Movie Review: "Fright Night"
Sometimes, the original version of a film is just a draft to be completed later, and still is the natural starting point for many viewers is that the first is always the best. In the case of this new version killer "Fright Night", they would be totally wrong.
Director Craig Gillespie style and bitterly funny "Fright Night" new uses as its original 1985-model, but allows its characters and situations more resonance and sparks.

This "Fright Night" takes place in the suburb of Las Vegas, sand-colored expanse of cookie-cutter houses. Brewster, Charlie (Anton Yelchin) is a teenager to live with his divorced mother, Jane (Toni Collette). He did a good clown, a former Dungeons and Dragons geek, who has just become cool enough to attract the beautiful Amy (Imogen Poots) and come out with a higher social class at school.
The immediate problem at school Charlie is that the absenteeism rate is exorbitant. Every day, fewer children are introduced to the class, and Charlie's best friend, Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) suggests that her ex-boyfriend of the victim role is a vampire. Charlie takes off as the ramblings of a vengeful idiot, but the guy who moved next door, Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell) seems to be an owl.
Gillespie's first masterstroke is to overcome a mystery, because there is no doubt that Jerry is a vampire. In addition, Charlie knows he is a vampire, and Jerry knows that Charlie knows. Charlie is to ensure that his mother would never ask the beast in their house at night, and the need to destroy the boy who was very good as the bloodsucking parasite, the last 500 years.
Thanks to Marti Noxon, a television writer responsible for 23 episodes of "Buffy the Vampire cons", and two key contributions "Mad Men", the "Fright Night" script is witty and silly as free as any other vampire movie expect. Includes smart updates. This time, the magician Peter Vincent (David Tennant in "Doctor Who") is a high dollar Vegas charlatan, a combination of Criss Angel and Russell Brand made to drink to keep the nightmares of their own young vampires infected bay.
Farrell is weird to Jerry delivers a tangible threat, and black comedy is a need for such a role. The cast has strong Noxon are lines with spirit and energy, and Gillespie ("Lars and the Real Girl") is a smooth, dark tone that recognizes current vampire pop culture-centric, so that 'he drove a stake through the heart of most.
The "Fright Night" the first live on a different, fun to take on the middle of 1980 horror, but this time, the characters more fleshed out, the manuscript is purer, and the film has bite.
