Strictly from a movie perspective, this summer cannot come soon enough. More remakes, blah, blah.
Fright Night in 3-D is a remake, for the most part of the 1985 original that you may or may not know was out there. But since the vampire craze has been running full throttle for a few years now, the temptation proved too much to take. Too many vampire and slasher enthusiasts with a bunch of money, and new 3-D technology, and va-voom...you have Fright Night 3-D. And we are not better for it.
In a nutshell, a teen boy living with his single mom outside Las Vegas discover that the hot, single neighbor guy living next door is a vampire. And he's bent on dining on as many victims as he can. From there, the whole story is how this teen plans on eventually killing him so he and his mom can live in peace and all can be good.
Let's just get down to it. This is a snoozer of the first order. Oh, there are a few moments here and there. It's one of those half serious, half satire movies where you are supposed to laugh the whole time you are supposedly being scared. Been done a thousand times. But in its defense, the original was one of the originators of this kind of movie. But most that are going to see this, don't know this. Half cheesy in this remake, turns quickly to rank, rotten cheesy, and the whole thing just ends up stinking up the joint.
You can watch this in regular vision or 3-D. But honestly there are far better things to spend your money on. Outside of a moment or two this isn't going to scare one young person today, or make them laugh. The core audience is far too desensitised for this nonsense. This is child's play to them.
Fright Night in 3-D. No matter what kind of "D" this is, the key letter while watching this is zzzzzzzz!
