Devotees of Tom Holland’s 1985 vampire pic Fright Night , Anton Yelchin would like to allay your fears about Craig Gillespie’s remake of the horror cult classic. The new Fright Night , in theaters today, pays loving homage to the original even as it updates the setting to suburban Las Vegas, turns teen hero Charley Brewster (Yelchin) into a savvy, sneaker-freak cool kid with a hot girlfriend (Imogen Poots), and makes new changes to Fright Night ‘s cast of characters, from the dangerously sexy vampire next door ( Colin Farrell ) to the angry geek “Evil” Ed ( Christopher Mintz-Plasse ) to the drastically re-imagined Peter Vincent (David Tennant), now a Criss Angel-like Vegas magician with a penthouse suit on the Strip.
