Fright Night

Sci-Fi, Camp
3.5 stars
Loved it, but then I love vampires :). Colin Farrell swaggers as a sexy vampire who moves in next door to an inquisitive teen, Anton Yelchin (Star Trek 2009, Charlie Bartlett) in a small hamlet outside Las Vegas. The film starts out feeling like a spooky supernatural version of Disturbia, and then turns full on camp later on. By camp I mean funny in a good way. Christopher Mintz-Plasse, aka “McLovin”, has a great comical role as a nerdy teen and friend of Yelchin. Costars include Toni Collette as Yelchin’s Mom and the not so well known David Tennant as a magician and so-called “vampire expert”. Fun movie for lovers of supernatural camp.
