Review of Fright Night (2011) by Sandrick — 18 Oct 2012
The worst attempt at a reboot that I have ever seen. The casting was decent, but the script is terrible, the settings are terrible, and the cg FX were god-awful. I realize what they were trying to do, updating it for a new generation, but they managed to lose everything that gave the original its charm.
Charlie was supposed to be the one that believed, not Evil Ed... major difference. Tom Holland should be ashamed that he sold out, letting one of his best franchises be turned into this trash. Should have stuck with the original stars and made a Part III where Charlie is a father protecting his kids.
It would have drawn attention to the originals while bringing it to the next gen. Instead we got this terrible terrible movie that we have to try to forget.
