Fright Night 2011 ★★★½

Watched Jun 11, 2012

A surprisingly fun exercise in cheesy excess.

Although Tenant's Peter Vincent stole every scene he was in, it wasn't for lack of the other actor's performances. Yelchin's awkward lead-guy was believable, Toni Collette was great as his mum, Farrell made a great vamp on the prowl. And at least he's attractive, unlike the original's block-headed Chris Sarandon!

And thank the Engineer's that they ditched the slow-dance scene in the nightclub!

Bit of an over-reliance on CG in the end scenes, but maybe I'm still attached to the dodgy puppet-work of the original.
