Fright Night Part II Movie Review

Fright Night Part II Review

"Fright Night Part II" Overview

**1/2 stars

The original Fright Night is a mini classic of gore and gags -- so why wouldn't you follow it up with a sequel?

Fright Night Part II picks up three years later, after Charley (William Ragsdale) has been therapized into believing that vampires don't exist, which does him little good when the sister (Julie Carmen) of Chris Sarandon's vampire from Fright I, comes after him for vengeance. Soon enough Charley's turning vamp himself... so it's Roddy McDowall's vampire hunter to the rescue once again.

Fright Night Part II went pretty much straight to video in 1989, but fans of the original will find something worth watching here. It's main failing is in the humor department -- the jokes are stale and err on the side of one-liners instead of anything truly memorable. The remainder of the script is a fairly standard slash-and-grab vampire movie, with the usual "I can't eat garlic" revelations, culminating in a showdown of epic proportions.

in some respects fright night 2 dvd was great the only let down was there were no extras not even an trailer one way that fright night 2 on dvd to suceed is to improve buy just adding the theatrical trailers and tv spots and the odd featurette bios about the movie like the fright night dvd has got the trailer and cast and crew bios on the other hand the movie was very good and the cast and crew was exellent including brian<mortal kombat>thompson was very funny.
