R min Horror. Francis Ford Coppola Stars: The film is good, but fastly moves from excellent moments to ridiculous ones, and then to another fantastic scene, and so forth. There is a heterodox filmmaking, which mixes many different styles alternatively, that works properly. The problem is that while some scenes are visually astounding like the Brides of Dracula, the powers of the vampire, the women possessions , there are also many ridiculously kitsch ones why the hell the hemoglobin?!
Why showing those Dracula eyes in the sky? PG min Action, Adventure, Fantasy.

I liked to see "Tywin Lannister" Charles Dance with vampire teeth too. India Eisley, the girl, also does a good job and has some creepy quasi-"The Exorcist" moments. The first part of the movie is by far the best. Unfortunately, it looses most of its dramatic impact afterwards, becoming a conventional action thriller. Though, it is still an entertaining flick until the end. Selenes's final fight is great.

Kate Beckinsale does a good job in this sequel again. She is as charming as in all other films from the franchise, but here she is sexier than ever.

Recalled Ragsdale, "He had his videocamera on his shoulder and he shooting, like, family movies the whole time. Sarandon recalled that Holland collaborated with choreographer Dorain Grusman in shooting a disco dance scene to have Bearse's character physically changing so that "she goes from this rather dewey, innocent-looking girl to this femme fatale ; she kind of grows up right before your eyes" [24] The scene also established Amy discovering Jerry actually was a vampire.
Principal photography commenced on December 3, and wrapped on February 23, It was totally my film without studio interference. Generally filming went off without a hitch, but a few mishaps did abound, including an incident in which Ragsdale broke his ankle while running down a staircase. The schedule had to be reorganized but filming soldiered on. In fact, I think that the thing I'll remember most about this movie is everyone's spirit and humor. Early in production, Holland invited Fangoria writer Abbie Bernstein to visit the set as often as she liked, and she took him up on his offer.
Of the wrap party in March, Bernstein wrote, "It's fun and pleasant, but it lacks the intense camaraderie of the set. Richard Edlund was the head of visual effects, and his team had just completed work on Ghostbusters , which worked to the advantage of Fright Night.

In those days the lenses were hard plastic, which Steve Johnson hand-painted throwing some glitter into the mix , lacquered and sanded. A set was made for Stark to wear when he's in his final pursuit of Peter and Charley, but he kept tripping on the stairs.
Holland told him to take one out, and he was then able to perform the scene. When it finally became too much to bear, she took the contacts out and the crew realized they'd forgotten to buff them. Brewster's bedroom, Geoffreys kept his contacts in for nearly 40 minutes, resulting in scratches on his eyeballs for months afterward.
For the transformation sequences, it took up to 8 hours to prepare Sarandon's makeup. He did some of the stippling and, while the makeup men were applying prosthetics to his face and head, he worked on the finger extensions. His will had been broken by that point! The makeup for Evil Ed's wolf transformation took 18 hours.
On Christmas Eve, during the shooting of a scene where he's running down a staircase, Ragsdale accidentally tripped and broke his ankle, resulting in the film being temporarily put on a hold until he could recover. For shots in which Charley's feet were visible, the costumers slit Ragsdale's shoes in several places, slipped them on and then covered the portions of white cast which peeked through the slits with black cloth.
The shot of Jerry pulling the pencil out of his hand was achieved by having a spring-loaded collapsible pencil glued to his palm and an eraser-tip loosely attached to the back of his hand. When he turns his hand and pulls the spring-loaded piece from his palm, out of shot a monofilament wire jerked away the tip, so when he turns it back it appears as though he's pulled it straight through his hand.
The crew attempted to achieve the illusion of the cross-scar vanishing from Evil Ed's forehead live on-set, but effect was a resounding failure. In that pre-digital age, Edlund's crew was able to alter the film utilizing optical photography to achieve the effect. Filming of the sequence with the bat was difficult for effects veteran Randall Cook, who kept winding up on film while puppeteering the creature. Further complications ensued when the bat tries to bite Roddy McDowall's character and he forces a bone into its mouth; there was difficulty getting the puppet to bite, and then McDowall jerked the bone too hard and broke the bat's skull.

After the critical and financial success of Fright Night , producer Herb Jaffe retained the screen rights to the characters and pushed for a sequel to be made. In the end, only Ragsdale and McDowall reprised their roles, [43] and a new set of villains were devised.
From all accounts, McDowall relished playing Peter Vincent and was eager to bring Holland back to the franchise, so he had set up a meeting for himself and Holland with Carolco Pictures chairman Jose Menendez [44] to discuss making Fright Night Part 3. Not only did this stop another sequel, it also interfered with the release of Fright Night Part 2 , which attained extremely limited theatrical distribution before being dumped on home video by Carolco's subsidiary, Live Entertainment.

The script, penned by Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Marti Noxon , loosely followed the plot of the original film. He's described by Evil Ed as "the fucking shark from Jaws " and has different intentions for his victims.
Sarandon was offered a role in the remake and chose to pass on the torch by doing a cameo as a man who's eaten by Jerry Dandrige. Sarandon pointed out that "It's not the original and they didn't set out to make the original," but the cast and crew of the remake "were all huge fans. And I read the script and really hoped I didn't like it, and I did. It was a really graceful and wonderful introduction. During a reunion panel discussion at Monsterpalooza in , the cast of the original film discussed the remake at length.
Bearse commented that "as a stand-alone horror movie, it was very well done. It didn't lessen the appeal of the original. It was just more of a one-note film. Stark and Ragsdale went to a screening and discovered they "were the only two people" in attendance. When asked his thoughts in , creator Tom Holland replied, "Kudos to them on every level for their professionalism, but they forgot the humor and the heart. They should have called it something other than Fright Night , because it had no more than a passing resemblance to the original.
