Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots and David Tennant grab their stakes and stock up on holy water ready to do away with a vampiric Colin Farrell in Craig Gillespie’s re-imagining of of 1985’s Fright Night.

It’s that time of the week again where we try and think of something to bicker about late this Friday afternoon. What is it this week?
