Fright Night 2 : New Blood (2013) 4/10

Starring : Will Payne, Jaime Murray, Sean Power, Sacha Parkinson, Chris Waller
Director : Eduardo Rodriguez
Running Time : 98 mins

Charley Brewster (Payne) travels to Romania to study with his best friend Ed Bates (Waller) and his ex-girlfriend Amy Peterson (Parkinson), but when Charley discovers that one of his professors, Gerri Dandridge (Murray), is in fact a vampire he fears for not only his life but the lives of his friends, especially Amy who is a new moon virgin and as such would be perfect for one of Gerri’s vampire ceremonies.

Holy hell! I really enjoyed the 80s Fright Night movies, and I liked the remake with Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell, but this sequel stroke reimagining was a mess! Here’s me thinking this was going to be a remake of Fright Night Part 2, but instead I’m subjected to a badly written, badly acted version which has no bearing on the original other than the fact that this time the vampire is a woman. There’s not even any references to the first remake, otherwise they would have recognised Gerri’s name at the very least. Do not watch this, it is awful!
