Movie Review: Great Horror Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great film and wasn't over done. It is one of those teen 80's vampire flicks, and is very enjoyable no matter how old you are. Buy saying no matter how old you are I don't mean let your kids watch it cause it's not for your kids at all. Chris Sarandon (star of Child's PLay) is great as Charlie. He maked the movie very enjoyable. I was a bit younger when I watched this film. I don't mean like 9 or 10 I was about 23 when this came out and now I'm 42. The special affects are great and the camera tricks are dazzling and great. Lot's of nudity in this vampire flick and this one was way better than it's horrible and depressing sequel. So, just take my word for it, don't go near the sequel. Anyway, the acting in this gets a 5/5 and the plot gets a 5/5. Even by looking at the front cover of this movie you can tell that it is a cool and exicting film. This is the best vampire movie I've seen really, and trust me, I've seen a batch of vampire movies. Let's say this film hits number 1 because of these three reasons, 1. There is tons of gore
2. It isn't fake looking like alot of other vampire movies
3. It has a great and interesting plot
What more do you need to know that this movie is great and well worth your money no matter what the price is. SO go ahead and get this movie, take my word for it, you won't regret it. Not at all.
9/10
Rated R for graphic violence, nudity, coarse language, and some gore.
Movie Review: One of My Favorite Vampire Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Sarandon makes an excellent vampire. As a matter of fact, the whole cast works out great and brings life to the storyline -- that of a high school student, Charlie Brewster, that is convinced that a vampire has moved into the house next-door. A series of screams coming from the house over the next few days, and odd comings and goings fuel his suspicions. These are confirmed while spying on Jerry Dandridge's house with a pair of binoculars. Through Dandridge's bedroom window, he spies his neighbor attempting to bite the neck of a woman -- fangs and claws bared. As Dandridge leans in for the kill, he happens to glance up and notice Charlie watching. From that point on, Charlie's a marked man.
Charlie's friends, "Evil" Ed and girlfriend Amy (Amanda Bierce), attempt to convince him that he's just imagining things by paying a visit to Dandridge's house with the horror show host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowell). Peter Vincent thinks he's going through the motions to dispel Charlie's overactive imagination until, on the way out, he notices Dandridge doesn't cast a reflection.
From there it's a game of cat and mouse that makes for an enjoyable horror movie -- one of my favorites.
It may seem a little dated, being made in 1984, but the special effects still hold up pretty well. The acting's good, the storyline's good, and there are some good scares to be had. What more could you want from a horror movie?
Movie Review: Before there was Buffy...There was Charlie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an older movie but it still is a very entertaining film. It's campy, for sure, and a bit dated now, but the actors did such a fine job you can totally get drawn into the story- and that is really all that matters.No one believes Charlie Brewster when he states that the neighbor is a vampire- and believe me, Charlie, the goofy high school student, has tried everything: telling his friends, his mom, and even the police. Unfortunately, Mr. Dandridge, the vampire, is extremely charming and everyone is so taken with him-even poor Charlie's girlfriend- that they think Charlie needs to stop watching horror films and get a life.
When he manages to get the washed up and cowardly horror film actor who hosts his favorite show ("Fright Night"- the snippets shown of the fictional TV show are hilarious) involved things really start cracking...and it's about time, because Dandridge is intent on winning the popularity contest; he tranforms buddy Evil into his minion, and next on the list is girlfriend Amy. It's up to bumbling Charlie and his Hollywood buddy to save the day...and it's no easy task given that no one under Dandridge's spell wants to be saved...
Given how seductive Chris Sarandon was in this, I wouldn't have wanted to be saved either...In Amy's own words: He's really "NEAT!"
For vampy fun with camp and humor, but with some sophisticated effects, this movie is a good watch.
Movie Review: Meet Jerry Dandridge...
Summary: 5 Stars
He's sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he's th eperfect neighboor. But before inviting Jerry in for a nightcap, there's just one thing you should know,. Jerry Prefers his drinks warm, red-abd straigt from the jugular! It's FRIGHT NIGHT, a horrific howl starring Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic teenager struggling to keep Jerry's deadly fangs out of his neck. Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret. When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent, who used to be the "Great Vampire Killer" of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy from the wrathful bloodsucker's toothy embrace? If you love being scared, FRIGHT NIGHT will give you the nightmare of your life!

Movie Review: "You Have To Have Faith In Order For This To Work!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Sarandon (CHILD'S PLAY), Roddy McDowall (PLANET OF THE APES), William Ragsdale (WALLY AND THE VALENTINES), Amanda Bearse (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), Stephen Geoffreys (976-EVIL), Art J. Evans (I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS), Jonathan Stark (HOUSE 2: THE SECOND STORY) and Dorothy Fielding (GOLDIE AND THE BEARS) star in the Tom Holland classic; FRIGHT NIGHT. The main story line is remiscent of DISTURBIA except it is a vampire instead of a human that is the killer. A high school student named Charley Brewster claims that his new neighbor Jerry Dandridge is a vampire because of the blood shed and screaming happening every night. He does everything until he meets up with the great vampire killer himself; Peter Vincet. Their adventures together are funny and very brave. The movie has average special effects for the 1980s. A lot better of effects than any FRIDAY THE 13TH movie of the early '80s that is for sure. The movie is pretty graphic in some parts of the finale but it is so much fun at the end. That is all I will give you. I know I give short reviews but I only want to say the things I like about a movie or product and some favorite scenes, no major spoilers. See you later. Infinity out of 5 star rating!
