Fright Night. Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) has a hot girl, Amy (Imogen Poots), and is therefore (obviously) part of the in-crowd in high school. He has a geeky past that he wants to keep hidden. His friend from that past, Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) needs some help investigating the disappearance of a friend. Charley tries ignoring Ed, but using blackmail, Ed is able to get Charley to investigate the possibility that a vampire killed their friend. When Ed disappears, Charley becomes a believer in vampires, focusing in on the possibility that his next door neighbor, Jerry (Colin Farrell) is a vampire.
This is a fun movie to watch. And for those who don’t like horror, it doesn’t drive the fear factor too high. Other than perhaps the opening sequence, the horror is more campy versus spine tingling. Christopher Mintz-Plasse is perfectly cast as Ed. Amy is the pretty girl with a good soul. Charley is the guy with baggage who still finds the courage. And Jerry is the cocky vampire who decides to play mind games with Charley versus just taking him out.
