single white femalienAug 9, 202098 This movie is such a miracle. A delirious mix of classical horror and stylized 80s confidence. The sharpness of the screenplay is only bested by the ominous imagery. Watching the film slowly summon the undead spirit of a Gothic picture is a delight.

That Peter Vincent/wolf scene is probably the most underrated scene in '80s horror.

A Circus RatOct 4, 2023when watching this movie and thinking of what is made in its place today, I can’t help but remember an excerpt from a roger ebert review which perfectly and simply encapsulates my fondness for this film: “it’s better than it has to be”

Morgan likedFright Nightfun campy 80s horror movie with a bisexual vampire (i wish he didn’t seduce a 16 year old tho) it was a very slow start but i liked the characters and the effects were cool :) i loved amy, evil ed made me laugh so hard and the parts with peter vincent: vampire killer were great

This is and always will be the definition of a great vampire movie. Just look at that poster, LOOK AT IT. Chef’s kiss. So cool Brewster 10/10
grace likedFright Nightthe special effects went HARD!!! i throughly enjoyed watching this, it was super fun and Chris Sarandon is oh so hot 🥵
Mark Bateman likedFright Night6/10
- Ryan Tower is "meh" onFright Night
TW: grooming, Pervy vampires The character work from Amy, Evil Ed and Peter Vincent makes this worth a rewatch Strangely sexualized bi vampire who’s combing through the neighborhood. Is a love letter to sexy slasher 4 the male gaze. Children may fear 4 partners near a vampire🤦🏻♂️🧛
parkersherrod likedFright NightSuch a fun movie. Definitely has some classic tropes, but it leans into those in a great way. Excellent Halloween movie vibes and overall great performances from the cast. Also love the practical effects. A fun movie to watch with a group of friends.
Joshua Breeding lovedFright Night7.8/10 Lots of fun. Horror comedy. Definitely some gay connotations with the vamps “roommate”. Lots of good special effects and makeup. I loved the three really gross death scenes. Ignore the very last scene with the eyes and the laugh.

Metacritic
Directed by Tom Holland, who serves up the oldest horror-yarn clich'es with a straight face, keeping the action good-natured and even humorous until the gory climax.
