Charley Brewster and Peter Vincent must face more vampires, out for revenge. Fright Night Part 2 feels like a cheesy mediocre sequel to the great original from 85'. It's neither scary or entertaining, the acting is sure as hell not that great and except some good special effects and the return of the original actors nothing really makes it on being a memorable movie plus seeing a werewolf climbing a building, trying to get threw the window, the girl closing it and him falling felt more like a kid's sunday morning cartoon than a horror movie. Such a disappointing and awful sequel to a great movie. (3.0/10)
... View MoreI would have preferred a cliche movie rather than something so lame. Long and painful to watch from start to finish. The actors are very good but it's the script that is just terrible. I'm hoping my rating will make some small contribution and this movie will be given the rating it really deserves which is much much lower.Like seriously what kind of person would believe rubbing roses on a werewolf hurts him? Maybe my mistake is watching this movie in 2018 way after I'd watched movies like Fright Night (2011), Werewolf in London, Van Helsing, Twilight where the werewolves and vampires are more believable.
... View MoreThree years after defeating Jerry Dandridge, Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) manages to convince himself that the events of that time were mere figments of mass delusion. Now a hapless student head over heels with Alex (Traci Lind) he is slowly returning to normalcy. Naturally he still remains friends with the diminishing horror star Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), but tries not to entertain the notion that vampires could truly exist. However, when Regine (Julie Carmen) and three awkward individuals move into the same building as Vincent, it seems like its history repeating.Naturally devoid of the originality of the first part, "Fright Night Part 2" redoes several aspects of the plot, sometimes in ways which are replicated in ways too close to comfort. Keeping the humorous quality, Tommy Lee Wallace manages to add a sense of atmosphere, while Julie Carmen instills rapturous sensuality to her vampire. Lacking Evil Ed and Jerry Dandridge a bit too much of character lays on the shoulders of Peter Vincent, aptly British vampire killer with a side order of nut-case. Julie Carmen's allure does add some spice, but unfortunately mostly through sexual enticement, not intriguing character concept. Nonetheless the story is significantly more compact and coherent, thus I actually found myself enjoying it just a tad more than the first instalment, even if it is admittedly less memorable overall. The special effects do improve, but the intangible quality of magnetic charm has fleetingly escaped.
... View MoreYears have passed since the events of Fright Night, but vampires have long memories and one of them shows up in town to take revenge on Charlie. The resulting mayhem and frights fall far short of the white knuckle ride of the first film. Indeed, the slow pace and lack of suspense and atmosphere are major shortcomings for any horror film and doubly disappointing here, since the original had pace and atmosphere by the carload. There is a lush and sensual quality to the new vampire's scenes (if not bite - no pun intended), so the film is not without visual interest, but don't be looking for the sudden shocks and twists of the first movie. They ain't here. Frankly, My Best Friend is a Vampire was a better movie, which isn't saying much.
