Fright Night Blu-ray Review

Score: 56

from 4 reviewers

Review Date:

The "Fright Night" Blu-ray 3D release delivers strong sound and some impressive 3D effects, but suffers from overly dark scenes and sparse supplements—recommended only for a rental or the 2D version.

The Blu-ray of 'Fright Night' delivers a mix of stunning daytime 3D scenes with excellent depth and clarity, contrasted by nearly unwatchable dark scenes due to significant detail loss and black crush, despite utilizing native 3D with AVC for 2D, MVC for 3D, and maintaining a resolution of 1080p24.

Audio: 65

The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1-channel soundtrack for "Fright Night" presents excellent dialogue clarity and dynamic range but suffers from front-heavy sound design and minimal surround channel utilization, limiting its immersive potential in a typically atmospheric horror context.

Extra: 51

The extras on the 'Fright Night' Blu-ray are largely underwhelming, offering a limited selection of short featurettes and deleted scenes, with notable omissions like a director's commentary and a thorough making-of documentary.

Movie: 61

The 2011 remake of 'Fright Night' modernizes the original with a strong cast and effective plot, though it suffers from some forgettable characters and a lackluster 3D experience. The Blu-ray offers excellent 2D transfer and adequate DTS HD Master Audio, but its 3D visuals and extras fail to impress, making the 2D version the better choice for viewers.
