Fright Night

Fright Night (1985) starring Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse, Roddy McDowall. When his new neighbor (Sarandon) moves in, Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) quickly becomes convinced that the neighbor is a vampire. But no one will believe Charley, not even self-proclaimed "vampire killer" Peter Vincent (McDowall). This is a pretty standard horror film, but good special effects, fine performances by Sarandon and McDowall, and a spectacular finale elevate it. It has subtitles in many languages, including English; also, closed captions. Grade: B+
