Before there was TWILIGHT and TRUE BLOOD but after DARK SHADOWS there was Chris Sarandon and Roddy Macdowell in FRIGHT NIGHT. It was low budget and a somewhat satirical take on slasher movies and all things 80s, with it's big hair and shoulder pads. Normally I wouldn't care about a remake of something like this but when I heard COLIN FARRELL, TONI COLLETTE and, and, and DAVID TENNANT I decided it didn't matter what the source material was I wouldn't miss it. It does not disappoint. Now I did look at COLIN FARRELL as Jerry the Vampire, and briefly think he shouldn't even be in this movie, his acting, look everything is of such high caliber. But then why can't he have fun and as far as scary, menacing, terrifying he had me. Although he looked gorgeous in his tight t-shirts and jeans, once he got those fangs out there wasn't anything sexy about him. Anton Yelchin is Charley the teen with the vampire next door and Christopher Mintz-Plasse is former nerd best friend Ed. Imogen Poots (what a name!) is cute as Charley's girlfriend. By the time Charley realizes the Jerry really is a vampire, it's almost too late, until he pays a visit to Peter Vincent a strange Russel Brand/Criss Angel Vegas magician. Tennant loves to walk on the border of camp and here he gets to do things like walk around shirtless in leather pants, like a latter day Mick Jagger except complaining about the crotch problems that those sorts of garments inevitably create. He's hilarious and a injects the film with the appropriate amount of humor when it needs it most. It's more gross than scary and quite funny, I hope it makes more than CONAN.
