Colin Farrell is Suitably Creepy in New Fright Night Clip

We’ve already seen the trailer, but now the first clip from DreamWorks Pictures’ Fright Night, starring Colin Farrell and Anton Yelchin, has arrived online, thanks to MTV.
You can check it out using the player below.
In Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic, senior Charlie Brewster (Yelchin) finally has it all going on: he’s running with the popular crowd and dating the most coveted girl in his high school. In fact, he’s so cool he’s even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right—but everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself.
Farrell’s take on the character of Jerry Dandrige seems perfectly updated for a modern audience. In the scene below, he’s clearly toying with Charlie Brewster, leaving little about predatory intentions to imagination.
Fright Night opens in theaters on August 19.
