How did ‘Fright Night’ score for Las Vegas accuracy?

Fright Night

Colin Farrell is a bit upset his Las Vegas-set film scored so low on the Weekly’s accuracy meter.

A vampire watches The Real Housewives of New Jersey. We do love our reality shows. +1

The movie’s “vampire expert” got his degree from “LVSU.” Seriously? -1

In the lobby of the Hard Rock Hotel, the Las Vegas Sun is sold from a rack. The Sun hasn’t been a stand-alone paper since 2005, but we’re happy to see our sister publication getting some big-screen love. -1

A new neighborhood is clustered tightly in the middle of nowhere—not unlike where some Weekly writers call home. +1

A sprinkler waters a front lawn. Come on guys, everyone knows there’s a ban on front-side sod around here. -1

Quote: “Nobody lives in Vegas, they just move on through.” We wish it weren’t true. +1

Quote (in a nightclub): “Do you think any of these people are going to notice [a vampire]?” No, they really wouldn’t. +1

The verdict? One point. Hey, that’s a better score than Mars Attacks! got.
