I can see now, the head teachers of walking video stores and comb the aisles looking for something to rebuild without a care in the world. It's a safe bet for re-imagine something that has happened before, because if you do not gel, which is one, having worked before and they can push the blame elsewhere. God forbid that someone is at stake in an original screenplay, compared to the fear of losing his job comfortable. Brother not get me wrong, I am not an enemy when it comes to repeat history. The first wave of remakes as The Thing and The Fly, for more creative outlets for bankruptcy, as Dawn of the Dead and the ring - all I want is a good movie, and these four values delivered. As a singer did a cover of a song - the second time can be a piece of good company, and in some cases it may be better.
I knew it was a matter of time before I loved Fright Night would be violated by the suits in Hollywood. If Psycho is The Haunting, and Friday 13 to be told - why not Fright Night? Bad example: I know. But that's the point. Some films are stuck in another era and magic in a bottle and it should be left alone. I do not speak of Aqua Net, bad clothes and cheesy music. The film industry has changed for the worse, and here's why. Pop culture and media whores have destroyed much of the enjoyment of cinema. The hook is pandering to the young trendy people by showing them what they are familiar with the TV (The Real Housewives of New Jersey) and an unfunny douchebag who was in a hit comedy (Superbad). This film is designed for parents who leave their daughters at the mall.
Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) is struggling for the next of his neighbor, who happens to be a vampire. Jerry Dandridge (Colin Farrell) is his name, and is unscary and looking like a 40 year old Robert Pattinson is a version of the game. Students in a small town on the outskirts of Las Vegas missing and best friend Charley - Evil Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) - Figures to watch the news that a vampire sucking their way in Sin City. When Ed turned to one of the undead, will visit the throne of the Master Magician and the expert bloodsucker, Peter Vincent (David Tennant), I would call a cross between Criss Angel and Russell Brand, will help to destroy and Dandridge save his girlfriend Amy (Imogen Poots) before dawn.
Fright Night 1985, so just see everything. For every nut terror that grew in the film, we had Charley Brewster. He spent his nights watching horror movies in the early hours of the morning. The school was hard and the dating was a headache inducing, but looking at various monsters and beasts did everything right with the world. This made us happy, and for the day - all that remains. The script was an homage to Rear Window and The Boy Who Cried Wolf with a dose of this planet 80? S free spirit. Fright Night in 3D as unnecessary after the 3D conversion is so fast that you forget to tell any story. It is an absolute zero character development board as the actors just go through the motion and it hurts. The neighborhood feels like a relic of all the stepfather, a real home instead of a block of reality. Roddy McDowell was the backbone of the original and plays like a father figure to Charley.
Now it's just a drinking womanizer who come to the rescue and is just an afterthought. Chris Sarandon made an appearance, but suffers a bit of CG-jugular vein opposite Colin Farrell (who is solo, no Billy Cole) and are spared the misery that I could not leave.
Not Tom Holland. Not William Ragsdale. Amanda Bearse. Not Roddy McDowell. Not Stephen Geoffreys. Not Jonathan Stark. Dorothy Fielding. Not Art Evans. Steve Johnson does not. Not by Richard Edlund. Heartless. Not a soul. No thanks. It would be better to buy Black & Decker enema: really.
