Fright Night

This is a must see Dracula spooky movie with a little comedy here and there. The Steelbook is beautiful and priced fair. I would recommend this movie to most anyone that likes a little horror and comedy. 👍😎

👍🏼

All around fun.

I purchased as a gift for a friend. She was very pleased. It was a great gift for the price. I would purchase again.

A fun and campy movie. A number of the best known songs seem to have been removed from the movie audio. Film switched to French from English for about ten minutes at the start of the final action sequence.

BOTTOM LINE: One of the THE BEST horror movies pretty much EVER, actually. It has a timeless quality, despite the obvious hairstyle & clothing selections which squarely pegs it as an 80's flick. Top-shelf acting across the board, with the wonderful Roddy McDowell being a stand-out. (IMHO, he deserved an Oscar for his terrific turn as hollow, egotistical B-movie has-been, Peter Vincent.) Excellent practical & optical effects still provide the jolts needed to keep you jumping throughout. Sensuous, slick synth soundtrack by Brad (Terminator, T2) Fidel. This Blu-ray plays flawlessly on all machines and the picture is worlds above the previous DVD editions. The extras alone rate 5 STARS, but with the superb hi-def transfer as well, this would be a 10 STAR release, if such a thing were allowed. :-)THOUGHTS: I have loved this movie ever since first catching it on cable decades ago. It is one of those movies that you never get tired of, the kind where if you come across it on TV you'll settle in and watch it, no matter how far along into the film it is. Writer/director Tom Holland crafts a full-blooded film that takes many of the time-honored vampire tropes and embraces them, while at the same time adding new wrinkles, all without smudging the trappings we've come to know and love about the genre. Every actor here is putting in A+ work, with only Charlie's mom coming across as over the top/farcical in her performance, (though it's still not too far-out and, thankfully, her needed presence is brief). Chris Sarandon as new pain-in-the-neck neighbor Jerry Dandridge is smooth & suave yet also frighteningly threatening... yet still a little sad. Young William Ragsdale makes for a wholesomely good all-American boy next door as our hero, Charlie Brewster. Amanda Bearse, as Charlie's girlfriend Amy, is both a quirky cutie pie and a smoldering seductress (post neck-bite). Stephen Geoffreys is hilarious and appropriately scatterbrained as Charlie's dorky monster nerd pal, 'Evil' Ed. And rounding out the main cast, is legendary thesp Roddy McDowell, playing an in-joke former sort-of 'star' as Peter Vincent. Vincent is on his last legs; eking out a living milking his tarnished status as a former horror film icon to host a chintzy local late night creature feature TV show (which, much to his bitter disappointment, has just been cancelled). He lives in the rose-colored past, pompously clinging to his former (not so glorious) glory days. The character arc for Peter is wonderful, and lifelong yeoman actor McDowell masterfully exploits his character's hidden strengths and abundant weaknesses to their fullest. His transformation from bitter, self-important fop to fearless slayer of all things evil is a joy to behold. (And his quiet monologue in his apartment when Amy & Ed come to visit him is unexpectedly touching.) Truthfully, the man should've gotten the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance, or at the very least a nomination. He did however win the Saturn Award in that category that year, so his work in FRIGHT NIGHT wasn't completely ignored.THE BLU-RAY/DVD COMBO SET: I wasn't sure about ordering this, as it was a non-US release, but took a chance based on the recommendations of other Amazon customers. Shouldn't have worried. This Blu plays just fine in Region 1 machines. The picture & sound jump in quality from the old DVD release is like day & night. A 4k restoration results in a super-sharp picture, with little in the way of dirt & debris not much artifacting, pixelation, edge-enhancement nor crush to spoil it. Vibrant color palette, without accursed over-saturation, bleeding or the villainous use of DNR to ruin the original vision of the cinematographer & the director. Likewise, the soundtrack & audiomix are worlds improved. The mix is properly balanced here now, allowing you to fully enjoy composer Brad Fidel's haunting, sensual score, without it overpowering the dialogue scenes. The BIG bonus for fans of the film is the wealth of fantastic bonus features, the best of which is a thoroughly exhaustive 'Making of...' piece that's almost two and half hours long!!! Lots of other great stuff is included as well. This Blu-ray/DVD combo will likely be THE definitive edition to own for some time to come. Do yourself a favor and buy this! (Score some brownie points with a friend who doesn't yet have a Blu-ray player and give them the DVD .)

It was about vampires. I don't know if you know: vampires are some cool people, are they not?!? But I'm gonna tell you something that I found out: a werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that?!? I never knew that so I don't want to be a vampire anymore - I want to be a werewolf. As I'm watching this show, what was funny these kids had a vampire in their attic at their house. So, they were watching their TV - and I'm watching my TV - they were watching their TV, they see the vampire killer on their TV. So they win this contest to bring this actor (now y'all gotta stay with me) bring this actor who's a vampire killer from that TV to get rid of this real-life vampire in their attic. So that this actor comes to their home. He got all the right stuff: because you know you gotta have a stake (and gotta have a thing to kill 'em in the heart), and he got a necklace of garlic for that work (I don't know what it does, but it work), gotta have a cross, 'cause it burn (I know that work). And then all of a sudden - this's what was so funny about it - as they're walking through the house, this guy's got the holy water. He blessin' the house, this actor (now, he's all faith). He's blessin' the house with his holy water. They walked upstairs, and this vampire - lookin' real good in this black suit, lookin' all good in his black suit - floating from the ceiling. He's floatin' from the ceiling looking good and cool. And I'm thinking "Whoa! They better get out of that house! Somebody float from your ceiling, get outta the house! That's... that's not your house!" But as he floated from the ceiling, the kids jumped behind their hero. As they jumped behind their hero, the guy jumped in front of 'em with his holy water, threw it on the vampire forehead. He covered his eyes. And took his hand away. He started laughing, and he said, "That don't work!" He took the cross and put it on the vampire forehead, and the vampire didn't even do anything. He said, "That don't work!" And that's what it is in our life: it's not even working unless you got faith.

This was a birthday gift for my sister & she loves it. She couldn't have been happier with this dvd. It worked out well.

Muy buena película, siempre fui fan de ella, la tuve primero en VHS, después en Dvd Region 1 con Subtitulos en Español, que por muchos años guarde como un tesoro ya que era prácticamente imposible encontrarla. Ahora adquiri este Blu-ray que me sorprendió gratamente en cuanto a calidad de imagen, además de que incluye el audio original en Español Latino de los ochentas que es más que una buena razón para adquirir este Blu-ray de Edición Alemana y que por lo visto es la única edición que lo incluye junto con sus respectivos subtitulos para quien prefiera disfrutarla con el audio original.Esta es una excelente opción para quien quiera disfrutarla en HD sin desembolsar mucho entre varias otras opciones que existen y que no incluyen Audio o Subtitulos en Español.La compra es segura, y aunque el envío es más tardado de lo normal debido a la procedencia del mismo, llego sin problema y en buen estado, incluso mucho antes de lo estipulado.El Vendedor muy Amable y siempre al pendiente y en contacto.Y Para los que aún duden en adquirirla por ser una Edición Alemana, el Blu-ray es Libre de Región y se reproduce sin problema en cualquier Blu-ray casero Nacional además de que todos los menús están en Inglés como en muchas otras películas.

Magnífica edición dual en bluray y dvd de Eureka repleta de extras. Aviso: no tiene pista de audio ni subtítulos en español.

Ne vous laissez pas décourager par le titre français ( Vampire vous avez dit vampire).Oubliez aussi le remake naze de 2011 avec Colin Farrell ( dont je ne suis pas super fan, Colin c'est parce qu'il est aussi expressif que du poisson pané ?)Vive la version originale des années 80.Merci pour cette édition blu ray allemande avec une image plutôt satisfaisante, le son est vraiment en VFF, en anglais aussi avec sous titres, nickel. Génial, mieux que des versions dvd un peu pourries.C'est un film culte de vampire de cette époque ( avec à mon sens "Génération perdue" pas mal aussi).Alors oui c'est un peu daté mais le film pratique l'autodérison ( personnage de "Peter Vincent", contraction des acteurs Peter Cushing et Vincent Price), les images et cadrages sont astucieux, les effets spéciaux plutôt sympas ( la transformation "à rebours" de Ed, le copain du héros Charlie). Il faut le prendre au second degré. A l'époque au ciné j'avais adoré, j'avais même réussi à récupérer l'affiche si particulière ( et souvent imitée par la suite) auprès du projectionniste de chez moi ! et oui je suis un quadra gâteux !.Par contre vous pouvez éviter la suite bien dispensable produite et tournée au rabais par rapport à l'opus 1 .EnjoyNB perso : le boitier est arrivé fendu mais disque intact
