If you are looking for a fun vampire movie, might I suggest Fright Night. This remake of the 1985 movie of the same name sees Colin Ferrell as Jerry. He’s the Fright in Night. A vampire of extreme methods and a zest for being a vampire. He moves in next to Charley (the always awesome Anton Yelchin) and it takes the disappearance of a friend that tips off Charley that Jerry isn’t human.

It’s a movie that doesn’t take it’s time to get to the point. It throws the Twilight style of vampire far behind and goes for the pure monster angle. Real refreshing to see, the cast is all great and it’s really well paced. It’s a good looking movie too. I only have 2 complaints.

Some of the CG effects are so bad it’s distracting. Terrible compromising, really awkward human animation, it’s easy to tell when the CG takes over. My other complaint is some weird acting by Colin Ferrell. He’s a great actor and he plays an outstanding villain here. But for some reason he decideds to really ham it up. It’s like watching vaudeville or something. The scene where he goes to Charley’s and asks him for some beer took such a weird turn I thought I was watching outtakes. At this point Jerry knows he’s been made and Charley is doing his best to stay cool and not tip his hand. So their interaction would be much different from a normal conversation, but it’s played so wrong you can’t help but laugh.

Aside from that, it’s a great rental at the very least. Easy to skip, I’d recommend you check it out for some good movie monster fun.
