Fight Night looks laughable

 

Much like the original.

 

Original Fright Night is a cracking film. Great Script, was one of the 80s films that poked at conventions (The same thing that Scream was lauded for) And Chris Sarandon is at his smarmy best in it.

 

On a different note look at this for a cast

 

 

If its anything like the original series / book it could be amazing

Speaking of pointless remakes

What makes a remake pointless?

 

Insert standard cries of Hollywood being lazy and out of ideas here.

 

In typical fashion places like imdb are now flooded with the original is perfect leave it alone type posts even though Fright Night really isn't that great sure it's pretty fun in parts (less said about the sequel the better) but it's hardly the most memorable of films for me and mush like a lot of 80's products has aged badly.

 

It looks like one of the more interesting remakes to me.

I would much rather see something original with it's own ideas than just an updated soundtrack plus a few of the moment actors playing dress up. I'm not saying all remakes are pointless but TGWTDT looks like a straight up redo (with a crappy soundtrack) and Fright Night just looks horrible.
