Fright Night Reviews
its got Sam Ritter who is a um...
...gay porn star. That's right, the actor who played evil ed, steve geoffreys has this pseudoynm Sam Ritter who did gay porn througout the 90's. In fact, this movie also contains lesbian Amanda Bearse and Roddy McDowall who, I guess is also gay. This movie even contains a homosexual or at the very least bisexual reference to the vampire and his assistant. But to me, thats what makes this movie so notable. A lot of speculation exist that makes a pretty reasonable connection between the considerable flamboyance of horror and homosexuality. This movie is cool because instead of denying that, it embraces it and actually creates a pretty cool atmosphere from it.
An 80's horror/comedy.
Fright Night is an enjoyable horror. Its fast paced simple story keeps you watching as to how a young teenager tackles the fact that a vampire has moved in next door to him. Fright Night is a very predictable 80's horror flick with bubbly performances from its teenager stars and the over exaggerated acting from its adult leads. Don't get me wrong, the acting IS acceptable for this type of film and works well. Keeping to the theme of the film, strange things start to happen (for example): a coffin is seen brought into the house next door, a mysterious man is seen with a woman and a body in a bag is seen dragged out of the house. Of coarse this all leads up to one thing, that there is a vampire living in the next house and the frightened tenager tries to warn everybody before the vampire kills again. It not surprising what happens next, as the vampire visits and fights back (but for some strange reason) with comedic effect.
Fright Night does have a lot of ridiculous but humerous moments with 80's style make up and special effects. The special effects however, are quite good and impressive for its time. Eventhough this film is very enjoyable and a good Halloween flick, it does have a couple of flaws. One is that the story is very simple and dreary, while the second is that some parts of the film could have been done better.
Overall, Fright Night is a forgetable film but it is very entertaining and fun to watch. Its a film I would give 3 1/2 stars if I could. So I gave it 3, as it will take me a while to watch again.
