The James Clayton Column: Fright Night and fang fatigue
. It would have been fun to see young Farrell terrorising BBC primetime TV, worrying the sheep and spreading unholy terror through the County Kerry countryside.Ah well, never mind. Farrell has finally got fangs for his appearance as Jerry Dandridge in the 3D remake of the 1985 flick. I’m going to naively pretend that the new Fright Night also stars David Tennant as a dandy showbiz occult expert, which is in effect the Doctor regenerated as a cross between Russell Brand and Aleister Crowley. If Tennant the mascara-wearing magician doesn’t move you, the trailer also promises vampires in Las Vegas, and scenes in which have-a-go-hero Anton Yelchin wields a crossbow to battle the bloodsucker menace.
Altogether, it looks like an enjoyable comedy horror package with a top cast. Plus it’s also interesting to consider the possibility that your neighbour might be a vampire. Fright Night .
The difference is that Hollywood’s latest piece of vamp-camp won’t hollow me out and send me into numb depression like Tomas Alfredson’s ‘bloodsucker next door’ feature did. It’s beautiful horror cinema at its best, but it’s also so bleak and chilling that you need a week of sunshine and Looney Tunes and morose Scandinavian children dwell. Let’s swoop on upbeat batwings back to present day America, where Jerry the vampire is stalking the suburbs and rousing high school teen Charley (Yelchin) to take up arms and impersonate Buffy.
This new picture has promise, and with all its intriguing elements, impresses itself as something worth going to the cinema for. Sadly, Fright Night hasn’t really received massive, enthusiastic buzz, and hasn’t made it as a hit of the late summer blockbuster movie scene. In fact, after its underwhelming North American release, industry experts lobbed the “box office flop” label at it, in spite of generally positive reviews.
In Hollywood, getting that toxic tag is a fate worse than death. If you imagine each individual film personified as a vampire (they want to possess audiences, who exist as their life blood), receiving the “box office flop” brand is like getting your canines capped in plastic and being forced to wear garlic perfume for the rest of your eternal life.

Whedon's vision was realized by actress Kristy Swanson in the title role of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, a film directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui. Buffy Summers is the then cliché “valley girl.” Her only interests are cheerleading, shopping with her
She doesn't recycle Buffy speak here, but there are echoes of that show in Fright Night's sharp and snarky writing (in particular the exchange about Jerry's name could have come out of a Buffy episode, and there is also a Scooby gang reference).
This may help explain the current, ambivalent image of vampires, who have gone from being the quintessence of bloodsucking evil to becoming (in Buffy, Twilight, and True Blood) good liberals who can coexist peacefully with humans who honor their
Looking over the film's behind-the-scenes stats, I should've expected more; besides Farrell offering his stamp of approval to the project, Lars and the Real Girl-helmer Craig Gillespie directed the film from a script by “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and

Miniseries, for the character’s return. As Dawn’s transformation takes a new form, the Wiccan squad in Manhattan detects a strange temporal anomaly, a sort of “reverse-echo” bouncing back to the present day from some point in the future. As Buffy and the gang investigate, Buffy finds herself face-to-face with a warrior girl from a different time. The Fray miniseries (which featured a slayer from the distant future) was a fan favorite, and seeing her return here in such a way as to interact with the rest of Buffy’s world is a lot of fun. Dawn’s storyline continues to be intriguing, and there’s a strange bit of progression for Xander here as well. I must say, I’m not really certain where Whedon is planning to go with this character, but as the series approaches the halfway point, we can expect things to get a lot stranger before they calm down. This series continues to feel like a strong, natural way to progress these characters, even as Whedon and company take advantage of the comic book format. We probably never would have — or could have — seen this story on the TV show, but it certainly feels like it belongs to that universe.
