Fright Night: 2011

Set in a lovely suburban area of Las Vegas, the film introduces us to Charley Brewster, a nerdy but charismatic teenager who we find out has given up his relationship with his friend "Evil" Ed to be with the cooler kids, including his new girlfriend Amy. Then he meets Jerry Dandrige, a buff, sweet new neighbor that Charley's mother and Amy take a liking to. When Ed tries to warn Charley of Jerry's hidden, and gruesome, intentions, things take a turn for the worse. More people wind up missing, and it becomes evident to Charley that Jerry is a vampire. Nobody believes him before it's too late, and it's up to him and Hard Rock celebrity Peter Vincent to kill this sucker (Yes that's a pun ;)) once and for all.


The film has a fantastic cast of well-known actors. Anton Yelchin, as always, does a great job and fits the role of Charley perfectly. Toni Collette stands out as Charley's mother, and Imogen Poots is terrific as Amy. Unlike other horror blonds Amy was smart, and at times brave enough to try to take down Jerry herself. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is great for the role of "Evil" Ed, and he was born to play that role I couldn't imagine anyway else doing a better job. He gets some pretty funny lines and an enjoyable amount of screen time. David Tennant, known as being Britians male sweetheart after staring in Doctor Who was hilarious as celebrity vampire hunter Peter Vincent. I was pleasantly surprised.


I first watched this film over a year ago with my bestfriend and her mother one lazy afternoon and we all loved the film, re-visiting it now I found it to still be brilliant and would most definatley watch it again. The film was not very scary, more of a comedy horror than anything but an excellent film with interesting editing techniques and cinematography.
