United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Feeble comic one-liners and slow pacing combine for a routine fangfest in this remake of the 1985 film (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"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: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"A cleverly balanced mix of scares and laughs that is funnier and more terrifying than the 1985 original"	POS
United States	Wesley Morris Boston Globe	"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)"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"'Fright Night' is the best thing to happen to horror movies since red food coloring and Karo syrup (...) Energetic, suspenseful and delightfully original"	POS
