Fright Night
Fright Night
A remake of the 1985 original, teenager Charley Brewster (Yelchin) guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (Tennant), a self proclaimed vampire killer and Las Vegas magician, to help him take down Jerry.

Fun that is not in the sun! No oscars, no deep meaning, just a fun vampire movie that is sexy, gory, fun, and a bit angsty. It doesn’t take anything from the original but would stand easily on its own. Collin eats this role up in more ways than one. He is tempting to everyone and plays the part without camp. Tenet on the other hand is camp personified in his role but it works well. Toni Colette is fabulous as she is in everything she does. The movie is fun and is a good update when we now know not to investigate things that go bump in the night and can slay a vampire. A little sexy, a little fright, a little story, a little gore makes Fright Night worth a watch.
