Review of Fright Night

Fright Night (2011)
8/10
Compared to the original...
17 August 2011
.. it is pretty different, in a good way. I said "good", not "better". If you're a fan of the original (I know I am), please do yourself a favor and FORGET that this is a remake. I think that it was a huge distraction for me to be aware of the original one because it changes A LOT of key situations and the story arc, and I kept thinking "this won't make sense with what comes next", although it did make sense because at the end, THIS Fright Night is a totally different monster than the 80's one.

Just go to the theaters thinking that this is loosely based on the original and enjoy the ride... it is actually quiet fun this time too.

Cheers!
