I dont really put unrelated SAW art here but I just really wanna show my Belle art from Fight Night Part 2 because I believe she is criminally underrated.

[Image description: A digital drawing of Charley Brewster from Fright Night Part 2. The lineart is done with a dark brown brush pen and the colouring with alcohol markers. Charley is in the centre of the piece, arms brimming with vampire hunting items like crosses, crucifixes, stakes, and even a shovel. He's looking down to the side with his mouth slightly open and a nervous expression on his face. He's sweating. An arch of roses, connected with one long stem, frames him. Comparatively oversized objects float around him, starting with a bloody stake at the bottom. Above that, there's various crosses, which leads into holy water and garlic cloves. Next to that, there's a crucifix and fake vampire teeth with blood on the fangs. A few bat symbols are littered around. Finally, at the bottom, the quote "vampires aren't real" appears surrounded by a bright sun. Charley is mostly coloured with blue and grey tones, while the background is a warmer yellow with a light red watercolour wash over it.]

I re-watched Fright Night Part 2 (1988)

A lesson in quitting while you're ahead.

The sister of the original vampire from Fright Night seeks revenge on Charlie and Peter Vincent for killing her brother.

Let's start with the plot. It's not a bad one. Peter Vincent is still hosting Fright Night on tv and he's been boasting about actually facing a vampire and winning. We can put together that the original vampires sister sees this and vows revenge, though the script doesn't really connect that dot for us. It's mentioned that the original vampire is believed to have been a serial killer, so maybe the story made national news. Anyway, she's aware that Charlie and Peter killed her brother.

Now, this isn't such a bad plot. If I were writing it, I'd have Peter Vincent find out a vampire was after him and then seek Charlie's help, a reverse of how Charlie and Peter met in the original film. We'd go from there and build on the relationship between the two while watching them fend off a gang of vampire baddies. Instead, this is where the script gets muddy. Charlie has been in therapy and now doesn't believe in vampires and thinks everything from the first film was shared psychosis. An unnecessary plot device that sets off a series of situations where characters go back and forth believing and not believing in vampires and it's a huge boring waste of time. It also manages to separate our characters for a majority of the film and that really lowers the fun we could have had watching them working as a team. We have to wait until the last 20 minutes for them to synch up and that's a shitty way of doing things.

Without the consistent fun of the first film, we start to notice the glaring flaws. The vampire powers are inconsistent from vampire to vampire. The scenes are messy and seem slapped together. Everything feels disjointed and the lack of cohesion is frustrating.

Don't get me wrong, the filmmakers did attempt to go bigger and better and really try to make this a stable franchise. There's a whole gang of vampires this time. One's always going full werewolf, one is dressed like prince on roller skates, there's a henchman who's eating bugs and the lead vampire has some pretty good plans in place to hit Charlie and Peter where it hurts. The ideas are there, but they aren't fleshed out correctly and that ruins things. Essentially the writing sucks.

By an hour in, someone must have pointed out that the movie lacked fun. Suddenly we get a vampire bowling scene, another scene with a silly pudgy vampire psychologist and yet another with a "funny" mental patient. Desperate attempts to get the audience to smile, but so out of nowhere and so awful.

This movie needed to build more on the relationship between Charlie and Peter Vincent and by strengthening that we could have gone forward with yet another sequel. The original succeeds because of it's characters, not just special effects. That's what the filmmakers missed here, an opportunity to move these characters forward. But, they instead chose to redo the original character journeys. Almost beat for beat and in a worse way.

Watching this movie back to back with the original film made the experience a little more fun, but it wasn't really worth the watch.

I don't wanna talk about the director or the actors or the technical aspects. I just want to fix this movie and I can't.
