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. September 2, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's smart and funny, but (unlike the original) instantly forgettable, and, crucially, not remotely frightening - even with blood and intestines spattering out in 3D. September 1, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A boring revamp, with dull 3D effects, insipid teenage protagonists and only sporadically scary outbursts of neck-biting, crucifix-wielding and staking through the heart. August 31, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

If you want a slick, determinedly mainstream Saturday night's entertainment, Fright Night will certainly provide it - but Craig Gillespie is capable of much odder fodder than this derivative multiplex filler. August 30, 2011

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. January 14, 2019 | Full Review…

This movie is a fairly wellwritten and well-acted remake. On the other hand it is pretty standard horror fare. December 11, 2018 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…
