland has created what is to me the best vampire movie ever made and holds up incredibly well. 10/10
I haven't yet seen the 2011 version but I just ordered it and hope to watch it this weekend, see how it stacks up to the original.

I saw it in a cinema in August 1985.
Was a really good experience. Hard to rate. At least an 8.
I hated the slasher movie trend so I really appreciated the Peter Vincent line:
"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."

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). |

Refreshing, funny, satiric, and yet the vampire is for real. That's why it worked for me.
