There was a time when you could not release a major motion picture without having a music tie-in. Either a song with very pointed and ill-fitting references to the movie's plot or just a music video that crowbars footage from the movie into it. That trend disappeared around the time Will Smith stopped making music (it would have been inappropriate for him to release a rap about The Pursuit Of Happyness), but Kid Cudi & Fright Night are bringing it back.
Titled "No One Believes Me", the song and video depict a world of suburban paranoia and vampiric violence and it's slick, evocatively made stuff. It has a great tone and if this is indicative of the film itself (and it should be, it was shot by Fright Night director Craig Gillespie) then I feel a lot more confident about this particular remake.
Fright Night is released this weekend in the US, will play FrightFest on August 27th and opens wide in the UK on September 2nd.
When he isn't writing for the prestigious site you currently find yourself reading, Andrew is busy either writing for EatSleepLiveFilm or posting pictures of dogs in hats on Facebook. He fell in love with movies after a double-bill of The Empire Strikes Back & Return of The Jedi at the tender age of four. His favourite film is Goodfellas, his favourite director is Martin Scorsese, his favourite actor is Paul Newman. Caught you off guard there, eh? You were expecting Robert De Niro or something.
