Fright Night - 3/10
I watched this a couple of nights ago with low expectations as remakes, particularly ones that rehash a sentimentally cherished movie from your youth, almost always break what doesn't need fixed, and I wasn't disappointed. The characters don't develop, thus the palpable antipathy between Jerry and Brewster never builds (like it did in the original), nor the ensuing tension and I ultimately felt no attachment to the goodies. There was nothing new here, just a bad contemporaneous retelling - SHITE!
