Really good ones, in fact, thanks to Richard Edlund. But special effects are not what this movie is about and never do they get in the way of the story. Scripted and directed by Tom Holland, 'Fright Night' stars Chris Sarandon, William Ragsdale, Amanda Bearse and Roddy McDowell. Fright Night' never takes itself too seriously and in the end is just good fun. My kind of horror movie.
Colors are solid and accurate with only a trace of chroma noise here and there.
The image is consistantly sharp and clear with good detail, even in shadow. Brightness and contrast are very good. Those who have only seen this film panned and scanned with the old dark and grainy transfer are in for a treat. The audio is also quite good, though the Dolby Stereo mix is a bit more restrained than many newer films. None the less, Dialog is clear and natural and the score has good depth and range.
