4 star rating THE Screened Review by Matt Rorie

"Remake" doesn't have to be a dirty word, as this surprisingly well-done vampire flick aims to prove.

GB review user review
Craig Gillespie director previously directed Lars and the Real Girl

Remake of the 1985 comedy-horror about a teenager who discovers his neighbor is a vampire and must kill him before he kills himself, his mother and his girlfriend.
Trivia:

Chris Sarandon, who played Jerry Danridge in the original Fright Night, makes a cameo appearance as an unsuspecting driver who falls victim to Colin Farrell's Jerry.

Reference: Fright Night

There are a couple bits of dialogue that are direct nods to the original, most of the plot unfolds in the same way.
