Synopsis

A remake of the 1985 original, teenager Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (David Tennant), a self proclaimed vampire killer and Las Vegas magician, to help him take down Jerry. –IMDb

though I enjoyed it, but quite lousy in a way. Yet it completely changed my opinion to Colin Farrell. He should chose character like this, In Bruges', Phone Booth's.
