InspireGato Film Perfection

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

andrew_flay Decided to put this gem on the other night for the partner, said to her i wanted to watch remake as well. this film was the pinnacle of my childhood, my mother would put this on for me all the time when i was younger, i loved it. So i put it on for my partner she had never seen this film before.I could see as we started watching it, she was not interested she was on and off her phone like a fly around S***, She started watching around the scene where charlie is looking over to Dandridge house at the hooker, she started enjoying it more then.As we watched more i felt like a kid, the music the tension between Dandridge and Amy and most importantly evil ed, only problem watching this film now was his death scene, my god just die already, the effects are good for the time but come on just die.The film finished and i asked if she enjoyed it, she replied "it was okay", gutted i was never mind you cant please everyone, i hope you enjoy the film, a pinnacle of my childhood.

MonsterVision99 Fright Night its a tribute to the classic vampire films, but set in the 80s, its a fun vampire film and probably one of the first films that introduced vampires to a new generation.The characters are the same clichés, the kid who knows something bad its going on, but nobody believes him, his girlfriend its the one that's trying to talk sense into him, the comedy relief, the old man who helps our young heroes and the evil vampire.The film its fairly tamed for the most part, but in the end it becomes a special effect wonder, there are transformations, people melting, impalings and more.The film its really fun for what it is, a fun 80s horror film, the film delivers on every aspect, its a must for every horror fan.

Rainey Dawn I forgotten just how cute this one is until I watch it again recently - it's had been years since I've seen it and it's nice to watch again!The film is exactly what it says it is: a teenager finds out his neighbor is a vampire! And of course no one believes him but he finally convinces his friends and TV personality, Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowell), to help him kill the vampire before it hurts more people.A very simple but very much a fun story to watch!! It reminds me of a vampire version of the werewolf film "Silver Bullet" in a roundabout way - you know the teen kid hero out to get the creature and no one believes them at first but finally convinces friends and an adult to help with it crusade. LOL Fun stuff! 8/10

Alyssa Black (Aly200) What would you do if your neighbor was a vampire? Naturally you would think you are crazy, but if it was true then it's your problem. This is the situation protagonist Charley Brewster finds himself in when his suspicions about his new neighbor, Jerry Dandridge, turns out to an actual bloodsucker. In the lead role of Charley is a pretty neurotic William Ragsdale who is relatively convincing as a teenager. You feel bad for him as Charley goes through normal teenage drama with a pesky friend who belittles him constantly, relationship issues with his girlfriend and a distant relationship with his single mother. When his suspicions are laughed at, we feel that maybe Charley is being ridiculous until he is confronted by Jerry and we know the vampire accusation is no joke. As the film's vampire we are treated to an equally charming and sinister performance by Chris Sarandon. He oozes charm when Jerry is formally introduced to the main character and us, the viewers, after Charley has made his accusation to his friends and mother. Sarandon ups his ante when Jerry threatens Charley to stay silent that we the viewers are as terrified as Charley is. There are various scenes throughout the film that make us both fear Jerry, but are also seduced by his sex appeal. Yet we cheer for the vampire to meet his maker in the end like a traditional horror fan.The film's score lends the atmosphere a creepy vibe as the viewer feels stalked by an unseen presence, our hearts feel adrenaline rush during a tense scene or we are drawn into an odd sense of contentment. The makeup effects are put to good limited use to make the film's vampires look unappealing. They are not attractive creatures in their true form, but rather hideous creatures of the night. With piercing glowing yellow eyes (contacts worn by the actors), sharp yellowing fangs, monstrous facial expressions and the shape-shifting ability to transform into a bat. We are repulsed by these undead beings when their real selves are shown to us.The film is not completely, but is a fun horror flick for Halloween or anytime you need a good scare.
