One of the most memorable horror movies of the 1980s is getting a 2011 update with the release of this summer's 'Fright Night.'
'Fright Night' is just your average story of a typical suburban kid who meets his new next-door neighbor, quickly suspects that said neighbor is actually a blood-sucking vampire, has his fears confirmed when his life is put in danger, watches his mother get put under a hypnotic vampire's spell, must team with a Vegas stage-show magician to slay the undead threat, and somehow save the day. You know, typical teenage angst.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I liked some of what was said in the other article/interview I posted but I'm of the opinion they should have left well enough alone on this one. I'm going to see this movie for sure, there's no question about i - but sadly I have very low expectations.
Chris Sarandon played the part of Jerry Dandrige so well I just can't see anyone else doing it. Anton is a decent casting choice but I'm not feeling the Christopher Mintz-Plasse as "Evil Ed". Maybe they'll change my mind with a trailer which I hope to see sooner than later.
So...how bad am I going to be persecuted when I say I haven't seen the original? lol
I might have to check out the original with all I keep hearing about it now that this remake is being done.
Though, I gotta say, it sounds like it's in the same vein as Lost Boys and that wouldn't be good. As a kid The Lost Boys was kind of amusing. But going back and watching it, it's just flat-out stupid.
