A remake of the 1985 horror comedy (which in itself wasn't a great movie), the charm in the original lied in the kid trying to convince everybody that his neighbor is a vampire. This new one plays its hand too soon. In addition, the original featured a washed out old horror show host, whereas this one gives you a Criss Angel-type illusionist. You can see where I'm going with this. Colin Farrell is well cast as the vampire, but you know what? Vampires are fucking boring.2 "watch the original instead" out of 5

What a piece of shit. I expected so much more from a vampire script written by Marti Noxon.
Everybody was so horribly cast, except Toni Collette. She's impressing me the more I see her.
David Tenant was terrible. He should have been played by Russel Brand or even Colin Farrell. Farrell was embarrassingly bad too.
Such a shame. Could have been great, hokey fun that would outdo the crappy original.
1 "Peter Price"'s out of 5 by the way.
