Fright Night is a classic B movie horror film from the 1980's. Try and recall a film that fits this profile. Most childhoods are brought up on films of this very nature. They seem to hold a soft spot in peoples hearts that conjure up memories of a time long gone but still desired. Sometimes looking back on movies that you held in high regard when you were a kid can be incredibly disappointing when viewed as in adult.
An overdramatic score, a sexy virgin girl, an every day boy hero, an annoying best friend, a clueless mom, a terrifying evil neighbor, an old man looking for courage, cheesy lines delivered by cheesy at best actors, gross special effects, a plot that just seems to be riddled with ridiculous and obvious developments and what do you get. In this case a highly entertaining guilt free time at the movies.

I really like this review. This was one of my favorite films growing up as a kid. I have to admit watching it recently was kind of a letdown. But even watching it now, I can see why I loved it as a kid. It has all the traits that a young boy would eat up. It just doesnt have any"fright". If a horror/suspense has no fright, it can never be a great experience.
