Summary: The Best Horror Flick
Review: I agree with everyone's assessment of Fright Night. It is,by far, the best vampire movie of all time....it's funny, yet serious and spooky. And isn't overly gory and it doesn't exaggerate on killings. It gives you just enough to satisfy your vampire tastes. And what makes it even more great is that it is a very open-ended movie, by that I mean that although we are shown that Jerry is a vampire, we see his fangs, we see him turn into a bat etc., it is not necessarily set in stone.....could it just be Charley's overactive imagination? And for that matter, Peter Vincent's imagination as well, as he has just ben fired from his long time job and perhaps needs something to make his dull life interesting? The plot is very unique,and it's up to the viewer to decide. And the dance club scene is the stuff of legend.....it simply rocks.Anyone who hasn't yet seen this movie has surely been deprived of top notch entertainment. So if u are tryng to decide whether or not to buy this movie, it's very simple: Buy it!! It should be part of everyone's video library!!

Summary: Campy but COOL!
Review: I remember seeing Fright Night in a theatre back in the 80s when it was first released. It was scary and funny back then and still is. Fright Night is a great combination horror/comedy flick that has withstood the test of time.

Also, I love the cinematogaphy and setting of Fright Night. Very original and haunting!

Check your brain and ego at the door, sit back and enjoy this gem!

Summary: Ah..the 80s horror-comedy and Chris Sarandon is the BEST.
Review: Like a lot of others who have posted a review, I first saw this film when I was kid. I've seen it probably about 70 times since. It's one of those great films that makes you laugh, your skin crawl and screams to have the lines recited along with it.

Another thing, IMHO, Chris Sarandon's vampire - Jerry Dandridge - has got to be the most sexy, sensual, menacing one in the history of film. From 'Nosferatu' all the way to Omar Epps, Sarandon is *still* my favorite vampire in cinema and that is saying a lot!

The writer/director Tom Holland also wrote one of the most unintentionally hilarious films, "Scream for Help". It's so cheesy-bad it hurts!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Pretty Midless................even for horror - Comedy
Review: I love horror movies. I love black Comady, but "Fight Night" had very annoying character's in it. Their's a big difference between funny and annyoing, but not the case of "Fright Night". The Vampire in "Fright Night" is [bad] when he trys to be funny and very laughable when he trys be scary. I am suprised on how much of a hit "Fight Night" actully became.I still suggest you rent this before you buy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hitchcock With Fangs
Review: Alfred Hitchcock didn't die of old age - he shuffled off this mortal coil because the movies went to the teenagers. But if he'd lived, and ever delved into the supernatural, he might easily have made this movie.

Average high school kid Charlie has a debonair new neighbor, Mr. Dandridge, who seems to entertain a different knockout girl every night. Problem is, after they've been to Dandridge's house, the next place they're seen is on the evening news - dead. As if that isn't bad enough, Charlie's seen fangs in Dandridge's smile, and Dandridge only comes out at night. Who can Charlie get to believe him? His mother, friends, and the local police think he's seen too many vampire movies. But Dandridge knows what Charlie's seen. And he's not about to let him go on talking about it.

This is a great cat-and-mouse thriller, that just happens to be about a vampire instead of a mere serial killer. The script is clever, the performances good. Chris Sarandon is charming and menacing, in equal measure, as Dandridge. Roddy McDowall gets to play cowardly hero as the first person Charlie gets to believe him - a late-night horror movie host/has-been actor, who sets out to cure Charlie of his "delusion" and instead meets the devil next door. A pre-Married With Children adorable Amanda Bearse plays Charlie's girlfriend.

The effects are quite good, as are the atmosphere and musical score. The film's only drawback is that it is sometimes directed with a heavy hand, and spends too much time on the juvenilia of Charlie and his friends - though the latter works to good effect, in the sense that it makes them very believable high schoolers, hardly up to facing the menace of an experienced and supernaturally powerful killer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spooky, Very Spooky
Review: Pretty gross movie, when a pencil stabbed through each vampire who we figured out that was really a werewolf. Jerry Damage bit Evil, then fooled Peter Benson, the vampire killer, that there was a vampire out of Mr. Benson's room, but HE was the vampire, and what the great-vampire killer did was, he burned a cross on Evil's fourhead, then an X appeared. But when Evil turned into a werewolf, he didn't get killed with a silver bullet like most werewolves, but fell down the stairs with a pencil in the middel of him, then Charlie's girlfriend, Amy, turns into a vampire and falls in love with Damage!
Watch when Benson and Charlie break the curse of Fright Night!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Welcome To Fright Night!
Review: This gem of a horror film is a true modern-day vampire classic. Chris Sarandon plays the vampire with a lot of enthusiasm. He can be sexy & seductive, while at the same time, monstrously frightening. Roddy McDowell gave one of his finest performances. Kudos to William Ragsdale & the very pretty Amanda Bearse for giving believable performances of two lovestruck teenagers who are involved with the charismatic, yet monstrous vampire. Some comedy elements were added to this film which made this film very enjoyable to watch.

All in all, FRIGHT NIGHT is a must-have for all horror film fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FRIGHT NIGHT
Review: FRIGHT NIGHT is a halarious horror movie about a teenager named Charlie Brewster, who discovers that his new next-door neighbor is a bloodsucking vampire. In order to stop the vampire from drinking the blood of everyone in town, Charlie enlists the help of Peter Vincent, an actor who has played a vampire killer in many horror films. This is, without a doubt, one of the best horror movies out there!
