Fright Night (1985)
8/10
Excellent 80's horror/comedy mix
11 February 2010
A movie I nearly forgot about until it became available on demand through my cable provider. Its your typical 80's movie for sure, however it possesses its own unique style. The visual and make up effects are excellent. There plenty of frightening moments in the movie which made me feel uneasy. Chris Sarandon played an excellent vampire. The acting was not top notch by any means but it was somewhat believable and it didn't take you away from the movie. The transformations were excellent which the wolf to teenager transformation was extremely creepy. There were plenty of funny moments along with the right amount of horror. This was a completely fresh movie which was professionally executed. I was quite pleased with watching this at my age and enjoying it quite a bit. Not a bad reaction for an 80's film. Kudos to the director for his story and his vision. This is definitely a movie to watch, however I am going to be adding it to my collection so I don't forget about it again 10 years later.
