He's dangerously charming - and utterly lethal. That's because he just happens to be a vampire, and out for blood... buckets of it. After high school senior Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) makes the connection between Jerry's suspicious activity and a steadily rising body count, he vows to end the reign of terror next door. But he can't do it alone. His only hope is Las Vegas magician/vampire-slayer Peter Vincent (David Tennant). Together, this unlikely duo set out to end Jerry's evil rampage. But Jerry is a ruthless, relentless killer, and he's not going down without a fight. Get set to sink your teeth into this thrilling re-vamp of the terrifying horror classic. Featuring a star-studded cast and crawling with bonus, FRIGHT NIGHT will captivate you from the very first bite! desertcart.com Arriving amid a flurry of dopey sequels and dudes with power tools, 1985's Fright Night came as a welcome blast of fetid air for the horror genre: an affectionate spoof of classic monster movies that also managed to deliver some genuine scares, as well as a pair of top-notch performances by Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall. The 2011 revamp (apologies for the pun) can't boast the same novelty factor, but it does a surprisingly good job at speaking for itself, just the same. Director Craig Gillespie's film follows the same basic blueprint as the original--high-school kid (Anton Yelchin) suspects that his next-door neighbor (Colin Farrell) may be a Creature of the Night, enlists celebrity (David Tennant) for help--but with a number of smart alterations, particularly the decision to move the setting to the desolate outskirts of Vegas, where unexplained disappearances and nocturnal lifestyles are par for the course. (Kudos to cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe, who gives the nighttime scenes a musty, tangible vibe.) Writer Marti Noxon, a Buffy vet, keeps the dialogue light, while also delivering some sharp insights about the state of today's Twilight-savvy teen. (In perhaps the biggest switch from the original, the barely veiled gay subtext has been replaced with a cautionary tale about outgrowing your friends.) On the debit side, Gillespie and Co. can't always replicate their source material's atomic-clock timing, with a few promising scares undone by miscued comic relief. Still, a horror movie ultimately lives or dies by its villain, and Farrell delivers a beaut, as a hilariously type-A vampire who'd rather chug a beer than pose languorously. At a time when the undead are notable mainly for their romanticism and supernatural hair-care prowess, Fright Night does its best to bring the fangs back into the equation. --Andrew Wright Review: A superlative film... witty, intelligent and effortless charming - I loved the original Fright Night (1985) and owned it for years. Saw it for the first time in the early nineties. I wound up inadvertently giving the DVD away not that long ago, but it definitely held up over the years. I also found it scary as hell, Chris Sarandon was effortlessly sexy, and I really liked Charley, Amy, Evil Ed and even Charley's mom (played by the oft neglected Dorothy Fielding). The nightclub scene is classic. Now, on to the remake. I was really excited about seeing it because I loved the original story so much. Tom Holland is one of my favorite screenwriters and I always keep an eye out for anything of his. And I ended up loving the remake. I've gone back 5 times to see it in theaters, and I've never done that before in my life. There are some spoilers in the remainder of my review, so please don't read further if you haven't yet seen this film... ____________________________________________________________________________________________ I find this Fright Night incredibly funny and also scary at the same time. Maybe I scare easily, but so many scenes had me at the edge of my seat, starting with the beginning when Evil Ed visits Adam's house and we see Jerry lurking outside the door. The subsequent chase and Jerry turning Ed into a vampire scared the crap out of me. As did so many scenes thereafter - Charley's rescue of Doris, their escape from Jerry's house, the car chase scene (this one had me at the edge of my seat, clutching my friend who had gone with me to see it the 1st time!) - and I loved Chris Sarandon's cameo. That was awesome - one Jerry sinking his fangs into his predecessor. If only William Ragsdale had shown up in some capacity as well - as a disbelieving neighbor or policeman. Ah, well. I thought the scene between Jerry and Charley when Charley isn't inviting Jerry in (and Jerry's realization that Charley is deliberately stonewalling him) was incredible. Both Colin and Anton did a fantastic job. The analogous scene in the original (Jerry being invited in by Charley's mother) was also clever. But I enjoyed this scene more. I really enjoyed the comedic aspects. Colin mixed humor and menace very effectively. I loved the way he paid homage to Chris's Jerry by angrily biting into an apple the first time when Charley goes off to meet Ed at Adam's house, and amusingly biting into an apple a second time when Charley and Doris escape his house. My favorite line: when Charley says "Jerry? That's a TERRIBLE vampire name - JERRY?", Ed counters: "I didn't name him, man. I'm just reporting the FACTS." Christopher Mintz-Plasse delivered that line perfectly. It's a priceless moment. I found Colin Farrell incredibly sexy and I've become a fan of his for life. No one else could've pulled off the role of Jerry the vampire the way he did. He is truly in his element. Perhaps best of all, the entire cast seems to having a riotously good time here. Overall - as a true lover of the original Fright Night (one of my favorite movies ever!) - I loved, loved, loved the remake. Every time I watch it, I discover another subtlety that I didn't catch earlier. I like this version of Fright Night better, but for emotional reasons that I can't fully verbalize. I can't wait for the DVD to come out!

I can't wait for the DVD to come out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by J***E on January 12, 2026* Great movie ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a fun Halloween treat *by B***M on October 24, 2021* I loved the original movie from the 80s, but this one definitely improved on it! The actors were perfectly cast and did fantastic jobs. I'm not saying they couldn't have done a few scenes a smidge better, but overall they were close to perfect. Colin Farrell is perfection as a sinister vampire, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, and Toni Collette couldn't have been better, and David Tennant just stole. The. Show. If for no other reason, watch if you're a David Tennant fan. It's a bit campy at times but I think that was perfectly and purposely done. I was dubious at first that I wouldn't like the changes from the beloved original movie, but this one just about blew it out of the water. Don't try to make it into some award-winning epic, or knock it because it's a change from the original. Just enjoy it for the good-fun romp of a vampire movie it is, and you'll be happy. Bottom line: Fantastic Halloween movie. Good take on the vampire theme. The old movie from the 80s was great for it''s time, but this one is much better now for this time. Lots of cussing when David Tennant shows up, and some scariness may make it not ideal for small children. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fright Night - Fright Night - Fright Night 2: New Blood --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13305139-fright-night](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13305139-fright-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
