Vastly underrated Vampire movie that is stylish, cool and highly memorable. A simplistic premise (Good vs. Evil) which pays homage to the old horror flicks. Fright Night benefits from two superb central performances, Chris Sarandon is mesmerising in a Christopher Lee type role and Roddy McDowell chews the scenery as a cross between Peter Cushing and Vincent Price, hence his characters name, Peter Vincent.
Unleashing a barrage of (very good)special effects later in the film, the director Tom Holland carefully constructs an old fashioned tale of terror which never fails to enthral and entice the audience resulting in one of the very best Horror films of the 80s.
