Fright Night

this is a real classic movie,great acting,great fx,great 5.1 surround sound(not 2.0 as play stats).like donald pleasance made halloween,roddy mcdowell made fright night.

very good film i remember watching back in the 90s. but be aware as the remake is a really bad remake and is no where as good as this one.

I'm sorry to disagree with most of the other reviews of this film, but it's pants. Old pants. Just because it's made in 1985 doesn't mean it has to be awful at all, but this is. Very dated effects, pitiful story line, hammy acting... not scary in the slightest. Can I have a refund?

If your into the 80s and love horror then this should be in your collection, good fun story and interesting characters make this a notable vampire film, for a bargain price its worth picking up!!

A brilliant entry in the Vampire genre that easily holds that most difficult of balancing tricks,taking comedy and horror and making them work together.Chris Sarandon is insperational as the charming,handsome new neighbour just moved in next door and the ever reliable Roddy Mcdowell is always watchable.Fantastic,And a hundred times better than the TRULY TERRIBLE part 2.

This is one bloody great film from the 80's,it really is,i remember watching it years ago and when i eventually purchased it and watched it over again i was impressed,its a brilliant movie that never gets much of a mention nowadays but if you haven't seen it = go buy it here on Play.com and get it for a bargain,a must for your collection for sure,superb stuff......

This is one of those cult horrors that not everyone has heard of and it's unfortunate because this is very entertaining. The main character is a kid who is a big horror fan who one night notices a coffin being loaded into the house next to his and his suspicions start to arise further when people begin to die. He tries to get help from his hero, a tv vampire killer played by the legendary roddy mcdowell but nobody believes him. Chris sarandon plays the vampire next door and it has to be one of his best performances. He is so suave and almost like a playboy. Watch out for the remake with colin farrell. It should be in cinema soon

I love this movie, it's one of my favourite horror movies ever. It does a fantastic job of mixing the horror and comedy genres together without going too far. I was weary at first when I heard they were releasing a remake next year, especially with Colin Farrell playing Jerry Dandridge. I just don't see how that is going to work. Having said that, with David Tennant playing Peter Vincent and Christopher Mintz-Plasse playing Evil, maybe, just maybe, it might actually work!

Firstly to the guy that says its dated and needs remaking total nonsense, thats like saying every film made in this era is dated and needs remaking. Fright night is one of those magic horror films that works so well nothing needs changing. The bonus of the film is that it has the late great Roddy McDowall playing such a wonderful character. The acting is good and the film has plenty of scares to make any horror fan happy. They dont make them like this anymore and at this price you would be a sucker not to buy this great film.
