Review of Fright Night (2011) by Joseph%20 M — 20 Dec 2018

This is a remake of the older 80s film and should stand as proof that no matter what star cast you have and how technology has developed so much to aid the filmmaker, it is always a wise decision to never tinker with the original.

If for no other reason then basic psychology says that people will always, no matter what, compare the film to the original and chances are high they will always prefer the original. This Fright Night; the remake seems like a lazy cash grab with the 3-D acting as grotesque and gaudy ornamentation.

Any special qualities one could ascribe to the 1985 movie have been lost in translation.
