10 Horror Movies That Aren’t As Bad As Everyone Says

10. Fright Night

1985's original Fright Night was an agreeable, funny, and surprisingly scary story of a paranoid teenager who discovers his new neighbour is a vampire and struggles to defeat the charming bastard via the help of his new girlfriend Amy and his dorky friend Evil Ed.

It's an imperfect but fun film, from Spider-man namesake/corny horror legend Tom Holland, and one which wasn't beloved by critics upon its initial release.

However, the originally frosty critical consensus didn't stop critics from complaining when the film was remade in 2011, with many reviews bemoaning the new film's "unoriginality", whilst conveniently not addressing the original film's reception.

Of course, 2011's Fright Night is actually a blast despite the negative reviews.

This fun, scary remake was early evidence of I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie's promise as a filmmaker and acts as evidence that many critics don’t seem to even watch horror remakes before claiming they’re terrible.

With a stellar cast including a scary Colin Farrell, a hilarious David Tennant, and the always-welcome addition of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, this one also benefits from some stellar teen romance chemistry between romantic leads Imogen Poots and the late Anton Yelchin.
