Plenty of flirting and sexual innuendo (most of it dealing with a vampire's power to seduce).
Charley and Amy definitely think about having sex. They kiss, and, in one scene, Amy unsuccessfully attempts to seduce him. At the end of the story, they prepare for their first sexual experience.

Story : Senior Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) finally has it all-he's running with the popular crowd and dating the hottest girl in high school. In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But trouble arrives when an intriguing stranger Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right-and everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. After witnessing some very unusual activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that he's telling the truth, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this revamp of the comedy-horror classic
Likes : I completely love this remake of the old 1985s version of fright night, this film had the darkness & the scare factor in it, (Colin Farrell) playing the vampire Jerry he's role suited him playing this cool, mysterious but dangerous alpha vampire was just just awesome, i love the way they got (David Tennant) as the vampire slayer Peter Vincent was just brilliant.(Anton Yelchin) who played chekov in star trek performance as Charley Brewster a young teenage boy caught up in the fight to save he's & girlfriend Amy who is played by the gorgeous (Imogen Poots) was nothing short of spot on.It's story is pretty basic, and somewhat cliché'. I mean come on, a vampire living next door. But the weird thing is, it didn't come off as cliché'. And i think the biggest contribution to that was the pace of the film. Once you get past the first 10 to 15 minutes of the film, which are kind of dull, the movie quickly begins to morph into a fast paced gore fest. And now looking back on it......if it were not rated R, then this movie would have been stupid, and it would've fit in with every other crummy horror remake.
But the aspect that i appreciated the most was the writing. For once, they didn't alter any rules to make their film different. They stuck with what already works, and left it up to the actors to make these vampire rules entertaining. And Collin Farrell did just tha
Dislikes : you just couldn't fault-er this film at all
Overall: if you love the old version of this film your love this new remake, its a must to watch.
Rating : 5 out of 5 stars for horror, 10 out of 10 for performance
