Well another cult classic gets an unwanted makeover, this time it is 1985's Fright Night. In the remake, Charley Brewster is played by Anton Yelchin (Chekov from the recent Star Trek). Toni Collette plays his disbelieving mum who struggles to believe that her charming next door neighbour - Jerry Dandridge is in fact a bloodthirsty vampire...
Imogen Poots is Amy and Evil Ed is reprised by Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
However, as a plus Jerry Dandridge is played by the ever redoubtable Colin Farrell who has the capability to pull this role off.
And wait for it - David Tennant no less is Peter Vincent, this time an extravagant stage magician who aids Charley in his struggle with Dandridge...
Frankly my initial reaction to this sequel was pass the sick bag. However, with Farrell as Dandridge and Tennant as a very different Peter Vincent, maybe just maybe there is hope for it yet. In the meantime check out the new look Peter Vincent:
