SYNOPSIS/PLOT

A remake of the 1985 cult classic. Teen Charlie Brewster's (Anton Yelchin) beginning his senior year of high school and things are finally falling into place: he's grown a few inches, gained a few pounds and he’s now dating the most coveted girl in school. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a cool guy, but beneath the surface, there’s something off about him – something intimidating. And after observing some very strange activity along with the mysterious disappearance of his best friend, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire who’s preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone of what he knows, Charlie is going to have to come face to face with the monster himself.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Feeble comic one-liners and slow pacing combine for a routine fangfest in this remake of the 1985 film (...) Rating: *1/2 (out of four)" (Kyle Smith: New York Post)

----------------------------------------
"Menace and mirth can cancel each other out. But the combo clicked in 1985's Fright Night (banish the 1988 sequel), and it clicks again in this frisky 3D remake (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"A cleverly balanced mix of scares and laughs that is funnier and more terrifying than the 1985 original" (Robert Koehler: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"Gillespie's movie is light and enjoyably foul, and part of the pleasure of watching is the evident pleasure everyone involved had in making it (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Wesley Morris: Boston Globe)

----------------------------------------
"'Fright Night' is the best thing to happen to horror movies since red food coloring and Karo syrup (...) Energetic, suspenseful and delightfully original" (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune )
