Absolutely Fantastic

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

First of all, I have to say that this movie has nothing to do with Fright Night. Nothing at all. I believe that the people who made this movie, just decided to name it Fright Night 2 in order to gain the audience of Fright Night. Fright night is like horror comedy. This one was action-horror movie. It is actually a very nice and decent vampire movie. They could have named it '' The dark countess'' or something similar. Because it is not a sequel or something. This is a real vampire movie. And very interesting one too. Much better than many other vampire movies. But the fact that they named it fright night 2 just to gain attention and audience for their movie, since it had nothing to do with fright night itself, this was the reason the audience did not enjoy it, neither they gave it a good rating. This movie is not excellent but it is nice. And some scenes are upsetting I would say. It is like a nice b horror movie. The cast was good, the acting was nice, the plot was nice, there was nothing I did not like

This film does seem to pass over the 2011 Fright Night remake. It borrows many elements from the original Fright Night and its sequel. However, this does not make a film entirely devoid of entertainment. If you have not seen any previous versions of Fright Night then there may even be some surprises. If you have then it is quite enjoying ticking off the various 'nods' towards the previous movies. I felt the characters of Charley, Amy and 'Evil' seemed to be based more on their 80's versions than their 2011 incarnations. I also particularly enjoyed the teasing cat-and-mouse game employed by Gerri Dandridge upon Charley. Though I was slightly confused as to why he seemed to be specifically chosen for this.Overall, a fun little vampire flick that should divert your attentions away from the boredom of an average evening.Possible spoiler and pedantic point: Wasn't Elizabeth Bathory Hungarian not Romanian? Was this supposed to be explained by the mixing with the Dracula myth?

First of all this movie is not part 2 to the Fright Night remake from 2011. It is a remake of the 1985 original Fright Night and the 2011 remake. So it is the 2nd remake of Fright Night 1. The characters Charlie Brewster, Evil Ed, Amy Peterson, Peter Vincent and vampire Dandrige are here as in the original, however this time the location is set in Romania. I was entertained from beginning to end. The special effects were great considering this is a made for video movie. Lots of blood and guts you get the idea. So rent or buy this movie, get some popcorn and enjoy. Don't think of this movie as a remake because it still is not as good as the original and you may be disappointed. Think of it as a modern vampire movie set in Romania and you will most likely enjoy it.

This is a very strange film. I expected a remake of the original Fright Night 2 only to find that it wasn't that at all. Then I assumed it was a sequel to the remake, but as Charley Brewster had no knowledge of vampires or Peter Vincent, it wasn't that either. OK, so how about just being a fun trashy horror film with an absolute knockout lead actress as a seductive vampire? Well, yes and no. Jamie Murray is marvellous and she is the saving grace of the film, and her performance partially rescues the affair. However, she needed to be featured more and her character been allowed to cut loose more extensively. As it is, the film misfires in the belief that the audience will be rooting for the drippy and charisma-free Charley and his vapid girlfriend, an ex-Coronation Street luminary (I'll skip over 'Evil' Ed, as should you) and I'd have been quite happy to see Countess Bathory triumph! As for 'Peter Vincent', Sean Power isn't Roddy McDowell (or David Tennant for that matter) and we'll leave it at that. Also, the Countess Bathory angle is confusing as Gerri ultimately has three forms: the seductive 30-something Gerri, a wizened Gerri who needs to bathe in blood to get back her youthful visage, and a monstrous vampire form. Of the latter, if that is what a vampire truly looks like then why does she age in her human guise? It doesn't make sense, but since little does in the movie I don't suppose it is worth pondering. So, more Gerri and less moping Charley and Fright Night 2 could have been an effective B-feature. But it isn't. Oh, well, there's always the next season of Defiance.
