Review Film Fright Night (2011) Full Movie
Remake lagi..Remake lagi..Sudah berapa kali remake yang gagal. Me-Remake sebuah karya adalah hal yang cukup sulit karena penonton tepatnya sudah memiliki ekspektasi yang tinggi akan film yang diremake ini. Remake yang paling saya ingat hingga sekarang adalah Friday The 13th, Disturbia, The Eye, Clash Of The Titans, The Crazies ah, banyak sekali remake hingga sekarang. Dan hanya beberapa dari remake tersebut yang tampil dengan memukau. Sisanya? Diletakkan di tempat sampah. Seperti halnya dengan Disturbia, yang tidak menghilangkan sama sekali efek tradisional nya dan membawanya kembali ke versi remake nya, ‘Fright Night’ melakukan hal yang sama. Yang membuat ‘Fright Night’ menjadi film yang sangat menyenangkan untuk disaksikan dan sebuah hiburan yang tepat bagi pecinta horor.

‘Fright Night’ mengisahkan tentang Charlie (Anton Yelchin) yang sekarang sudah populer di sekolahnya, berpacaran dengan gadis yang paling terkenal di sekolah Amy (Imogen Poots) dan berteman dengan teman-teman yang populer pula, salah satunya Mark (Dave Franco). Berteman dan berkencan dengan teman-teman hingga pacar populer dan membuat dirinya sendiri populer membuat Charlie melupakan teman lamanya Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Ed dikenal sebagai anak yang aneh. Semenjak sahabatnya yang lain menghilang, Ed mengajak Charlie untuk mencari tahu, Charlie awalnya tidak percaya karena Ed mengatakan bahwa ada mahkluk bernama vampir yang tinggal disebelah rumahnya.

Keesokan harinya, Ed menghilang dan Charlie berusaha mencari tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi. Semakin ia mencari tahu mengenai vampir yang tinggal bersebelahan dengan rumahnya Jerry (Collin Farell), semakin ia terjerumus kedalam perangkap Jerry. Semakin ia mencari tahu, ia dengan tidak sadar mengorbankan dan menaruh pacarnya serta ibunya Jane (Toni Collette) kedalam bahaya. Charlie menjadi seorang nomor satu yang dicari-cari dan diincar oleh Jerry. Charlie baru tersadar bahwa seharusnya ia tidak ikut campur dalam masalah yang melibatkan Jerry.

Well…. ‘Fright Night’ memang tidak begitu serius. Memang film ini tidak dibuat dengan
begitu serius. ‘Fright Night’ mengajak penonton untuk bersenang-senang lewat teror vampir nya yang menegangkan. Maka itu, ‘Fright Night’ adalah tontonan yang ringan. Dan ‘Fright Night’ pun terkadang tidak masuk akal di beberapa adegan, mungkin hal tersebut yang sedikit menganggu bagi saya. Hal yang menganggu lainya adalah plot hole nya yang lumayan banyak. Namun, saya tidak begitu mempermasalahkan karena ‘Fright Night’ memang dibuat untuk bersenang-senang. Sebagai sebuah film horor yang membawa nama vampir, ‘Fright Night’ jelas sangat diatas rata-rata film horor vampir lainya.
Hal yang paling saya kagumi adalah bagaimana ‘Fright Night’ masih bisa menyelipkan horor-horor oldschool nya di beberapa bagian. ‘Fright Night’ tidak sepenuhnya modern. Hal ini lah yang paling saya sukai dari ‘Fright Night’. Walaupun ‘Fright Night’ tidak begitu menyeramkan bagi saya. Namun, saya cukup terkaget-kaget dibuatnya lewat adegan-adegan mengejutkanya yang selalu berhasil membuat saya terkejut. Menegangkan. ‘Fright Night’ menang dalam hal tersebut, ‘Fright Night’ mampu tampil menegangkan sejak awal hingga akhir. Mungkin hal ini juga saya harus acungi jempol. ‘Fright Night’ adalah horor ringan yang cerdas.

Dari jajaran pemainya, semuanya sangat saya sukai. Anton Yelchin sebagai Charlie mampu bermain dengan cukup baik. Imogen Poots juga mampu bermain dengan sangat baik pula. Dengan wajahnya yang cantik, Imogen Poots mampu meningkatkan mood saya untuk menyaksikan film ini. David Tennant yang disini dikhususkan dan dibuat untuk lucu-lucuan. Hampir semua lelucon-lelucon yang menurut saya lucu keluar dari mulut Peter Vincent atau bahkan dari tingkah lakunya bodor nya sepanjang film. Christopher Mintz-Plasse pun juga cukup meningkatkan kelucuan film ini. Jadi, semua jajaran pemain bermain dengan sangat baik. Mereka mendapatkan sebuah porsi yang pas, membuat mereka mampu bersinar lewat akting cemerlang mereka masing-masing.

Fright Night’ pada akhirnya berakhir sebagai salah satu remake yang paling memuaskan yang pernah saya saksikan. Dengan komedi nya yang sangat pas, ‘Fright Night’ menjelma menjadi sebuah horor/komedi yang begitu menyasyikan dan tontonan yang sangat pas untuk disaksikan oleh teman-teman karena filmnya yang benar-benar ringan, namun masih sangat bisa dinikmati. ‘Fright Night’ bagaikan sebuah film mengenai vampir yang sengaja dibuat oleh Craig Gillespie untuk remaja, maka itu hasilnya sangat sesuai dan sangat menyenangkan untuk disaksikan. Tidak lepas dari kekurangan, ‘Fright Night’ tetaplah sebuah film horor yang sangat jauh dari kesan buruk, sebuah tontonan yang menghibur dan cukup mengerikan. Menegangkan, ‘Fright Night’ mungkin salah satu film horor/komedi terfavorit saya hingga sekarang.

English Version

The original Fright Night was far from being a cinematic masterpiece, but it did pull off the difficult trifecta of being funny, freaky and all-around fun. The movie (and so many other campy B-movies like it) has carved out its place in the hallowed hall of fan nostalgia, which is why the notion of remaking the film has been met with ire, anxiety, and more than a bit of annoyance.

So, do director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) and his cast manage to make their remake a worthwhile venture, while still honoring that which made the original Fright Night a cult-classic?

Short answer: Pretty much.

The premise is the same, though the setting has changed: Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) lives in a small development community just off the Las Vegas strip. It's a community where people come and go with the desert wind, and many residents are used to a lifestyle of sleeping through the day and working their nights away on the strip - so it's of little portent when more and more of the cookie-cut houses in the development start turning up vacant, or kids from Charley's school get marked down as perpetually absent.

Only one person is preaching doom: Charley's former best friend "Evil" Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a geeky spaz who Charley has left behind in his climb up the high school social ladder, a journey prompted by snagging his hot girlfriend, Amy (Imogen Poots). Ed tries to sell Charley on a crazy revelation: that Charley's new lothario neighbor, Jerry (Colin Farrell), is actually a ferocious vampire who has been preying on their isolated community. Charley, of course, thinks immature Ed is simply reading too much Twilight.

However, it soon becomes apparent to Charley that Ed may not be so crazy after all. But as Charley realizes the truth about Jerry, Jerry realizes that Charley has learned his secret. From there it becomes a battle for survival, one which Charley cannot win alone - and so he desperately seeks out the most unlikely vampire hunter one could imagine, illusionist Peter Vincent (David Tennant), to help put Jerry in the grave for good.

If you can't tell from the premise, this is the type of film which relies heavily on tone to avoid collapsing under the weight of its own silliness. Thankfully, director Craig Gillespie knows exactly what this film needs to be: light in the funny parts, tense and gripping in the scary parts, with an undercurrent of playful B-movie tongue-and-cheek throughout the proceedings. It also helps that Gillespie is a very competent director, able to create great set pieces, good action sequences, with a sharp eye for color, lighting, and space. The script by Marti Noxon is witty, winking and well-paced, and Gillespie manages to craft some truly tense and scary moments where appropriate. The general air of self-deprecation keeps the movie fun no matter what is going on, and the cast of actors all embrace that sense of kitschy fun in their respective roles.

Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell are an unlikely, and yet extremely effective, pairing. Yelchin is good about conveying Charley's journey from being an ex-nerd playing cool, to a bug-eyed weirdo stricken with paranoia, to a ballsy fighter determined to protect those he loves. The young actor has skill and range and puts both on display without ever weighing the role down by taking things too seriously.

Farell looks like he's having a blast as Jerry, a character that allows him to play up both his pretty boy suaveness and bad boy menace with equal aplomb. It's clear that we're living in an age where the image of the vampire has taken a sharp turn sideways, because seeing a vamp who's nothing but cunning and ruthless is so familiar, and yet, so refreshing. As Evil Ed says at one point, "He's not lovesick, or misunderstood, he's the @#$%ing shark from 'Jaws'!" And it's a welcome return to form for bloodsuckers everywhere. Farrell chews the scenery (and his victims) and spits out bloody good fun.

One role many fans of the original will be critical of is that of Peter Vincent. The iconic character was originally played by legendary actor Roddy McDowall (Planet of the Apes), who was as hammy as he was fun. David Tennant (Doctor Who) steps into the role of Vincent and manages to make it his own, while still keeping the character equally hammy and enjoyable as the original. He gives Vincent great quirks which make him larger than life and memorable - an addiction to Midori Melon Liqueur, an understated (and hilarious) send-up of celebrity image and ego, etc. Tennant's Vincent steals many of the scenes he's featured in - though his foul-mouthed assistant, played Sandra Vergara, definitely steals a few moments right out from under Tennant.

Ironically enough, the more prominent female characters leave less of an impression than Vergara does, even though they are played by talented actresses like Toni Collette and Imogen Poots (28 Weeks Later). Christopher Mintz-Plasse is something of an established brand of character actor at this point, so his "McLovin" version of Evil Ed isn't quite as fresh or enjoyable - though he does get some time to ham it up too, later in the film.

Finally, the 3D format of Fright Night is well constructed - which is especially impressive, given that a lot of the film takes place at night. 3D tends to dampen color schemes, but not once did the movie get too dark or murky to make out what was going on - nor did it suffer from the depth distortion which plagues other 3D films. On the other hand: a lot of what takes place in the first two-thirds of the film doesn't require the added the dimension. People walking and talking and hanging around everyday environments is not something we need to see in 3D.

It isn't until later, when the action kicks into high gear, that there are some truly worthwhile 3D moments. The rest of the time, GGI gore spraying out at the audience is pretty much the extent of the effect's usefulness. I will say this, though: whether purposeful or not, the hokey 3D gore effects do add to the campiness and are just another layer of B-movie fun.

All things considered, Fright Night manages to give an old idea a fresh modern spin, but doesn't sacrifice the original's kitschy fun factor as a result. Definitely one of the better horror movie remakes out there.
