Meet Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon). He's sweet, sexy and he likes to sleep in late. You might think he's the perfect neighbour. But before inviting Jerry in for a nightcap there's just one thing you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm, red and straight from the jugular! Only 17-year-old Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret. When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to TV horror host Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) who used to be the "Great Vampire Killer" of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart Amy (Amanda Bearse) from the wrathful bloodsucker's toothy embrace? (Shock Entertainment)

A sympathetic B-movie that doesn't take itself seriously, and thanks to its sense of humor, its flaws are digestible. Overall impression with regard to nostalgia: 70%.

This thoroughbred 80s B-movie that never gets boring was a very pleasant surprise. The great make-up effects, the 80s atmosphere and the funny plot make Fright Night a film almost tailor-made to watch when you don’t want to be scared but entertained.

An unlikeable main protagonist and slow pace are the main shortcomings of this otherwise really endearing movie. A special treat for Vincent Price...erm Peter Vincent fans. It is a little slow in the first half, but it gets going nicely in the second half. Relaxing entertainment by fans from fans.
