In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing FRIGHT NIGHT (2011), a remake of Tom Holland's 1985 film of the same name. This incarnation is directed by Craig Gillespie and stars the late Anton Yelchin as Charley, a young man who comes to realize his new neighbor is so much more than he seems. Colin Farrell gives an outstanding performance as Jerry, a very creepy and ruthless man who harbors a lethal secret. The cast also includes Toni Collette, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and David Tennant in a fun, wild role as Peter Vincent. The film is currently streaming on Hulu/Showtime Anytime and Sling TV. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
