Fright Night (Steelbook)

Product Information

Because violence had to be implied rather than shown, filmmakers were forced to be doubly creative with the camera, and special-effects gimmicks were used only when necessary, often reserved for the latter half of the movie.

For more about Fright Night 4K and the Fright Night 4K Blu-ray release, see Fright Night 4K Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on October 12, 2022 where this Blu-ray release scored 4. Fright Night playfully opens with the sounds of seduction playing over the camera’s slow track through a suburban neighborhood before zeroing in on a particular window. The video appears to be someone’s home movie, shot with a single camera from the audience, using the camera’s built-in microphone. The comedy aspects shine through owing to sharp writing and a game cast of both seasoned veterans and talented newcomers.And I’m not just talking about the typical legacy features ported over from a previous DVD or Blu-ray bow.

The cult comedy-horror favorite moves into the Ultra HD neighborhood sporting a sleek and gorgeous HEVC H. For this UHD edition, Sony has rolled out an awesome collection of new and legacy bonus features, all of which are spread across the two accompanying Blu-ray discs. Given that I’m not as swayed by the technical aspects, I wouldn’t personally upgrade on the basis of the upscaled resolution alone. If there is ever a poll for the greatest ever Blu-Ray releases in years to come its going to hard to not include EUREKA's release of Fright Night.Must-own limited edition SteelBook packaging with an in-depth mix of over 13 hours of existing and new special features. Next is an extended set of vintage materials that includes the film’s electronic press kit; the English and Spanish music videos for the J. Another storyboard-based featurette draws comparisons between original storyboards and clips from the feature, showing the evolution of some of the effects sequences from the page to the screen. While this doesn’t have a bombastic soundtrack, the audio track helps create an immersive experience for FRIGHT NIGHT, especially a nightclub sequence. Peter Vincent is a former actor, best known for his Van Helsing-type roles in Hammer Studios-style vampire movies, many of which play regularly on Fright Night.
