Fright Night 2: New Blood (2013)

This is one scary movie AHHHHHHHHHHHH!. If does not scary you no movie will. Fright (1985) is better. Fright II (1988) is also better. Fright (2011) is also better. This not a sequel. It is a remake. Is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. If it does not scary you no movie will. It is very scary. AHHHHHHHH! It is scarier then The Exorcist. That is not easy to do. It is a very scary movie. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. It is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. It will scary you. It is a very scary movie. It will scary you.

Watched this on Crackle. I'd never heard of this recent Fright Night part II. I saw the originals when they were released part one and two and loved them both. The remake was- ehh... and after reading reviews for this sequel- not a sequel I still gave it a chance. It could have worked. It might have worked. But it didn't. I love Jaime Murray and she did a good job here but I have to say the overall failure lands in Charley Brewster's lap. Charley played by Will Payne was simply unlikable. Was it the Director's fault? You can't have a lead you don't care for. Seemed like all he did was frown- not that that is a bad thing if done right. But I couldn't have cared less about him in this story line, sad to say. Giving 'Evil' a pass as he fared fairly well considering the material and he wasn't the lead character. I was hesitant to give this a try and unfortunately I did. I have no problem with remaking a good story if you can actually pull it off. Didn't work here. But they did try, I give them that. Clear crisp footage. Wish the rest were there.

s far as I can tell,this movie is a re-imagining of the original Fright Night(1985).it's not a remake Per SE,but it does pay homage to the original. some of the characters have the same names as in the original(with different actors) and there are also some new characters.i like how they took some of the original characters and went in a new direction with them.this film ignores the the sequel,Fright Night part 2,which came out in 1988.i rather enjoyed it.it currently has a rating of 4.3/10 on this site,and while I don't think it's a masterpiece,i would rate it higher than that.i thought it was entertaining and well acted.i liked the music as well.for me,Fright Night 2(2013) is a 5.6/10.

Okay... Pardon my French... but WTF is this? What we have here is an indescribably bizarre production... It takes NO account of the events of the first Fright Night film which came out two years earlier (Despite it being classified as a sequel) and is in itself, a virtual remake of the ORIGINAL 1985 Fright Night... Which was rebooted in 2011!! Didya get all that?! If you did, gold star for you... If not, don't worry, because you could get all the top scientists and academics in the world into a little room... And they STILL couldn't come up with any idea as to why this film should exist.What they've done is take some of the best characters ever found in a comedy/horror, stripped them of all personality so much so that even calling them generic would be a kindness, removed all the tongue-in-cheek laughs that made the 80's Fright Night so funny, and added non-stop brainless gore. Oh, and the fantastic Jerry Dandridge (The Big Bad from the original) has had a sex change... she's now known as Gerri. This adds nothing of consequence to the plot...Apart from adding in lots of NEARLY nude scenes where we get to see ALL of Jaime Murray's breasts... apart from the nipple. The attention to detail to avoid the unveiling of said teat is astounding for sure... If it isn't her long hair covering it up, it's a background item. She must have had a clause in her contract... show me tits, you pay an extra million. Shame they didn't shower that kind of attention on the rest of this sorry production.Peter Vincent is now a charmless fake paranormal investigator instead of a lovable old ham film actor, and love interest Amy is a nagging annoyance rather than a supportive girlfriend. Our 'hero' Charlie Brewster has lost most of his brain cells in transition, and now makes mistakes left,right and centre that put everyone in jeopardy. Only Evil Ed seems to retain SOME of his manic persona, but his jokes aren't half as funny this time around, and when he gets staked as a vampire, what was a very moving moment in the 80's Fright Night is mishandled by epic proportions.Entire segments of that film seem to have been ripped out and given a 'modern' direct-to-video rewrite... Which in other words means, they screw them up royally. They remove all subtlety and intelligence, and replace it with hokey dialogue, predictable last minute escapes and buckets upon buckets of blood. It's tedious, mind-grating and not rewarding in the slightest, particularly if you're like me and have witnessed the wonder that is the original.If you want to make a crappy horror flick, that's GREAT... But please don't steal the script and characters from a classic, and urinate all over them from a great height with your nonsense. Special mention to the mawkish, cheesy, sick-inducing ending which made me scream at my TV like a crazy man. They were SERIOUS with that scene? There was no IRONY behind that nauseous spectacle at all? No last minute JUMP like you get from so many others of this genre? Nope. I suppose in a way though, it DOES wrap up nicely what has been a complete pile of... manure from start to finish. Well done for consistency, at least. But nothing else. Now, get ye gone thou Spawn Of Satan disguised as a DVD, lest I smite ye through your case with my patented stake. GO!!! 3/10
