Comment on Fright Night by BryanBaugh
I watched this earlier this year with my parents, who of course have already seen it, and I really enjoyed it. I kind of don't want to see the remake because the original was so good.
I don't blame you. I have not seen the "Fright Night" remake - but the trailer gave me the impression that it totally missed the point of what made the original "Fright Night" so great. The original "Fright Night" was a tribute to the old fashioned style of horror movie. The trailer for the remake looked like a Marilyn Manson video or something. That's not "Fright Night" to me.
The Fright Night remake is quite good and does make fun of today's vampire trend including Twilight
Exactly. As much as I support vampires and vampire movies I still did not think that it looked like an awesome remake. All it did was make me want to watch the original. I liked the kind of hokey feel the original had. It was cool that it was an old fashioned style.
