Michael P Removing the gothic charm and high stakes—Fear is not existent and creepy, rugged small town charm doesn’t exist. Removing these important elements removes the beauty and charm of the story of ‘Salem’s Lot. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Celia M Tuned in with anticipation but turned it off after 35 minutes. Scarier things in my son’s bedroom! This film fell flat and did not do King justice imo. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review Alvina R I absolutely loved this version of Stephen King 's Salem's Lot! From the very beginning music ; Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot, it brought me back to 1974, twelve years old and reading Kings book. With my young impressionable mind and curiosity I was glued to that book and read it over and over again. Pullman, (Ben) was great , convincing, without over acting. All the actors were great, and honestly invested into thier role. Books and film are never identical but this movie was a fantastic thrill, and pretty close to the book. I was especially grateful that there wasnt excess gore and blood. We don't all appreciate gross violence and terror, our imagination can do the rest. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Curtis L I've read the book a few times. Yes, it misses some of the plot points, but if you're wanting a spooky vampire movie this is worth a watch. I don't understand the bad reviews, I found it perfectly enjoyable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review stephen b Seems to miss out on a lot of the details but converting the book to a two hour movie. It makes up for it by making the big moments count, pulling off the scary scenes quite well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review K T When a movie is as maligned as this one was with years-long setbacks, you anticipate that it will be terrible and this was not terrible, but not much more than that. I did actively laugh at the absurd morgue scene, which I felt was well-executed. Pullman does the best he can with what he's given, but it's not much. B-rate horror wrapped around one of King's weaker works is worth watching if you're interested, but not worth seeking out. It's particularly hard given how many good King adaptations have come out recently that really make this one worse by comparison.
