Fright Night directed by Craig Gillespie stars Colin (omg you're too hott for words) Farrell, Anton Yelchin, David Tennant, Imogen Poots and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. This is a remake with the same snarky humor as the original mixed with a bunch of genuine scares. Thriller for sure! A definite improvement on the original premise by far, giving audiences a nice revamp (like how I added vamp there) with a very modern twist.
Plot:
Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all-he's running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right-and everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. medy-horror classic.First off let's chat a little about man candy Colin as a dark and shifty vamp, absolutely delicious in his acting role throughout the film. Those eyes hooked me from the get-go; pile on his macho-male confident yet restrained portrayal and you have yourself one fine specimen. Yeow! Finger licking good, ladies and gents. I'm in love with this man yes, but I'm giving this an honest review folks. (But please undead gods give me just one night with this man!) Why Colin has not taken more sexy roles like this one is beyond me, he truly made the film what it is: pure entertainment.
Moving on, overall what you have here is a well thought out script with a good flow of storyline mixed in with action. Any movie that can mention Farscape AND Twilight will no doubt get high marks from this nerd girl. It's how I roll people. ;) For those that love a good scare you'll jump out of your seats a few times and get a good laugh the next moment. Solid story, excellent music score, well shot and wonderfully directed all give further appeal for the movie goer. A banging soundtrack will have you bobbing your head till the final end credits roll on screen.
It was a tad hokey at the end, but really what more were you expecting from a thriller? This movie won't be saving lives with its message so if you're looking for something that's a bit more earth-shattering I recommend you check out something else. It's a vampire movie that sucks, but in just the right way. :)
Getting 4 ready for the taking by Colin Sheep.
