FRIGHT NIGHT (2011)

Terrible film.  There isn't one thing about this film that improves upon the original.  A botched job in every aspect of the movie.

The writing was terrible.  We should feel for the friend that gets turned into a vampire.  Instead, he's played for comic relief.  We should feel for Peter Vincent.  This is his moment.  He can become a true vampire slayer.  Instead, he's played for laughs as well so the emotional underpinning of his character is lost.  And it would play if the laughs were funny but in both characters, you just groan.  It doesn't look like the actors believe their lines.  

Colin Farrell might have been good if he was given more than one note to play.  His character never changes. 

Poor direction of a bad script.  Even the special effects were third rate.  A complete waste of time.
