History YMMV / FrightNight2011

* EvilIsSexy: Jerry is a monster but he's played by the incredibly good-looking and charismatic Colin Farrell and oozes hypnotic charm in almost every scene he's in.

* {{Squick}}: David Tennant's long-winded improv about his leather pants in the HilariousOuttakes reel.

** The score, very similar at times to a score one would hear throughout a monster movie from the 1980s.

* HesJustHiding: In universe it is unclear if Adam and his family were turned or no. They aren't visible with the vampires at the end but he did have a bigger role in the original script.

* ThoseTwoActors: Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots later reunited to star in Film/GreenRoom, although as FireForgedFriends instead of love interests.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Evil Ed]]'s death scene. The fact that [[spoiler: he]]'s portrayed more sympathetically in this one really dosen't help.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:
** The score, very similar at times to a score one would hear throughout a monster movie from the 1980s.
** [[Music/JayZ "99 Problems"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsP5qlWtes in country blues style]] is surprisingly catchy.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The vampire teeth, the final showdown, and many others. On the more technical side, there's the elaborate long take during the highway chase, with the camera moving in-between the car seats and characters. It owes a lot to ''Film/ChildrenOfMen'', but it's still well done.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Jerry Dandridge]] stands in stark contrast to the [[Film/FrightNight1985 original]] film's [[AffablyEvil charming and likable monster]]. The film opens with Jerry having slaughtered a family, including the teenage son, out of suspicion the boy was spying on him. Jerry reveals himself as a savage predator who kidnaps and feeds on people, keeping them locked up in his private [[CannibalLarder larder]]. When Charlie Brewster tries to rescue a woman Jerry held hostage, Jerry had been toying with them both and had already turned her, letting her die in the sunlight solely to mess with Charlie. He's more than happy to tear the throats out of innocent bystanders and turns Charlie's girlfriend into a vampire in front of a helpless Charlie, and later mocks him as he makes out with her. While Dandridge in the original held a certain elegance, the remake's version is nothing more than a savage, sadistic predator.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice Vampires from the Mediterranean, huh?]]

** He does shoot at Jerry.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The score, very similar at times to a score one would hear throughout a monster movie from the 1980s.

* EvilIsSexy: Jerry, who's played by the handsome Creator/ColinFarrell, vamps on basically anyone.

* HoYay: Peter tells Charley he's gonna "pop his cherry" and [[spoiler:even kisses him when Charley defeats Jerry for good.]]
** When Evil Ed [[spoiler:attacks Charley and is practically lying on top of him in an attempt to bite him]], he says, "Is this getting weird for you? 'Cause I'm feeling a little homo right now!"
*** Especially with Evil Ed taunting Charley about his new vampire senses. He can hear him breathing, he can ''feel'' him nearby.

* DoubleStandard: Charley gets thrown out of a club for being underage. When he tries to alert the bouncer to the fact that Jerry is about to give Amy his blood, the bouncer only notes that the girl who is also clearly underage must be enjoying making out with a much older guy.

* EvilIsSexy:
** Jerry, who's played by the handsome Creator/ColinFarrell, vamps on basically anyone.
** Creator/JaimeMurray plays a vampire in the DirectToDVD sequel. Gratuitous skinny dipping, blade licking, and LesbianVampire tendencies to be expected.

* EvilIsSexy: Jerry, and later [[spoiler:Amy]].

* EvilIsSexy: Jerry, and later [[spoiler:Amy and Peter]], with the latter one being a brief moment as [[spoiler:Peter]] was in still in the process of turning.

* FetishFuel: David Tennant in leather pants. ''Oh my''....

** [[JayZ "99 Problems"]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsP5qlWtes in country blues style]] is surprisingly catchy.
