Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

skybrick736 Fright Night 2 is not the sequel that was expected upon viewing but more of a Eurocentric remake of the previous remake. There a new cast of actors and actresses for the five main characters that are most well known in the Fright Night franchise. One new twist that was effective to the film was a female Gerri Dandridge played by Jamie Murray. She was definitely the lone bright spot in the movie to a shoddy cast. A good amount of nudity and graphic kills were other positive attributes but as a whole the film was a rehashed botch of the Fright Night story. It would have been more advantageous if the city of Bucharest, where the filmmaking took place was used more effectively. Fright Night 2 is your mediocre direct to video film, which would have been more compelling with a darker atmosphere and improved script. Skip it.

xeta prime Watched this on Crackle. I'd never heard of this recent Fright Night part II. I saw the originals when they were released part one and two and loved them both. The remake was- ehh... and after reading reviews for this sequel- not a sequel I still gave it a chance. It could have worked. It might have worked. But it didn't. I love Jaime Murray and she did a good job here but I have to say the overall failure lands in Charley Brewster's lap. Charley played by Will Payne was simply unlikable. Was it the Director's fault? You can't have a lead you don't care for. Seemed like all he did was frown- not that that is a bad thing if done right. But I couldn't have cared less about him in this story line, sad to say. Giving 'Evil' a pass as he fared fairly well considering the material and he wasn't the lead character. I was hesitant to give this a try and unfortunately I did. I have no problem with remaking a good story if you can actually pull it off. Didn't work here. But they did try, I give them that. Clear crisp footage. Wish the rest were there.

insomniac_rod The worst horror movie of 2013. Let's get things straight. How could you remake a remake and expect it to be good? "Fright Night 2" remakes the 2011 remake and tries to add a new sub-plot that fails miserably because it reminds us (the die hard fans) of the plot of the 1988 sequel to the 1985 classic. Therefore, you can guess the outcome of this one... Oh, it's bad. The cast is atrocious except for the super sexy Jaime Murray who delivers an extremely sexy scene where she is in lingerie and making out with another woman. That alone, worths your money ;)I could not stand the new Charlie or Peter Vincent, but Evil Ed steals the show as the worst character in the franchise. The settings are nice because the Director shows the beauty of Bucarest, which is an amazing place (also known as the Little Paris) and some interesting settings near the ending. However, the Direct to Video production values are very poor and you can say this is almost a student film. Avoid it at all costs. It damaged the reputation of our beloved franchise.

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
