Dreamworks have released another TV spot for Fright Night, the Colin Farrell starring remake of the 1985 classic horror flick. This one is titled “Suck It”, and highlights how some of the regular “rules” of vampires don’t apply to Farrell’s blood-sucker.
The story follows Charlie, an ordinary high-school teenager who begins to suspect that his next-door-neighbour is a vampire. Fearing this strange man’s hold over his mom he recruits the help of a local late-night-TV horror movie host to rid the neighbourhood of the evil menace.
Alongside Farrell the film stars Anton Yelchin as Charlie, with Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant and Toni Collette also attached.. Buffy scribe Marti Noxon has penned the script, and relocated the action to Las Vegas.
Fright Night opens in the US on August 19th and Ireland on September 2nd.
Synopsis:
Senior Charlie Brewster (Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—but everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Collette), doesn’t notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself.
