Basically this movie was made, a lot better, by Roman Polanski back in 1967 as The Fearless Vampire Killers.

Neatly parodying Hitchcock and John Hughes movies, writer/director Tom Holland litters his rattling story with as many laughs as jolts.

It shouldn't even begin to work, and yet, strangely, it does, sort of, thanks to the assured handling of writer/director Holland.

Makes up for a dearth of scares with cheeky self-referentiality.

Fright Night is not a distinguished movie, but it has a lot of fun being undistinguished.

Chris Sarandon is terrific as the vampire, quite affable and debonair until his fingernails start to grow and his eyes get that glow.

[Holland] serves up the oldest horror-yarn cliches with a straight face, keeping the action good-natured and even humorous until the gory climax.

Its tone is never exactly comedic and its horrific touches are more disgusting than scary.

Not just an eighties horror classic, but a horror masterpiece...

Fright Night dances on a tightwire between satire and terror, glittered by special effects and a with-it nonchalance.

Fright Night is a tidy little contemporary variation on the vampire horror movie.
