Fright Night
You can't run from evil when it lives next door.
Directed by Craig Gillespie
Produced by Gaeta / Rosenzweig Films, DreamWorks Pictures
A horror-comedy that balances genuine scares with irreverent humor, using suburban paranoia and vampire mythology as a vehicle for both thrills and laughs.
A teenager suspects his new neighbour is a vampire. Unable to convince anyone, he tries to enlist the help of a self-proclaimed vampire hunter and magician.
