Fright Night

[Dr. Briggs]

I saw the trailer for it and I think it feels way too flashy and filled with explosions and car chases to make younger audiences more engaged, which is something that the original didn't need. To me, the original felt like a ballad, whereas this remake feels like a little over-the-top to the point where it ceases to be cheesy fun and becomes unintentionally funny. That's what I got out of the trailer.

That's pretty much what I feel about it myself. It doesn't look like an absolute disaster or anything, but compared to the original, it just seems like a pale imitation come to capitalize on the vampire craze and throw in some general-audience-friendly action.
