Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
rob-721-339358 I don't understand why some rated it too low. It is at par with the previous releases of Fright Night, even actors played the script very well.

I mean wow was this stupid and totally unnecessary. The Fright Night franchise started in 1985 with the cult-classic from Tom Holland, got a sequel. Years later the same thing happens remake style, we get a great remake of the original Fright Night with Collin Farrel and then this shitty sequel. This sequel has the exact same plot, beat by beat. If you've seen the original, the remake with Collin Farell then you basically have seen this movie. The only minor differences I can point out are is there is a school about I believe it's Romanian history and they talk about vampires and they say Dracula is a woman. Which the main vampire who is after Charlie and Amy is a woman, there professor. Peter Vincet goes to a strip club and doesn't get his show cancelled. Last difference which is actually a positive about the film it has a cool fight between Evil Ed and Charlie. You couldn't find a reason this film was mad even if there was a book about it. It accomplishes nothing and is a disgrace to vampires for not being scary and for just sucking, I have seen vampire films that people say are awful but I like to those people watch this then come talk to me. The acting if you can even call it that is one dimensional and lackluster because we've already seen two great films with these characters, I mean I give the actors credit for trying but trying doesn't give you a lot of brownie points in an awful movie. Fright Night 2: New Blood has the worst acting, no originality, spits on one of the most vilest villains in cinema history by making him a woman and is just downright awful, I hated this movie.
ericrnolan I submit that the direct-to-video "Fright Night 2″ (2013) is the paragon of average horror movies. It is neither great nor terrible. You don't immediately call your friends to recommend it, but you don't bemoan its $1 rental price at Redbox either. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.The movie suffers greatly from an insufferably irritating iteration of protagonist Charlie Brewster. He's uncharismatic in every scene, including those showing his weaselly entreaties to the girlfriend who left him after he cheated on her. (He is played blandly by Will Payne; she is played rather well by Sacha Parkinson.) Entirely absent is the charm and likable innocence that Anton Yelchin brought to the role in 2011's "Fright Night." (Kyle Reese fought vampires in 2011, then aided John Connor in the future to fight terminators, evidently.)The lackluster Charlie here is compensated for by a terrific villain. Jaime Murray is a fantastic female equivalent of Dracula. She's a strong actress, she's a quite tall brunette who looks the part, and she knows how to both sex it up and scare us. I love her as a bad guy (gal). I'd love to see her play a conspirator on one of the nerd community's most anticipated upcoming revivals: "24" or "The X Files." I'm told she has a role on that medieval show that people watch. "Shame of Thrones?" "Dame of Thrones?" I've never seen an episode."Fright Night 2″ benefits from Romania as a wonderful shooting location, and it's captured nicely by the talented eye of director Eduardo Rodriguez. What is the deal with average or mediocre horror films being filmed on location in Romania? Is it just really cheap to shoot there, like Prague?Anyway, this movie's title is a misnomer. This movie isn't a sequel to the terrific 2011 film. It is actually a remake — we again meet Charley Brewster and Peter Vincent (the very cool Sean Power). It's confusing.And here is my requisite exposition to silence the pedants in advance — of course we are all aware that this is a "remake of a remake." The 2011 film is a nice update of the 80's classic. (And wasn't that fun flick the talk of the neighborhood back in the day?)Sooooo, seeing how average this film was, I really can't recommend that you ether watch it or skip it. I guess I can just offer a neutral "hmm." I'd suggest that it is acceptable fare if you're an especially ardent vampire movie fan who has already viewed the classics that are easily available.
Rich Wright Okay... Pardon my French... but WTF is this? What we have here is an indescribably bizarre production... It takes NO account of the events of the first Fright Night film which came out two years earlier (Despite it being classified as a sequel) and is in itself, a virtual remake of the ORIGINAL 1985 Fright Night... Which was rebooted in 2011!! Didya get all that?! If you did, gold star for you... If not, don't worry, because you could get all the top scientists and academics in the world into a little room... And they STILL couldn't come up with any idea as to why this film should exist.What they've done is take some of the best characters ever found in a comedy/horror, stripped them of all personality so much so that even calling them generic would be a kindness, removed all the tongue-in-cheek laughs that made the 80's Fright Night so funny, and added non-stop brainless gore. Oh, and the fantastic Jerry Dandridge (The Big Bad from the original) has had a sex change... she's now known as Gerri. This adds nothing of consequence to the plot...Apart from adding in lots of NEARLY nude scenes where we get to see ALL of Jaime Murray's breasts... apart from the nipple. The attention to detail to avoid the unveiling of said teat is astounding for sure... If it isn't her long hair covering it up, it's a background item. She must have had a clause in her contract... show me tits, you pay an extra million. Shame they didn't shower that kind of attention on the rest of this sorry production.Peter Vincent is now a charmless fake paranormal investigator instead of a lovable old ham film actor, and love interest Amy is a nagging annoyance rather than a supportive girlfriend. Our 'hero' Charlie Brewster has lost most of his brain cells in transition, and now makes mistakes left,right and centre that put everyone in jeopardy. Only Evil Ed seems to retain SOME of his manic persona, but his jokes aren't half as funny this time around, and when he gets staked as a vampire, what was a very moving moment in the 80's Fright Night is mishandled by epic proportions.Entire segments of that film seem to have been ripped out and given a 'modern' direct-to-video rewrite... Which in other words means, they screw them up royally. They remove all subtlety and intelligence, and replace it with hokey dialogue, predictable last minute escapes and buckets upon buckets of blood. It's tedious, mind-grating and not rewarding in the slightest, particularly if you're like me and have witnessed the wonder that is the original.If you want to make a crappy horror flick, that's GREAT... But please don't steal the script and characters from a classic, and urinate all over them from a great height with your nonsense. Special mention to the mawkish, cheesy, sick-inducing ending which made me scream at my TV like a crazy man. They were SERIOUS with that scene? There was no IRONY behind that nauseous spectacle at all? No last minute JUMP like you get from so many others of this genre? Nope. I suppose in a way though, it DOES wrap up nicely what has been a complete pile of... manure from start to finish. Well done for consistency, at least. But nothing else. Now, get ye gone thou Spawn Of Satan disguised as a DVD, lest I smite ye through your case with my patented stake. GO!!! 3/10
