Movie Reviews of Fright Night

Movie Review: AWESOME 80's HORROR FILM
Summary: 5 Stars

I don't write very many reviews but I feel I have to write one for this movie as it holds a very special place in my heart. I saw this when it first came out and went back to see it 2 more times!!! Since then I cannot count how many times I have watched this wondeful movie! If you like horror movies and not just blatant gore than this is for you! Every actor is fabulous. The special effects are STELLAR and it is just a damned great story too! This takes me back to very special time in my life when I was the same age as Charlie, the lead character. I adore this film and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! Not much has topped the absolutely horrifying andgruesome makeup on Amanda Bearse towards the end of the movie and I doubt anything ever will.

Movie Review: Fright Night
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoyed this movie when it first came out and was pleased to purchase it in dvd format as my vhs had worn out. This is a classic for any horror movie fan. Chris Sarandon is great as the vampire and Roddy McDowall is perfect as Victor Vincent the great vampire slayer. I also liked Brewsters little buddy Evil Ed who starts out helping Charlie with ways to kill the vampire but eventually becomes a member of the undead portraying a very good werewolf type creature. We watch it every year on Halloween and basically anytime I want to see a well made horror flick. So set back, turn out the lights and beware of a sinister pair of red eyes that may be watching you from your window. You'll see at the end of the movie. Nuff said.

Movie Review: Horror at its finest-
Summary: 5 Stars

This is by far the best vampire movie I've ever seen with the best cast ever assembled for a li'l horror movie that's for sure! I've read the reviews below about how great Sarandon and McDowall were, and believe me they were, but the best was William Ragsdale. As teenager Charlie Brewster, he conveyed a realistic teenager who has no idea what to do about his 'different' neighbors. He took this from a scared, curious boy at the beginning of the flick, to the headstrong man that helped rid his town of demons. Give the guy some credit, he held his own against McDowall and Sarandon. So buy this if you can afford it, it's a classic and it has held up over time. Welcome to Fright Night-

Movie Review: One of those classic vampire flicks - 80's style
Summary: 5 Stars

Yeah, it's cheesy in some places, campy in others, but, in all, it's a movie you find yourself enjoying more every time you watch it.

And I thought I was the only one who thought Chris Sarandon was extra hot here. If vampires look like him, I'm a willing victim! :-) (Tom Cruise, eat your heart out!)

Other reviews give a detailed analysis of the plot so no need to rehash it here. If you're looking for a good and enjoyable vampire flick 1980's style (complete with the spiky hair and cheesy club music), this is the movie for you.

I just can't believe it's been nearly 20 years since the film's release. But, even after all that time, it's still got it.

Movie Review: what a treat
Summary: 5 Stars

I must have viewed this movie 2 dozen times and every time it is a treat. Will Ragsdale probably leaves something to be desired but Roddy Mcdowall as Peter Vincent steal the show anyway. This movie does an excellent job of satirizing the vampire genre while at the same time respecting itself and traditional vampire lore. This mix keeps it from taking itself to seriously and makes this a fun mvie to watch again and again. The sequel directed by Tommy Lee Wallace (director of Halloween 3)instead of Tom Holland is second rat in comparison but still do yourself a favor and grab them as a two pack. This would be a great franchise for a remake if appropriate cast could be found.
