I thought they were showing the power of seduction the vampire used on her. Sarandon played a tall, dark, handsome, and seductive vampire. Bearse played a young female coming into her sexuality. Seems like that was part of the plot. Regardless, Sarandon and Bearse had great chemistry. A lot is said in the scene where she is bitten. Everything is said with their eyes and their subtle movements. Very well acted and no need to try and look at this film through the #metoo lens. It's a vampire movie. And a great one at that.
At the beginning you can see how Amanda's face lights up when she hears the name Chris Sarandon. You can tell she expected the question "How was he?" and was ready to praise him.

The vampire was 1000 years old in the movie. In his time (10 century) women would marry men when they were 16/17 years old. Even if creepy nowadays, that was the reality. Amy (16/17 years old) reminded Jerry of a long lost love (perhaps from his own time), who might have been around the same age as Amy. And also, the director cast an actor in his early 40s to play Jerry intentionally to depict the age gap between Amy and the vampire and the awakening of her sexuality. In the end It is a horror movie that is supposed to be entertaining
@@MikeG82 no. Should explicitly said he was 1000 years old when Peter and Charlie spilled his blood. The full movie is RUclips . At 41 minutes an 50 seconds
@WeronikaM. That's a very good point you made and I agree people nowadays might think the age gap is creepy but the vampire is from a different time 1000 years ago when it was normal for younger girls to marry much older men 🤣 so we shouldn't just look at it from a human point of view because it's a vampire movie so human rules don't apply here lol 😂
@WeronikaM. You were right on the $$$ as per your commentary about women getting married (usually to considerably older men) when they were in their mid-to-late teens (and sometimes even younger)... but that was a way of life up until not too long ago. For example... a lot of people nowadays make a big deal about Elvis dating Priscilla when she was 14 (which was a big on the younger sider) but she was about 22 when she married Elvis which was well withing the average age women got married back in those days when they were often getting married... and having children... right out of high school.
I applaud her answer. She is very explicit that he was respectful and that she was more than of age at 26 than the age she portrayed. Which is unlike other films like Company of Wolves, which explored similar themes but focused on that entire notion of how to have agency within a young adult's desire and not be taken advantage of by a seductive predatory, experienced and suave older male. However, unlike Fright Night wich used an older actress, Sarah Patterson, Playing rosaleen was very young in COmpany of Wolves. Same for Emmy Rossum in Phantom with Gerard Butler and Patrick Wilson. The entire point in Fright Night is that Jerry is a predator, and has been for centuries, and examining desire and agency and who is in control, and does Jerry at this point have vulnerabilites still? Yes, suprisingly, he does, even though he is consumed by his own power, and feels he has no choice, even though of course he could choose to kill himself or die rather than killing others to live. I saw this film for the first time when I was 13. It opened the door for me to understand I was definitely changing and explored challenging issues girls face, in ways I could understand. Most interestingly, to me as a pre-teen on the cusp of being a teenager, unlike so many other movies, Charlie Brewster plays the usual feminine part of not being believed. We shouldn't pretend that society is all better now or that this sort of thing isn't happening somewhere right now on a metaphorical level. I think it was a good warning moral of the story movie. I think now we are living in interesting times with movies like A Girl Walks Home, flipping the script and showing desire unleashed and the female gaze as well. This sort of scene is filmed in far more explicit terms in other shows like Game of Thrones and etc. What is the big difference now? There are set intimacy coordinators, to ostensibly protect the actors but like HR, protect the studio and etc as well. The good news is, there is still chemistry, so it seems to be working.
LOL! People get freaked out over the dance scene?? Really ? He almost turns her into a vampire for crying out loud.... with a face and jaws that were so horrific ...they used it, superimposed over the house, in all the posters to sell the movie. The dance scene , especially when she realizes he casts no reflection in the club mirrors, was fantastic! A truly great Vampire Film.
Месяц назад
Noticed how he turned in the direction where she was staring at the mirror, just so she couldn't break his trance he casted on her lol
Just to be clear guys. If you're 41 and dancing seductively with a 26 year old girl in a club, you will NOT be arrested! You will not be breaking ANY laws. It isn't sex. And even if it WAS sex, 26 is legal. What in God's name is she talking about?!
I think they were talking about the in the movie, because Amanda's role was to play a 17 year old high school student & Chris was supposed to play a vampire that was like 500 yrs old, so they were asking if it was weird to make that scene, because when you think about it, its an old vampire guy trying to get with a high school girl
@@mordecaijones7559 - Okay, that makes more sense. Only if you actually stop to think about it. I never saw it like that. Just that to him, like in Dracula, she was the reincarnation of his lost love.
She’s walking on egg shells as to not offend anyone in our hypersensitive society that might find the dance scene offensive. He assaulted two bouncers, arrest him for that.
Oh she's just adorable lol but I never really thought about it either...mostly due to to it being horror but also I saw it when i was pretty young and teens were basically grown ups in my child like mind and as an adult I never thought deeper since I had long accepted it but now I'm 34 and I'm wigged out haha
There was a werewolf movie that followed very closely to the Fright Night plot and in it the main baddie actually brought up the age thing - saying that in his time a girl of 16 or so would have already been married and expecting her first child. To be honest, it sort of made it creepy to acknowledge the elephant in the room like that, but we’re dealing with fantasy and supernatural creatures. If going by a numbers game, even dating a senior citizen would be robbing the cradle. 😂
Going back to wwee back when.. 16yo was legal. Back when children were raised and treated like adults. Obviously they're treated like children now, even to the age of 26!
The movie was set and made in California where by 1970 the age of consent was 18. The age of consent is 16 for a partner in the age group now, to get rid of older predators, not for legal sex with older adults unless you're in an impoverished state or one that is going to keep girls from achieving anything in life because their only culturally allowed job is to really have babies. However the loop hole groomer predators usually still take is with parental permission underage minors and child marriage is still legal. The irony today is that vampires are in the churches. Now that would be a good movie.
@@MikeG82 No, the overweight bouncer says "come on" to Amy as he escorts her out of the club, the second bouncer then says in the movie at 01:07:12; "If you want chicken, man you go some place else"
Why are the comments on Ed O'Neill switched off? She did't invite him and David Faustino for her wedding! How come? She is exactly the character she played! A chicken...
Because Ed is a total ass. He proved he couldn't be trusted to act like an adult at her wedding. .she knew it..he proved it and therefore wasnt invited.
@@angrypostmanfilms Her and Ed O'Neill didn't get along in the later years of MWC. I was sad to hear it as they were hilarious together, but it seems that Ed was more at fault. He more or less admitted he was an ass back then. Watch his interview with it, it is quite funny how honest Ed is about the whole thing.
Anybody kno what or where Jerry said tha word Nu'urh...if that's right, What duz tha word mean ?? 🤔 ...I first fig Jerry meant Rise-Up or Kill Them' but since Charlie asked what's it mean, Peter said He's Bluffing!! Hmm, Thoughts 😳???
Charlie’s says “we’ve got him” as in Charlie & Peter have killed Billy & are at an advantage to overpower Jerry…Jerry sees Billy in the background sitting up (at the bottom of the stairs) & says “Do You?” Because they clearly don’t “have him” and goes away…. That’s why Peter says “he’s bluffing” :) it’s like a threat :)
Bummed that you disabled the comments for the disagreement between Amanda and Ed, but from that video, and this one, Amanda is smart but Ed nailed it. She has to be right ALL THE TIME. When you take that approach you will loss people and wreck things that you don't intend to, and no one is right ALL THE TIME.
I disabled that section because of tones of homophobic comments which had nothing to do with the subject. Of course no one has to agree with her - but I don't support people who look down on her for her sexuality or discriminate her for her masculine looks. I won't give them a plattform.
@@homhable I don't believe in judging someone based on how they look, but I guess if it was me I would not try to regulate someone else speech just because I don't believe what they are saying. Typically if what someone is saying is really that bad most people have the intelligence to spot it, and we can use it to judge just how much more work needs to be done.
@@homhable although I don’t think the homophobic comments are right, I’d rather have the positive and negative comments of free speech rather than ban it all together. That’s a big problem nowadays is the censorship of free speech and being cancelled out just because you disagree with someone else’s views. Again I don’t think it’s okay to make fun of anyone but I’d rather have that than to eliminate comments altogether. I was also never a fan of mass punishment, just punish the bad basically. Just my opinion that I’m entitled to.
Michael have to admit that’s quite outrageous I caught shit around Halloween for saying Fright Night wasn’t that great , my point was it was confused about what kind of movie it wanted to be.
The dude is supposed to be a vampire. if we really want to stick with the storyline we have to take into consideration how old he was when he was turned. He honestly doesn't look that old.
I think that was an integral part of the story, though. Is the sweet school girl going to lose all semblance of innocence to the worldly vampire, or stay with her dorky but loved boyfriend? Of course the age difference is creepy! That was the point.
Great Man She meant creep her out now that she thinks the age “difference “ between her and the 500 old man-vampire, which before she didn’t see it that way.
I was 20 and wow, I would have gladly did that scene with Chris. My all time favorite scene.
I thought they were showing the power of seduction the vampire used on her. Sarandon played a tall, dark, handsome, and seductive vampire. Bearse played a young female coming into her sexuality.

Why would anyone look at this through Me Too they are nuts.
This film has nothing to do with “me too.” I don’t understand why that’s even relevant here. It isn’t.
good obersavation. it was a great scene.
Exactly, not relevant, only nutters try to make it so.
Who gives a whoop? That scene is hot as hell.
To be fair, it WAS Chris Sarandon; I'm sure many women would have happily done that dance scene with him, IMO...
