Chris Sarandon makes an excellent vampire. As a matter of fact, the whole cast works out great and brings life to the storyline -- that of a high school student, Charlie Brewster, that is convinced that a vampire has moved into the house next-door. A series of screams coming from the house over the next few days, and odd comings and goings fuel his suspicions. These are confirmed while spying on  Jerry Dandridge's house with a pair of binoculars. Through Dandridge's bedroom window, he spies his neighbor attempting to bite the neck of a woman -- fangs and claws bared. As Dandridge leans in for the kill, he happens to glance up and notice Charlie watching. From that point on, Charlie's a marked man.
