Fright Night (1985)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 105m
Director: Tom Holland
Cast: Chris Sarandon, Roddy McDowall
Synopsis:
The host of the eponymous TV show is enlisted by a young viewer to despatch some real vampires.
Review:
Typical upmarket American horror of the eighties, with a jokeyness to show that it doesn't take itself too seriously, and a line-up of effective shocks and special effects for those who came to see the real McCoy. McDowall plays an amalgam of Peter Cushing's two trademark characters: the authoritative professor and the comedy relief professor. A sequel inevitably followed.
