My Review: "Fright Night"

Movie remakes are usually messy or unnecessary. Someone in the industry feels it's an easier risk to take rather than make something new. However, "Fright Night" hit me a little differently. While it was unnecessary remake; it was a good, solid movie.

Actually, this movie didn't have to be remade; it was a stand alone film. In fact, it could been called "The Neighbor" or something.

Anywho, here's my vague review of the flick.

• The casting choices were good and believable. 


• The movie moved quickly and it was easy to catch on.


• I didn't think of 'teens' as High School students, maybe they should been college kids.


• Colin was a great Jerry. Sexy and very deadly.


• Christopher Mintz-Plasse did a great job as Evil Ed, but the original was and always will be the better one (I heart Stephen Geoffreys).

• The look of the vampires was good; a nice take from the original Vamp Amy.

• The new Charlie fit the part. Anton Yelchin did a great job with his skinny self.


• The film went a different direction in several parts, which was nice and refreshing.


• David Tennant stole the show. I totally LOVED him as Peter Vincent. 


• There's no Billy Cole. 

•  One of the original cast members makes an appearance.


• The story was solid. Thank you Marti!

  In all, I liked it and it was fun. Go and see it.
