This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not the only film of 1985 to feature someone who collects a lot of clocks and puts them on walls. Doc Brown did the same in Back to the Future (1985).… Expand

Fright Night is a hilarious spooky horror classic. The actors, dialogue and special effects are perfect. This movie was ahead of its era.

I love movies of all genres, and Fright Night was an example of a movie that I watched many times as a 14 year old and loved every minute of it. At 19 I revisited it once hearing of its remake, and it is every bit as good as I remembered, inI love movies of all genres, and Fright Night was an example of a movie that I watched many times as a 14 year old and loved every minute of it. At 19 I revisited it once hearing of its remake, and it is every bit as good as I remembered, in fact it is one fangtastic(pardon the pun) movie. The film still looks great, with atmospheric costumes(great authentic fashions!), sets and lighting with skilled cinematography, cool make-up and impressive(even for now) effects. The score gives its film its perfect sense of quirkiness and creepiness. The story is straightforward admittedly, but also very well paced and compelling, and the script has the odd scary moment but is very wickedly funny. The acting is great, William Ragsdale and Amanda Bearse appeal, and Roddy McDowell is magnificent but it is Chris Sarandon's funny, creepy and very sexy performance that makes Fright Night such a delight. All in all, a true delight. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

A very goofy start. Stay with it, because it pays off hugely in the end. The ending is famous for how intense it was (in the 1980's).

As a vampire movie, it meets halfway because it takes its time to build momentum, which arrives just in the second hour, with levels of suspense and horror that are well justified and that's it. From becoming a classic of the 80s, it is very remote.
