Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) discovers that a enigmatic neighbor, Jerry (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. The story unfolds predictably, the action is average and the scares are non-existent.

While it’s made with energy and a compelling cast, nothing about this remake is worth the effort. Look for a cameo by Chris Sarandon (the vampire in the original version).

GAY ANGLE: The two leading hotties bare a bit of flesh, but you have to sit through the whole movie. Meanwhile, wimpy David Tennant prances around shirtless in several scenes.

Jerry Williams reviewed movies for WTVR-TV for 14 years and for Style Weekly for 10 years. When he launched his own website in 1998 at TVJerry.com, he took his reviews to the Internet. Through those hundreds of reviews, Jerry kept his sexual orientation muted. So, he's excited to be adding "gay angles" to his postings for GayRVA.com.
