Doctor Who the vampire slayer


Fright Night (2011)

Directed by Craig Gillespie this remake of the 1985 film of the same name stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, David Tennant, Toni Collette and Imogen Poots. A high school student in Las Vegas thinks his new next door neighbour might be a vampire.

I have not seen the original film but this version does seem to have a good amount of humour and action, where the film is weakest is in the use of simple scare tricks we have all seen before. David Tennant plays a drunken version of his time lord character who has most of the best lines. In the end this is an entertaining if unremarkable film which involves a lot of ground already well trodden by other films in the genre.

3/5
