Fright Night

Was this movie nessecary from a remake standpoint? No not at all. Is it still a fun vampire movie? Yeah I think so. It's a generic movie that made me have fun but not much more. The all Star cast it's a bit distracting and using the name of a better movie is cheap tricka but for what it is it's a decent enough movie.

Charley lives in Nevada and is now popular after his nerdy friend dies. Mysterious disappearances are happening and there might be a vampire in the neighborhood.

The movie mixes elements of horror comedy and action like the original. It sometimes forgets it's supposed to be a mix and shifts between being serious and funny. It's distracting when it shifts back as the movie tells you it's one or the other now. Other than that I feel like the different elements where fine. Enough to have fun, not enough to be special to me.

The passing also make the movie feel generic. It's just one of those checkmark movies where nothing feels too special but just like script and movie making 101.

The all star cast is fun but very distracting somehow. It kinda overwhelmed me with all of these famous people poping up every five seconds. I think I got used to it but it was distracting to begin with. The vampire actor is having so much fun with the role. The role is played nearly campy but I think it works for a movie like this. Charleys acting falls a bit flat most of the time with wierd line delivery.

The soundtrack was very good and mixed songs and composing effectively. Sometimes the songs are a bit distracting and on the nose though.

The effects are really bad to a distracting degree. It looks like computer animation no matter What they did and I commended on it every time it was used.

It's nice to have a vampire movie Honor the lore we are used to from back in the day whilst making fun of these tropes. The original also did that though.

This is just an ok film. It has nothing amazing going for it but nothing too terrible going on either. It's generic but still a fun time.

After a rewatch. It's pretty fun. A good time with friends. But I most say, the shifting genres and tones are still really out there.
