Arleigh B Nov 19 Considering my age (50s) I have never read the book or seen the 1979 film. This version seems to be almost color-by-numbers. Perfectly passable, no glaring flaws, but predictable and flat. The final vampire battle was thoroughly underwhelming. Meh. See more Michael P Nov 8 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. See more Celia M Nov 3 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. See more Alvina R @vcruz3 Oct 27 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. See more Curtis L Oct 26 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. See more stephen b Oct 19 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. See more Read all reviews
