Anyone old enought to have seen the original Fright Night movie in the 80’s will likely enjoy this remake. The original was excellent in it’s time and is arguably a classic. Modernized and I think a little less tongue-in-cheek, it basically has most of the same feel and combination of qualities of the first; light comedy, mild horror, action and suspense. We even get a brief cameo from the actor that played the vampire in the 80’s version.
Part of my rating is likely due to the movie being based on the classic original, but still an excellent vampire spoof.
8/10
