**SPOILERS!!!!**
This movie starts with an opening scene of horror as we look upon some of the dead and a boy trying to hide under the bed beside his fathers corpse and trying to load a gun. Short scene, the boy is discovered. Let's remember this later.
After this, the movie actually starts. Our young hero Charlie Brewster is waking up on his way to school where he gets a ride from his hot girlfriend and her hot friends in a convertible. In this version of Fright Night Charlie has abandoned all of his old geeky friends and the games of his past to become part of the cool kids club in hopes to keep his girlfriend Amy. He is briefly teased about getting a mocha instead of coffee in the morning but they all laugh it off and he seems to be fitting in just fine and everyone goes to class. There are a few absences. (People not going to highschool! The shock!) Well one of his oldest friends who Charlie is trying to detach himself from thinks there is a pattern that points to Charlie's new neighbor as a vampire.

Jerry, the vampire. Of course that makes sense. Charlie doesn't think so. Jerry has just moved in and seems to be an all around nice guy. Night construction worker. Polite. Handsome. After listening for a moment Charlie goes to blow him off until (lets call his friend Ed since I forgot his name) threatens to black mail him if they don't break into one of the missing kids homes after school.
Well they do sneak into the home and find nothing except a good reason to get into a fight and declare their friendship over. At this point Charlie goes home and his friend attempts to leave. Charlie arrives safe at home however Ed starts getting harassed by a bully from school and jumps a fence to get away from him. He runs for a few moments before running into Jerry of all people. He and Jerry converse where Jerry is convinced it doesn't matter that Ed told people he is a vampire. Then we see Ed fall into a pool where Jerry goes for a snack.
The next day Charlie notices that he is absent as well from school and starts to feel a bit bad about the way he acted. So like a good friend he goes to his house, lies to Ed's parents about having seen him, and then goes to steal all his vampire research where he finds video evidence that Jerry is a vampire.
Of course Charlie being a teenager finds this out at the expense of being laid. So his angry girlfriend leaves and Charlie goes to see an expert. Peter Vincent is an alcoholic vampire expert/ fraud depending on how you look at it. If you want to flash back to the dead family in the intro of the movie, that boy that was hiding was Peter. He doesn't believe in fighting vampires, only escaping them. However he is rich with an ridiculous arsenal of vampire fighting gear even if at first he throws Charlie out. He comes around. Later when Amy and Charlie go back to him in comes Ed. Ed was changed by Jerry but that doesn't last long before Charlie kills him with the help of Amy.
Fast forward a bit because we all know where this is going. There is some fighting and running and then woe is Charlie, Amy gets kidnapped. Peter is still be reluctant about physically helping but he comes around like I said and they go to kill Jerry with a stake blessed by St. Michael to turn Amy back. Its in this little bit that you find out Jerry killed Peter's family. Oh my. They rough house in Jerry's basement for a bit with a few of his other minions before Charlie kills him and then we do a slight time skip. Everyone still alive is ok. Amy is turned back into a human. Amy finally get to sleep with Charlie which she has been trying to do for half a movie and life moves on with them more aware and better people.
I know some parts of this make it sound awful but if I wrote enough to give this movie justice and tell you every thing that happened I could write a small novel. Like I said, take it with a grain of salt. Realize this is a drastically different movie than the first one and enjoy yourself.
