Adrenaline? But yeah I agree it was a very unlikely scene.

I wanna see it again. Will use my cineworld pass next week. It's rare I have such a feeling like this, I enjoy it when good films are released.

Sometimes there's a series of films I like that come out in quick succession. Fright Night may or may not be one of them.

I didn't think the movie was that funny! yes it had its moments but it isn't a film once seen i would want to watch again. Might be due to be not being in the best health at time of viewing 5/10

I'm one of the few people who didn't think this was great. The movie had its moments especially in the second half but I just didn't find it as amusing as others did. I preferred it to Bridesmaids which I thought was a pretty average movie as well. I probably just don't understand this type of humour!
I loved Charlie Day though!
6/10

I had tickets for Wood Green Vue last night but finished work late and got there at 6.30 exactly, luckily they were still cheerily letting people in and we still managed to get decent seats. The film started a little late, probably at about 6.35/40 and later people were still able to get seats - it only got about 80% full. Glad I didn't manage to get tickets for Greenwich (which would have normally been my first choice) because I doubt I would have got in. I would have been cutting it close to get to the O2 in time. Sorry to hear some of you were turned away.

Wonder if Sky were issuing tickets based on the numbers that could fit in the superscreen, but as that was not available (are they still refurbishing that area?) it meant that they were very over subscribed, even when showing it in two smaller screens. Glad some of you managed to get vouchers though.

Like someone said, I wish I hadn't seen the trailers for this as they really showed all the best jokes (as they should) so it meant that I had very high expectations. Definitely wasn't disappointed but I was expecting a lot.

Many laugh out loud moments and I found most, if not all the characters really funny. And there were quite a few stars, even in smaller roles which was surprising. Like others have said, a special mention has to go to Charlie Day. I also liked Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. I felt like some others were underused, but that may have been because they used very familiar faces in relatively minor roles.

Very crude in places but I did enjoy it - 8/10 for me.
