starring as the vampire next door that soon starts to put a strain on Anton Yelchin’s (Star Trek) plans to lose his virginity to his unbelievably hot girlfriend played by Imogen Poots (28 Weeks Later). I mean, it’s typical. You’ve hit puberty, hidden your geek-ness from the moronic, sexually active in-crowd that you somehow managed to infiltrate, and cast aside your oldest and geekiest of cos-play loving, sci-fi watching friends and then what happens? Te undead move in next door and ruin your chances with the most blatent non-attempt at hiding in plain sight seen since Elvis opened a chip shop! Seriously, he couldn’t have been more obviously a vampire if on

FRIGHT NIGHT
nother 80s horror classic gets the twenty-years-younger treatment, with Colin Farrell
their first encounter he had slapped him with the severed limbs of the neighbourhood stripper and introduced her as ‘dinner’. It’s not all re-cycled fangs though; whilst this film doesn’t achieve the post-modern, it does dispense with a few of the genre’s more tired and illogically-aggravating traits - at one point, his mum (Toni Collette) actually believes him and doesn’t open the door to invite herself to her own funeral, leaving Farrell to do some novel re-modelling of their house via the gas main. It’s worth noting that you can’t have Dracula without Van Helsing, and David Tennant, post-tardis, is great as Peter Vincent, the drunken, foppish, faux-vampire killing Las Vegas sex pest who is drafted in to help Yelchin get his leg over (and kill Farrell).
