Reviews of Fright Night 2011

An unexpected, feisty surprise, Craig Gillespie's remake of Tom Holland's 1985 cult horror is a sharpened stake of delicious fun from start to finish. Written by Marti Noxon (who knows a thing or two about vamps, having written for BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER), FRIGHT NIGHT buzzes with energy and style, making it one of the few remakes to best the original in almost every way.
Erstwhile geek Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) has turned his back on childhood buddy "Evil" Ed…

This was very fun, Colin Farrell is great as the vampire Jerry, and unlike the original which is more of a seductive vampire this one is really feral and scary, he is more of a psychopath. And the other story of the main guy was actually an interesting one, he manages to escape his geekdom and get some cool friends he doesn't particularly likes, but at least he is popular and he has a really cute girlfriend because of it.

pretty good horror film. haven't seen the original so i can't speak to how it compares. good performances. surprising comic parts, especially with David Tennant. i enjoyed the FX for the most part, though the CGI tended to get a little annoying.

Este es un buen ejemplo de un buen remake. Divertido, sangriento, bien realizado y con un buen casting. Una grata sorpresa de esas de HBO a la 1 AM.

It was pretty interesting, don't know how it stands up as a remake.

Manages to be different from the original, while still keeping the major plot elements that made the original so great. Simultaneously, it's equally as entertaining.
But I have to say, Christopher Mintz-Plasse wasn't nearly as good as the original Ed.
