So uh, I don't know how I feel about this. The original Fright Night is a masterwork of cheesy 80s horror, I am having a really hard time reconciling it with Chekov and McLovin vs. Colin Farrell.


ALSO WHERE THE HELL IS PETER VINCENT?


If you guys haven't seen the original Fright Night then WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU it stars Chris Sarandon, Roddy McDowell and the dude from Herman's Head go rent it now


I'll wait.

    The original Fright Night is excellent. This is going to be another terrible remake most likely.

    David Tennant is playing Peter Vincent and he is in this trailer for literally two frames

    Apparently the Peter Vincent character is still in the movie but he wears leather pants and looks like Criss Angel and is played by the Dr. Who guy.


    UGH

    He could play the dude from MTV's The Head if they ever made a live action version.

    I ain't opposed to the idea of a remake cause the premise is so much fun and an updated version could be cool.


    But it dosen't work without an awesome Peter Vincent

    Look Bale all I'm saying is that David Tennant shouldn't really be a reason to go UGH at something

    That said this one will almost certainly suck, but let's be honest because the original one was kinda dumb anyway

    If we're being honest I should point out the original is awesome


    It is like the pinnacle of cheesy 80's horror, along with Lost Boys

    I can't dig on Lost Boys either

    They suffer from what I call Goonies Syndrome

    What the hell? How could you possibly think Lost Boys is terrible? I don't want to live in a world where people think Lost Boys is terrible.

    This movie looks fun

    Maybe not AS fun as the original

    But definitely worth a rental

    It's actually when you go for years with everyone telling you a movie is the best thing ever and then you actually watch it and realize they must have been watching it through the old nostalgia filter because it kinda sucks

    I'm a fan of this director so I will remain optimistic.

    Plus, I've been liking Colin Farrell's film choices as of late

    I spent years of my childhood terrified of this movie just because of its cover.

    Terrified. I had no idea it was campy horror. That poster just... brr.
