Reviews

On the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 19% of 349 viewers gave the film a positive rating (as of December 21, 2013).

"While the 2011 'Fright Night' stood out pleasantly from the mass of horror remakes, 'Fright Night 2 - Fresh Blood' joins the never-ending stream of superfluous direct-to-DVD sequels."

- Christoph Petersen, Filmstarts.de

"The film cannot keep up with the absurd comedy of the original from the 1980s or in terms of teen horror with the remake of 2011, but remains a toothless attempt to spread the Elizabeth Barthory myth in a bloody and sexy way."
