Mysterious Jared Martin (Peter Stebbings) moves in next door to the Loren Hansett (Nina Dobrev). Her little brother Kyle is taken with this motorcycle riding newcomer. When a prostitute goes missing, she recognizes her from his house. She suspects that he's a werewolf and her friend Angie (Melanie Leishman) calls the cops. The cops do very little about it. When Angie and her boyfriend get killed, she tries to tell the police detectives but nobody believes her. The only help is the hormone-filled Steven. She also tries to get the help of TV personality Redd Tucker (Kevin Sorbo) to battle the evil beast.I'm a fan of Fright Night, and I love the first half of this movie. This is lower budget fare, but it dealt with that well until the action starts with Kevin Sorbo. The costume makeup is bad. The action is horrible. The CGI is passable for a TV movie. Sorbo is playing the comedic role but he's not good enough as a comedian. It is all downhill after the fight in the gun shop.

There're gruesome killing going around, and a girl suspects that her next door neighbor is a werewolf.Loren (Nina Dovrev) suspects that her next door neighbor is a werewolf, and is responsible for all the killing that going around. He has a dog that's also a werewolf. Loren goes shopping for a crossbow to protect herself with her self proclaimed boyfriend. At the store Redd, an ex TV host/adventure hunter is giving a seminar. Loren's next door neighbor's dog turns into a werewolf in the store, and her boyfriend gets bitten by the werewolf, and turns into werewolf himself. If the original werewolf is killed before midnight, the curse will be undone, and her boyfriend will turn back to normal. Will Loren and Redd be able to pull this off ?The plot is simple, but with some good special effects, and comedy, this movie keeps the audience interested to the end. Kevin Sorbo who played Hercules appears as the hunter. Not particularly a masterpiece, but not a bad production either. It's a solid middle of the road horror adventure comedy that can stand on its own. Nina Dovrev puts in a great performance as the main character. It's better than many werewolf movies than those made in the past, and worth seeing.

This is cheap and cheerful. It is also completely unoriginal - everything in it is something you will have seen elsewhere (particularly in the original Fright Night, from which it draws the idea of enlisting a celebrity whose screen persona has specialised in hunting a particular type of monster).But the budget isn't a major problem, because it does very well with the limited resources it has.And, above everything else, I liked it because it was FUN. It has a light, sprightly script, the young cast plays for all they are worth while remaining true to their characters, Kevin Sorbo subtly sends himself up, and Nina Dobrev projects an innocent sexiness which is most alluring.This is a fine example of how enjoyable a movie can be made with relatively meagre resources.

For a Sci-Fi(I'm sorry, SyFy:)movie this was a pretty good amount of fun...if you dig 1.werewolf movies 2.corny horror and/or sci-fi movies you will enjoy this. It had a good amount of humor and didn't even bother to try and take itself seriously. The acting was decent and the characters were familiar archetypes, the effects weren't horrible(but they weren't stellar either), and it was just fun. Just remember it's a Sci-Fi flick so shut off your higher brain functions and enjoy...it's got werewolves!:) Lately Sci-Fi has been the "Disaster of the Week Channel" and totally veered away from monsters and creepy stuff, so this was nice to see...
