The original came when slasher films dominated. That's what also made it so refreshing, especially lines like: "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." There was a quasi remake of Fright Night done with Kevin Sorbo is a tv host and he gets approached to help kill a werewolf. It was called Never Cry Werewolf. I’m surprised they never got sued. It’s one thing to take inspiration, but to outright rip it off is a whole other thing. |

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). |
