50 Reasons Why ‘Fright Night’ Sucked
1. Have you seen The Riddler?
2. Always goes upstairs. God, even the DOG knows what to do.
3. Why would dad have the gun lock keys in his pocket?
4. That is the highest bed in the world.
5. I HATE that! The ONE time someone has a gun & they fuck around & die.
6. “Need help with the trash?” It’s already at the end of the driveway.
7. Jeep Liberty rolls up, then Liberty disappears. Liberty shows up again. Then you see the same Liberty parked in a driveway, opposite of where it turned.
8. For Sale signs SOOOO coming in handy later. Too easy of foreshadowing.
9. This fucking crazy moonlight.
10. He grows claws every time he feeds.
11. I feel like Ed’s story in this is already so deep that I missed some of the movie. I don’t think he gets enough spotlight in this. Like we’re thrusted into the rest of the story too quickly.
12. Ed’s room: disgusting & stagnant.
13. Light beer… Budweiser??? Not too light.
14. “Girls, they need to be managed.” Like raped?
15. Dude, Jerry, quit looking around like you’re a criminal.
16. “Everyone’s gotta look after their own business.” You gotta look after those eyebrows.
17. Complaining about “getting under the covers.” You might as well plow her before she or both of you dies.
18. Starting a fight. You should’ve stopped, told her the whole schpeal, etc.
19. WHY would you call 911 automatically???
20. “How to pick a lock” don’t mind that there’s a deadbolt right above it.
21. It’s so extremely stressful just because of how slow he’s walking through this house.
22. Jerry couldn’t have done a better job blacking out his own windows?
23. As soon as I would have seen his headlights, I would have been down those stairs so fucking fast. And how is Jerry already back so fast? Don’t they live in a neighborhood that’s an ungodly amount of miles out from anything? (Even though in one of the shots, The Luxor looks like a mile away)
24. Look through the peepholes already. That’s what they are there for.
25. Wow, she’s taking this very well. She obviously had no will to live.
26. I know he could be pissing with him, but why couldn’t Jerry have just gone around the other side of the stairs?
27. “A million things right now.” A MILLION.
28. Porn at school would have been blocked & he doesn’t seem that smart to fuck with the proxy. For porn anyway.
29. Carrots with machetes.
30. Jerry’s getting a little careless- right in front of the neighbors in the car.
31. WHY is the house STILL blowing up?
32. There IS service by Vegas, even through the canyons. I’ve driven it many times.
33. Seriously, how far out do they live?? This can’t be Vegas.
34. She could’ve stepped on his hand when he put it on her brakes.
35. Stand there with a cross? Why not walk up & stab him while he’s feeding?
36. Pointless having Chris Sarandon being that character. Might as well not even be in the movie at all.
37. He’s FINALLY looking at these photos?
38. Putting up crosses- one barely did anything to him & you think 20 will do the trick?
39. What is the point of his condo remote if he has to answer his phone for deliveries.
40. The odds of this “magician” meeting the same vampire again… Stupid personal side story that I don’t care for.
41. Fogel as a vampire.
42. Fogel just standing there with his head half chopped. Just cut it all the way off.
43. Always leaving weapons when you know water won’t kill him.
44. I’ve been in a ton of clubs. If you REALLY wanted to get through, you just push.
45. Of course there’s a stake that will change the victims back.
46. WHY is the Army Navy store clerk acting weird? Why would he think this is different from any other day? People buy this kind of stuff all the time.
47. The police aren’t investigating this house.
48. His cross bow was armed & he just threw it on the ground… And it didn’t go off when it landed…
49. “You smell that? It’s your fear.” Same as any other vampire movie.
50. That’s a really weird song to end on. Neat cover, but odd choice.
FAIL.
