Currently trying to fight off a cold so had to stick to something I knew I'd enjoy.
Fright Night- Quality film. Could easily be dismissed as just another teen horror but its loaded with superb characters and sophisticated script and direction from Tom Holland. Roddy McDowall is superb as Peter Vincent and brings an unbelivable depth to the character and is well supported by the rest of the cast. So much of this movie is delivered with a sly wink, walking the line between Horror and Comedy perfectly. Throw in some 'proper' special effects and you really can't go wrong. Everytime I've finished watching this movie I want to rewind it and watch it again.
Fright Night II- By the numbers sequel which is far from perfect. The vampire slaying duo of Charley Brewster & Peter Vincent return which makes this film worth the watch but it falls short of the standards set by the first film. Still decent value entertainment as Ragsdale and McDowall form a great team.
