Preview: Fright Night (2011)

Synopsis:

Several mysterious disappearances seem to center around an unusual new neighbor who one young high schooler is convinced is a vampire. When said vampire threatens the safety of his friend's family, all holds are no longer barred.

• Poster: C+

Review:

I don't particularly like the Colin Farrell Draculaic visage above the film's protagonist, but the rest of the poster has a nice blend of color and aesthetics.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

A re-imagining of the classic '80s vampire flick results in a slow and simplified story. Farrell at least looks like he's having fun, but I'm not sure the audience will.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
