A boring revamp, with dull 3D effects, insipid teenage protagonists and only sporadically scary outbursts of neck-biting, crucifix-wielding and staking through the heart.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Colin Farrell's performance as Jerry is the pulsing, stakeable heart of the movie.
Farrell is all darting eyes, facial ticks and macho confidence. He never goes over the top, he's not a showy actor, but he's clearly relishing his role and eating it up with abandon. He makes this a Night to remember.
A remarkably confident remake that boasts its own pleasures more often than not.
The new Dreamworks/Disney teen horror comedy, Fright Night, falls into the better-than-expected category.
