Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Fright Night is not a distinguished movie, but it has a lot of fun being undistinguished.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Its tone is never exactly comedic and its horrific touches are more disgusting than scary.
– Janet Maslin,

fresh:
It shouldn't even begin to work, and yet, strangely, it does, sort of, thanks to the assured handling of writer/director Holland.

fresh:
Chris Sarandon is terrific as the vampire, quite affable and debonair until his fingernails start to grow and his eyes get that glow.

Fright Night dances on a tightwire between satire and terror, glittered by special effects and a with-it nonchalance.
