Fright Night 2011

Fright Night (2011)     This is a remake of a 1985 horror comedy hit.  Jerry is the new neighbor on the block, outwardly he's an amiable guy with a quick smile and a sharp wit.  When students start to be missing from homeroom, Charley finds out that Jerry is a vampire.  His mother is not convinced that any of this can be true, since it's Las Vegas, many people work at night, have dark blinds and sleep during the day. 
     This would be really scary if it weren't so funny, some the things that happen are really crazy.  The special effects are good and Colin Farrell seems like one of the last people you would cast as a vampire.  These vampires are not at all  like Twilight.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

106 min, Horror directed by Graig Gillespie with Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Anton Yelchin, David Tennant, Imogen Poots,  Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Dave Franco, Redi Ewing.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 74% critic 62% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
