Fright Night 2 (2013)

I don't know why they called this movie Fright Night 2. The characters are there: Amy, Charlie, Evil Ed, Peter Vincent & Gerry (Instead of Jerry) Dandridge. But none of the events of the previous movies have apparently ever taken place. When I saw this movie even existed out there I thought, maybe they were doing the sister story line from the original Fright Night Part 2, but no. This movie is a completely stand alone film, but with the same characters, in name at least as the rest of the franchise.

If you can get past all that. It was a pretty decent (though cheesy) vampire film. The story was interesting, pulling from the legend of Elizabeth Bathory. Some of the dialogue was pretty bad but overall I actually enjoyed it. It doesn't come anywhere near the others in the franchise but as a stand alone straight-to-video kind of vampire movie, it's wasn't that bad. A few spots didn't make sense but overall I'd give it a B+.
