Fright Night



A pumped-up remake of the same-named 1984 vampire horror-comedy, director Craig Gillespie's Fright Night (not to be confused with Fight Night) represents a well oiled machine of goosed senses that has no clearly defined motivating purposes, even within the genre confines of its own story. Fun and engaging performances from especially Colin Farrell, David Tennant and Anton Yelchin carry the film a great distance, but it eventually bogs down courtesy of loosely defined stakes and poorly incentivized action. Overall, the story feels beholden to a series of character choices and actions that make no particular sense. For the full, original review, from Screen International, click here.
