I haven't seen the original - waaaah! I have the chance to see it at Fright Fest next weekend. Thought about giving it a miss, but I'll probably check it out . . .

Slippery Jack, I think it would be interesting to hear the opinion of someone who HASN'T seen the original film. Personally, I think the trailers make it look a lot of fun (and reviews certainly seem pretty glowing). As a fan of the original and its sequel, I'm certainly in no great hurry to see it, but that could just be me being blinkered by childhood memories. (Like many, to me it's redundant). It would be horrible to think that this new version puts people off checking out the original, but on the basis of what I've seen in the trailers, I think it's possible that a whole load of new (non-teeny bopper) horror fans (who aren't basing their opinions on nostalgia) might discover it. I like to think it's safe to say that they'll love the original as much as the rest of us... |

I think it was Kim Newman's rather average review that put me off a bit, plus the trailer didn't interest me all that much. But like I say, I'll probably end up watching it - I'll let you know a week on monday!

I've come to respect the thoughts of my peers posting here higher than any critic, so will check this out. But as a big fan of the original, I'm hoping to get big kick out of it.

Well I did read it on empire's site a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find it again last time I looked. Maybe it was a mistake and it got put up too early . . .

Thanks. I was curious. I've been embargoed until 29th August and Kim Newman was at that same showing. Not that I'd expect him to have the same restrictions.

They have killed fright night
just seen a few trailers for this and i think they have killed the good name of Fright Night. firstly they have not even bothered about any good makeup or contacts. just a crapppy cgi. secondly, whoever wrote the part of peter vincent needs sacking, david tennant is much better than that. instead he is an absythe alcoholic. wasted |

Totally disagree, having seen the film and not just the trailers. It's an entertaining movie. If you want a carbon copy of the 1985 original then don't go and see this. It resembles the original about as much as the later version of Dawn of the Dead resembles the 1978 version; but if you want a fun, thrilling film using elements from Tom Holland's story then Fright Night 2011 works for different reasons. For more views on the movie, see this thread; http://www.cult-labs.com/forums/horr...ue-2011-a.html |
