Movie trailer for FRIGHT NIGHT shows its fangs

Here is the first trailer for the Fright Night, directed by Craig Gillespie. The 3D remake stars Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, David Tennnant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Toni Collette. I am looking forward to seeing this when it arrives in theaters. Fans of the original will find a lot of similarities for this film. There is still a nice amount of humor, but some cool looking action sequences thrown in. Check it out below and see for yourself.

Synopsis:

Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all—he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—and everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he’s telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.

If you have not watched the original film, I recommend you check it out. Unfortunately, it has not held up well over time, but is still a classic horror film.  Watch the trailer below and share your thoughts!
