## Recommendation
Horror is sometimes a difficult genre to persuade people to watch. Many people make a blanket claim to never watch horror movies, but to those people I offer up _Fright Night_ as a gateway into the genre. This movie strikes a great balance between more comedic or light hearted elements along with sinister horror. Most of the levity comes from Colin Farrell leaning into and really hamming it up as the movies antagonist.
@ -34,3 +42,4 @@ I appreciate that this movie pays close attention to the aspects of vampire lore
Just to name a few we have: _vampiric seduction_ in the night club scene, vampires "turning" characters, sunlight killing vampires, garlic and crosses, _vampiric immortality_, _vampire thralls_, and loads of discussion about the various ways to kill vampires. There are even some jokes about Twilight thrown in just to make sure all of their bases are covered. I appreciate that they made the movie chock-a-block full of vampire lore, and used those discussions for jokes and fun action set pieces.
The most fun part of the movie in my opinion is when the vampires are attacking them in Peter Vincent's pent house. The scene gives Amy and Charley an opportunity to throw every vampire killing technique in the book at them. It sets up a super corny bit of dialog about silver bullets only working on werewolves which I enjoyed. It's also fun to see the payoff for all of the ways that Peter Vincent explains one could kill a vampire in a preceding scene.
