Fright Night proves to be a faithful and inspired remake of the 1980’s classic cult film. Collin Farrell stars as a sadistic and chilling vampire named Jerry who chooses to prey upon a small Nevada community. Its up to Charley Brewster played by the fantastic Anton Yelchin to destroy this ancient threat and save the lives of his girlfriend and mother played respectively by Toni Collete and the gorgeous Imogen Poots. The film finds both chilling terror from Farrell and campy humor courtesy of Christopher Mintz passé and well-paced dialogue.
The cast battle through a variety of unique and aesthetically pleasing environments in Fright Night, successfully suspending doubt and embracing the campy nature of the monster film. The 3D is integrated well and never became intrusive, it actually lent to the sense of fear and thrill. Knowing just when to be; funny, thrilling, terrifying and action packed Fright Night is a hit and is sure to please the date night crowd as well as hardcore fans of monster films.
