The original Fright Night breathed a bit of knowing humour into the vampire genre, but this is an uninspired retread of the same material from horror sequel specialist Tommy Lee Wallace, the director responsible for the dire Halloween 3. William Ragsdale returns as student Charley Brewster, who uncovers another coven of vampires when he falls for sexy Julie Carmen. Roddy McDowall also reprises his role as fearful vampire slayer Peter Vincent, but he can't breathe life into the worn-out script or Wallace's shapeless direction.

A love story through the passage of time
Comedy/horror.Teenager Charley Brewster is convinced that his neighbour Jerry Dandridge- is a vampire; everyone else thinks he's watching too many late night horror films! The horror and the fright begin - for Charley, after Jerry - meets Aimee, Charley’s 17 yr old girlfriend, who is the exact replica of Jerry’s lost love who died centuries ago - this is a story of love and seduction that spans over the centuries. This film is at cult status, the soundtrack is near impossible to get hold of, once you've watched this you'll be a fright night fan forever.......

Average Blood-sucking fun
Hmmm...bit of a mixed bag is Fright Night, really.
It's not a bad story, and the lead role of the Vampire (played beautifully by Chris Sarandon) is threateningly-seductive in a kind of 80's way.
It's a tad camp in places, but is largely-enjoyable, and great if you've got teenage kids you want to scare!!
If you'd like a nostalgia trip back to the 80's though, and a bit of a giggle, grab the popcorn! -
