Fright Night remake trailer.

Doesn't really do anything for me.

I'll probably catch eventually, bit it looks like a big bag of meh.

I wonder if Jerry the "vampire" has fangs or if his eyebrows do all the eating. -1 for munching on the apple. Manly vampires don't eat fruit.

But fruity vampires eat men. :rimshot:

And that is really, really unfair.

Horror has been a big bag of something worse than meh for a long time.

As for this remake- Farrell is tasty (so, if I may say: this is an area where they could possibly claim superiority over the original) but this just seems like some kind of Cursed / Twilight / Jennifer's Body put in a blender concoction... why not just watch those movies?

Surprisingly this isnt getting completely trashed on RT. :shrug:

Doesn't surprise me at all. Most people I know who have seen it have said it's not bad. The people who generally trash remakes trash them based on the trailer alone.

That and the fact that the teens and twenty somethings that go to the theater have most likely never even heard of the original.

True, but the people who I'm hearing the good things from are fans of the original (which makes it hold more water IMO).

I'm cool with the kids not knowing anything about it. I introduced my nephew to either TCM or DotD (can't remember which) after they saw the remake, and now he's a fan of both.

If it brings new fans to the old one, can't be too bad.

Saw this at Frightfest. Not a fan of the original and this was middle of the road.

Is it comedy/horror like the original?

by **DJBenz** » Thu Sep 01, 2011 10:22 am

Yeah, sort of a mix of both. David Tennant provides most of the comedy. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is in it for a surprisingly short spave of time.

WTF is a spave?
