Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[ChronoGrl]

Retreat (2011)





Pretty disappointed with this one - The writing was awful; absolutely no subtlety to be found... The characters were unlikable (but I think you were supposed to like/sympathize with them, which made it a problem), and they constantly did (or didn't do) actions that made little sense. Interesting twist at the end; would have appreciated it more if the tension was believable and not silly.

2/5.

"Fright Night" (2011)
-Colin Farrell Anton Yelchin

Plot: IMDB
A remake of the 1985 original, teenager Charley Brewster (Yelchin) guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (Tennant), a self proclaimed vampire killer and Las Vegas magician, to help him take down Jerry.

Phantom's Review: First, let me say, I'm a huge fan of the original. I saw it in the theaters back in the '80's and thought it was one of the most entertaining and original takes on the vampire concept. Full of interesting and likeable characters, fine FX and a great story.
Which brings me to the remake. If your a fan of the original...SKIP THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!
All the characters have been "re-imagined" and are now all thoroughly unlikeable. "Charlie" is now a self absorbed little shit. "Evil" Ed is just an obnoxious lout and worst of all is the "Peter Vincent" character, who is now just a foul mouthed and totally unlikeable figure.
Like so many remakes, this one doesn't hold a candle to the original. What a waste of time..

Did you find parts of the movie painful to watch? As in, the reminder of what it was like in the South back in the 50s and 60s?
