This may be decent. Had a vhs of the original I wore out as a tot. Funny that Marcy was the love interest in the movie, and such a hard core butch in her Married with Children days.

This is gonna be terrible. I love the original movie, the makeup and effects were great and the werewolf transformation scene after Peter Vincent kills Evil Eddy was fantastic. I just know this is gonna be dumbed down and CGI.

And as much as I love David Tennant, I really think they are going the wrong way with his portrayal of Peter as a badass vampire killer rather than an aging actor.

David Tennant, that's enough to get me to give it a shot.

CHUD.com isn’t the best movie website in the world but it’s damn good!

Caught this after Final Destination 5 (btw if you're a FD fan, GO SEE 5! Worth it!) Damn good vampire flick, Colin Farrell is just fucking ridiculous as a bad guy.

They showed the original on like channel 5.2 on Sunday afternoon! I wanted to catch it.

But I was at the theater watching The Help. I'm a good friend!

fucking awesome movie.

I saw three movies this weekend at the theater and this was far and away the best.

I thought it was great! very entertaining and Fogell was fun to watch

I'm glad I didn't see that trailer before watching the movie. It gives away too much, IMO

Fans of the original (which is a fantastic vampire film btw, even though it is from the 80s it still holds up pretty well), how does it compare?

8/24/2011 9:04:57 AM

there is no comparison to the original

NONE

8/24/2011 10:27:27 AM

Well I figured as much, I was just wondering if it was a decent homage.

8/24/2011 11:14:07 AM

in my opinion, it was a completely different movie with the same name

I didn't think it was all that great

Saw it for the first time on 5.2 the other day. When they had Marcy in that makeup that is show in the pic above my wife and I were laughing out loud. I guess you had to be really young when you saw it the first time in order to like the original. I couldn't tell if they were trying to be campy and failed or if they were trying to be serious and failed.
