I just recently saw this again. So I bought the DVD. I suppose this is one of those remakes that you originally don't like because you remember the first one. The first one wasn't bad and is worth seeing. But on watching the remake the second time I was not influenced by the original. And so now I feel that the remake is the better of the two. This is a high quality film throughout. There are better vampire films: "30 Days of Night", the first 3/4 of "Children of the Night", and I liked the old Universal "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi. Plot: A vampire moves to modern day Las Vegas because lots of late night activity and people stay there and then leave. Less likely to be missed. The vampire moves into a nice suburb next door to teenager Charlie. A friend of Charlie notices odd things in the neighborhood. They were once friend but Charlie started ghosting him. He works on getting Charlie to look into the vampire neighbor. Finally Charlie believes and has to find a way to battle the vampire. There are a number of other important characters that you'll get to know in this film. It's a nice film worth watching. On second look I think this is better then the original. Read full review

Good movie. I love this remake. Anton Yelchin is/was one of my fave actors. And Colin Ferrell plays an excellent vampire. ππ½ππ½

Itβs not like the original one, less humorous, but well done, with good actors. Iβm glad I bought it!

Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin star in this 2011 horror remake of the 1985 film. A teen discovers that his new neighbor is a vampire. Colin is good as Jerry, but Chris Sarandon defined the role. This dvd has nice picture and sound plus a few neat extras. This isn't bad, but the original is better. I still recommend this.
