This remake of the 1985 original starts of a little slow, but once David Tennant drops the whole poor man's Russell Brand shtick this really comes to (
All the cast play their roles well, McLovin plays McLovin and its no surprise David Tennant steals scenes when taking on a load of monsters - so Colin Farrell breaking from the leading man norm to play a sinister, sleazy vampire deserves credit alongside Anton Yelchin doing that Eisenberg/Cera thing of showing Shia Lebeouf how to do his job properly.
The 3D works well in Fright Night and the tech suits a genre where things jumping out of the screen is part of the appeal. However someone really should have pointed out that Colin Farrell morphing into a vampire monster looks a little bit too much like John Travolta to take seriously.
