ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Senior
Charley 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— yet no one, including Charley’s
mom (Toni Collette), seems to notice! After witnessing some very
unusual activity, Charley comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a
vampire preying on his neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone that
he’s telling the truth, Charley has to find a way to get rid of the
monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the
comedy-horror classic.

Rosenzweig, with screenplay written by Marti Noxon from a story by Tom
