Fright Night Remake

I got to see Fright Night the day after it's theater release.... and I gotta say, I loved it. It was very dark, funny, and over-all enjoyable. It was one of the most entertaining films I have seen this year. Now I had wanted to see the remake from the beginning, opposed to fans of the original who played it off as another stupid remake. The film proved those people wrong though. The Cast played their parts wonderfully, especially Colin Farrel who played an excellent vampire. Christopher Mintz-Plasse, playing once again the stereo-typical nerd, did an 'ok' job as Evil Ed. You can't exactly compare his role to Stephen Geoffreys' because the roles were so unique on their own. Mintz-Plasse's version was the nerdy version of the character, Geoffreys' version was the odd yet normal version of Evil. In the end however, Geoffreys' version will still be the one that is remembered by the fans for his eccentric yet funny characterization of Evil Ed. So all in all, the new Fright Night, that may have disappointed a few fans, was still exceptional in my opinion. If you're worried that you will not like the new version then you should wait for DVD. We should expect a late December/ Early January release.
