U know whats sad The Remake is only 5 years old & it already looks more Dated than the original 80's version

[@mitrooper]

+JayDee284 I just saw the original Fright Night again and immediately after that the....remake... and I was thinking the exact same thing you said.

[@JayDee284]

mitrooper it Helps a lot that the original is mostly focused on its story & characters which helps to keep it timeless the remake try's 2 hard to be Cool with the Kids @ the time & that always makes things Dated in the long run

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

I love reading Fangoria magazine articles with horror makeup artists like Tom Savini. CGI only requires talent with a keyboard. Makeup effects are really where it's at. 80's horror movies have more staying power because of this.

[@wonderwaffle93]

I remember as a kid I never saw Fright Night just DUE to how scary I found the poster to be after seeing it on display at Blockbuster

[@andreabadiali203]

the original was perfect in almost every way.. likeable characters, good plot, good humor, good special effects, best location, great soundtrack and the best vampire movie poster ever.. a masterpiece and absolutely still my fav of that subgenre.. the remake sucked a lot

[@jemofthe80s18]

Agree 1000%, I liked the original the first time I saw it on AMC ten years ago, it's my favorite vampire movie, and Peter Vincent joined the likes of Dr. Loomis, Doc Brown, and Mr. Miyagi for me:) The remake on SyFy...yeah, not so much...at all...

[@zncuentertainment712]

Agreed 100% One of my all time favorites.

[@ariesviolent]

Freddy in the mirror was a nice touch.

Andy, I absolutely loved the original Fright Night. An instant classic!! You have good taste my friend. Evil Ed was also the bomb in the original.

[@davidimrie7297]

Fright Night is not it though. Where are the original ideas to create more stories for the audience to fall in love with. The last film I truly enjoyed was The Town by Ben Affleck. It was a reminder of my other favorite film Michael Mann's Heat

[@gothadelic9396]

He was a great replacement for William Ragsdale. Just like him playing Kyle Reese for the lackluster “Terminator Salvation”

Man going through your library and I'm missing the shit out of your work you are a great reviewer and I miss you very much as much as the other fans do can't wait till we can see you again

[@rodster6campingprepper]

I think they missed a trick with Peter Vincent. They should have kept him as an actor who played a vampire killer but have him be this muscley, macho Blade type. 'Razor, Vampire Hunter' or something like that. Having a macho Wesley Snipes type actor who turns out to be a total coward would play more for the humor and work as a modern version of the van Helsing type character the old Peter Vincent played.

[@MisterRlGHT]

Oh god no

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Terry Crews would kill that role.

[@elseworldmedia9482]

That shot with Freddy in the mirror is so simple, but feels like something we would have seen in an actual film.

[@Go4Bro]

so basically the remake of fright night is just a dumb downed, one-dimensional, fast piece of garbage because modern horror fans have the intention span of 5 year olds.

[@slipknotboy555]

Honest Dave *Dumbed down *Attention span Heh, just figured I'd correct those because of how ironic the mistakes are considering the content of your comment. I agree with it, though (And yeah, I know two year old comment)

I enjoyed the remake fine. As a stand-alone vampire flick, is was all good, albeit flawed, fun. But oh... The original is just one of a kind. Everyone is just on their A-game in that movie, it's funny, it's creepy, the effects are great, and the soundtrack... That fucking awesome soundtrack. God, i love that movie.

Great Content! I only discovered you recently, but I have to say, awesome humor, great critiques. You‘re like a better nostalgia critic with actually clever jokes.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Uh why is it so weird that Jerry the vampire does modern stuff. I mean even Dracula was smart enough to blend in with normal society. Pretty sure if he lived for 400 years he'd pick up some things that are considered normal behavior. It'd be weirder and more suspicious if he acted like a standard vampire.

[@frankg2790]

+The Fan Without a Face When I saw the modernized Jerry, all I see is an egotistical frat boy watching Reality TV. It may make sense in real life, but this is a movie, so everyone expects a mysterious rich recluse hiding in a crypt until dusk and actively hunting down potential victims.

[@StormDatIsApproaching]

4 years late, but it's not that he is modern. It's that he's a douchebro. Even in the early 2010s not every dude was a Jersey Shore wannabe.

[@enrkm85]

​@@StormDatIsApproaching Hey we're both 4 years late. But I agree, It was set in Vegas so they could have gone anywhere with the character. They wasted Ed to.

[@bryanjedi8242]

I don’t know. I like the fact that the movie doesn’t really waste its time with “mystery suspense”. We already know Jerry is a vampire. Also, in the original Charlie finds out Jerry is a vampire barely 15 minutes into the film. That’s not really slowly finding out. And in the original Evil Ed and Charlie are supposed to be friends but they don’t really come off like that at all. At least in the remake they give a real excuse on why there’s tension between the two.

[@leonGarciaification]

fright night part 2 was also good i think and i heard there is a remake part 2 i think ? could do a review of that one too

[@atozreaction116]

@Jason Strom I agree i loved the original fright night and fright night 2. The new fright night 2 was and wasn't even remotely close to the original they keep making new characters with the same name but never actually kept what made the original characters lovable

[@redcloud563]

"the power of arts and crafts repels you" i mean, it worked in Salem's Lot XD

[@lordofthereels6790]

While yes I'd take the original Fright Night any day or night of the week (it's theme song alone i drunkenly sing in public shamelessly ) i feel the remake has a awkward pedigree of actors like Tennant and Farell i find criminally under rated especially with American audiences (which i hope is helped by Tenant's run on Jessica Jones and Farrell's on True Detective season 2) and think the rest of the cast of the renake and OG is exceptional too. I suppose i see them both as fun B movies reflecting the exploitation of a bygone era be it the Hammer horror for the 80's one or mid 80's gorefests for the remake. Also have you seen the FX show Justified? William Ragsdale /OG Charlie is on that and is awesome

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Lord Of The Reels I haven't seen Justified, but I've heard good things. I'll have to check it out sometime. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@karabartley]

[@hunterphille1280]

Dude, I went back to watch this old review. Gold, man

[@The_Texorcist]

Late to the party but I am binge watching all these vids regarding remakes. Many people are anti remake but some are good (even some in somewhat recent memory). It’s just they are few and far in between with a ton of remakes which are substandard to not worth the film stock they are printed to. This one I would say is one of the latter. I feel like remakes work best when they have a creative team who is passionate about the material or at least has a strong creative vision. A few include The Thing, The Fly, The Blob, Night of the Living Dead (90). I think the biggest pitfall for many remakes is that studios think that they have to be updated to fit cinematically with whatever is “in” at that point. So throw in some bland character, turn Vincent into Chris Angel, throw in a ton of CG and action scenes… because yeah… that’s what the “kids” want. The problem is by doing that they ignore and erase so many facets of what made the original work so well.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

I have loved this movie since it came out in the 80’s. I have watched it many times, with friends, family, and others. I watched it a month or so ago. I am not like that with most movies, but this one is unique. The reboot is not worthy.

[@deadwillwalk77]

I actually like the sequel to the remake better than the remake. I fucking HATED the remake (I pretty much hate every single thing about it, the vamp cg was horrific, I hated the cast.. Chris Sarandon showing up was cool though). The original is and always will be the best. One of my top ten of all time. Fantastic review, so glad I found your channel! Very fun to watch, you deserve a shit ton of viewers!

[@aydenvavra2153]

[@LucyLioness100]

All from the genius behind the soundtrack for “Conan” (the Arnold films), Terminator & Robocop: Brad Feidel. Too bad he got upset by Hollywood and doesn’t provide more memorable soundtracks

[@mattvee4827]

Hey, I just discovered your channel and its great! While I appreciate the direction the remake took more than yourself, I admit the original was the GOAT! I love your look too, btw. Kinda reminds me of Herbert Wallace. If you know who that is, you’re one of my people!

[@fightingfaerie]

Considering I knew nothing of the original when I watched the remake, honestly only finding out about it do to being a fan of both Anton (RIP) and David Tennant, I love this movie and think its pretty good. I've never seen the original so I have nothing to compare against, but still I think it holds up on its own. Of course if you've seen or even grew up with the original you are going to be preferential to that, but that goes for anything.

[@LucyLioness100]

I give Colin Farrell credit for trying to differentiate from Chris Sarandon’s more subtle nuanced portrayal, but the writing is a huge problem for the remake. The original embraced the ‘80s horror aesthetic by also harkening to the ‘50s B movie and has an awesome soundtrack, terrific performances from its cast & the practical effects are so fun despite the cheapness (that’s what makes it awesome though)

I barely remember the remake (Which I saw shortly after it came out and I watched before the fantastic original) and what really stood out in this review to me is how the nerd characters regressed. Charlie was a well adjusted horror nerd but in the remake he is a generic douchey teen protagonist ashamed of his outdated nerd stereotype past while Ed went from an overly enthusiastic gore hound to a fucking Revenge of the Nerds character. Everything else is typical dull as dirt 2000's remake fare but that annoyed me.
