25 Fright Night

Director: Craig Gillespie
Starring: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and David Tennant

If this 1985 cult classic remake doesn’t grab you at the mention of David Tennant then you should at least invite this movie into your home because of its gory, semi-erotic fun! It is a Walt Disney production, after all. What could be more wholesome than a sexually experimental teenager living next door to a vampire who wants to rip everyone’s throats out? Of course there are deeper metaphors embedded in the film to give it a little more substance, like the dangers of sex in sin-city, and the nod to the economic crisis that lead to homeowners and residents abandoning the town once everything had been sucked dry. But who the hell wants to be concerned with all of that when David Tennant is strutting around without a shirt on and hot chicks everywhere are getting sniffed and then drained by Farrell? Don’t worry parents, the little bit of nudity we get is very tasteful.

Best moment: Every scene David Tennant is in.
