C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore A Return to Salem's Lot uses the vampire movie as a way to explore the infestation of the USA by decidedly un-American entities.

Landon J Camp lovers will enjoy. Cheesy, fun, great effects, and a satisfying ending make it worth the watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Mina E. M I love it love this movie 🍿 A Return to Salem's Lot brings nostalgia back memories when I watch it in my childhood I as 9 years old... even better my friend Tara Reid comes out in this movie .. 🥰🔥🍿🖤it cool movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Presten S. P The actor who should have been paid the most to be in this unwatchable piece of phlegm is the woman who showed her tits. And it's not that I'm a misogynist, it's that that literally was the only watchable part of this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely horrible movie. There was some entertainment value in how bad some of the acting and writing was and how nonsensical some of the scenes were. If you're looking for a movie to laugh about how embarrassing it must have been for everyone involved, this is the movie you want. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Maeve L Couldn’t finish it. Basically unwatchable. And I’ve always prided myself on finishing even bad movies. Just in case. Gotta be the worst bad movie I’ve seen in a very long time. Absolutely nothing redeemable about this pile of p*op. What a stinker Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Tim M So shoddy that you'd think it were made for TV, A Return to Salem's Lot is a campy, laughable sequel in name only. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
