I really have very little to say about this one, other than that I enjoyed it, and I think so should fans of creepy anthologies. Actually, I got a big Tales From The Darkside vibe from it. All three stories felt like episodes (had "Darkside" been done by Brits anyway) despite being completely unrelated, and although the first story is a little predictable (think Mr. Briggs's favorite movie), the second could have been done a tiny bit better and the third story climaxes weakly, the "ambiance" of the work counts for something.
Speaking of the film's flaws just a bit more; the segments which tie together the stories are also rather poor, but often the wraparound of an anthology means little. Makes sense considering that allegedly the stories were originally separate and were brought together by another company, and really doesn't take big points away from the film.
I'll go ahead and be generous: 7/10
I don't believe it is officially on DVD. I found it on Netflix if anyone reading has it, and the film hasn't been taken offline by the time they do.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
