What We’ve Been Watching
A collection of other things we’ve been watching this week. This week Josh has been discovering some new TV shows and revisiting all of the “Halloween” films. David is making his way through the “Star Wars” Blu-Ray box set.
Feature Film Review
‘Fright Night’ directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Marti Noxon based on the 1985 film by Tom Holland. It stars Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tennant, Imogen Poots and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
A remake of the 1985 original, teenager Charley Brewster guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent, a self proclaimed vampire killer and Las Vegas magician, to help him take down Jerry. Source: Anonymous on IMDB
Our Verdict: Must see horror/comedy film that captures the flavour and tone of the original 1985 film but then makes it something new and original. Great stuff.

Lists of Five
This week our Lists of Five: Five of Our Favourite Horror Characters. It doesn’t matter about plot or quality, every film has that one stand out character that you love. Here are five of our favourites from horror films.
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.
