So, we have a title advertised as Fright Night 2 implying that it is a sequel to Fright Night, a cult classic from 1985 which was given a relatively successful remake treatment in 2011. Both of which told a near identical story with near identical timing and plot points with near identical characters. So surely, a sequel would mix things up a little and tell a different story following a different formula, right? Nope. In fact, it's not a sequel in any respects as we see the return of the EXACT SAME characters from the previous incarnations of Fright Night. Even those who were killed off. We follow the EXACT SAME story structure and see the EXACT SAME plot events happen at the EXACT SAME time points they have before. This film is a blatant insult to fans of Fright Night and I would not be surprised they just took the script from one of the previous films, brushed the dust off and called it a day. If you have any love for Fright Night, then make sure you pass on this cinematic abomination.
