Night Fright 2003 Horror Movie Review

Okay, it’s like this.  A super-secret government rocket experiment crashes, but the feds won’t let the local sheriff see it.  Not long after there’s a really nasty murder down on lover’s lane.  Could the two things be connected?  In the meantime, and in spite of the sheriff’s warnings, a group of teenagers decide to have a dance-and-make-out party down at the lake.  Have you ever tried to run from a monster while you are wearing go-go boots?


Released in 1967, NIGHT FRIGHT, also known as FRIGHT NIGHT, is the sort of movie where everybody gets in the car at night, and then we see car traveling in the daylight, and when they get out of the car its night again.  The teenagers aren’t really teenagers, the actors aren’t really actors, there’s no script or plot to speak of, and the monster looks like a cast-off ape costume with a kinda-sorta lizard mask on top.  Sure, John Agar is in it, but his big claim to fame is that he was once Mr. Shirley Temple, and that’s all you can say about him one way or another.


My thought: people who watch this movie have way too much time on their hands, and watching this movie will make that time seem way longer than it already does.  Skip it.
