SEE: New FRIGHT NIGHT Dark Humor Character Posters
Well I know what they are trying to pull off here with the dark humor but it doesn't quite work for me. Yeah I get that the movie is skewed toward a teenage audience, but still - the older crowd should still be drawn to it. It is a remake after all. Marketing like this though doesn't cut it for me.
Oh well, it's only a segment of an overall plan to get the word out so I can live with it!
Teenager Charley Brewster (Yelchin) guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (Tennant), the opportunistic host of his favorite TV show, to help him take down Jerry and his guardian.
