It may not have been necessary to remake the 1985 cult classic, but the new Fright Night benefits from terrific performances by Colin Farrell and David Tennant -- and it's smart, funny, and stylishly gory to boot.

Why is the whole thing so watchable? Farrell is extremely good value. So is Toni Collette as the sex-starved but sensible single mom of high-school hero Charlie. Sep 2, 2011 | Rating: 3/5

While not quite as cheese-filled as its predecessor, the remake maintains the tongue-in-cheek kitsch that made the original work so well. Mar 4, 2019 | Full Review…

All in all it's a wild ride, and while the risks are few, the rewards are plenty. If you're looking for a fun time at the movies, don't wait. Jan 14, 2019 | Full Review…

This movie is a fairly wellwritten and well-acted remake. On the other hand it is pretty standard horror fare. Dec 10, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
