DAY 20.1: Fright Night (1985)
On Amazon Prime

So this movie was incredibly fun and an interesting take on vampires.

This flick is about a kid whose neighbor is a vampire and killing people. He enlists in the help of a washed up actor who pretended to be a vampire hunter on TV to deal with the vampire.

What can I say? It's a funny, charming movie. This is made by the same guy who did the original Child's Play, so if you enjoyed anything comedic in that movie, you'd probably like this too.

This movie is really strong in terms of just giving you a good time. It wastes no time getting into the plot. It doesn't tease you with "Oh is he a vampire or not?" No, you know he's a vampire and they skip a bunch of the BS that a lot of other movies would probably spend time on. With this cast of characters, it really heightens the movie. The actor in particular is pretty outstanding and a shining part of this movie.

It's a take on vampires that, while the vampire does things you expect, it still feels fresh. And for 1985, these effects are pretty outstanding. I really have very little negative to say about it. This movie does exactly what you want it to: entertain and give you a fun time with vampire antics.

I recommend this.

Rating: 7.5/10
