Fright Night 2 is described as a sequel to the 2011 remake, but really it is the exact same story as the 2011 and 1985 versions. It is also listed as a horror/comedy, but there is really little of either. Sure there is some gore and killing of victims, but nothing really compared to other ones I have seen. Lots of fake blood splatters.
The differences are this one takes place in Romania and Jerry Dandridge is now Gerri Dandridge and is actuality Elizabeth Bathory.
All the same characters but they lack any of the charm of the earlier movies.
There is a neat scene where Gerri/Bathory uses a bat-like sonar to find some kids in a sewer. The vampire creature she turns into in the end of the movie is kind of cool too, but that is about all the movie has going for it.
Too bad really, I was hoping for more.

I recently watched the original. So bad, but I didn't mind.
ReplyDeleteHave a frightful day and an oogie boogie weekend.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect much from this. Sounds like this is one I'll watch if it's on Netflix and I'm really bored.
