ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Senior Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all—he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right— yet no one, including Charley’s mom (Toni Collette), seems to notice! After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charley comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he’s telling the truth, Charley has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

DreamWorks Pictures’ “Fright Night” is produced by Michael De Luca and Alison Rosenzweig, with screenplay written by Marti Noxon from a story by Tom Holland, based on the film “Fright Night,” written by Tom Holland. “Fright Night” opens in theaters on August 19, 2011.

This movie doesn't look bad but it is nothing like the original movie. I like Colin Farrell tho he is a good actor so maybe he will surprise us.

Many truths as yet largely not glimpsed:

If this remake has Come to Me in the soundtrack, or a new version of it, it'll be worth a look.

Looks kind of campy.

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened to David Tennant. Did they completely edit him out of the movie? Judging solely by the trailer, it's nothing special, but I'll probably see it anyways.

I agree with you ClarkKent1985, This remake is total BS and I for one will not waste money on this mockery of a classic!!! McLovin playing Evil Ed is one thing but making him out to be the one to point out that Charlie's neibor is a vampire is just wrong and stupid. They didn't need to change that part of the story and as for the major change to Peter Vincent...Total and complete SHIT!!!! This garbage makes no sense. Hollywood is dead and has lost all integrity and creativity! They're killing there own industry. The greed of it all sickins me to the core.
