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

Entertaining, and certainly an interesting take on the original, but in the end it was too dark (physically, not thematically) and too laden with cornball CGI. Many shots were far too under-lit or over-produced to even know what was happening, but there were also some very fun moments. Definitely expected more from Craig Gillespie.

I have not seen the original, but I have to say that if you want to watch a serio-comic vampire movie you're better off watching The Lost Boys. Better pacing, and much better balance of humor and horror.

What a waster of talent and franchise
By Henrik Schunk on January 13, 2012
So much potential, but the film is just way too formulaic and you can tell that the whole endeavour was just a studio’s attempt to cash in one the 80s-remake craze with some random actors thrown in… read review
