Avindu G Vampire the childhood nightmare from VHS rises up again to remind you of the years passed by. Movie sets a firm grip by starting off with timid targets smilar to King's fabled clown. Stephen's writing on cultural shocks is amazing. How tragedies hit quite neighborhood how that trauma transform the community is portrayed very well. Great work by the cast and veterans adds an essential seasoning for the story. Despite the tech improvement the special effects were classical and so were the scares. Great audio effects to reverberate munching and slurping while country music takes us back. There's not a lot that's new but Salem's lot is worth checking out. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review L S Its a pretty shoddy story to begin with tbh, but this remake makes a really good stab at making it as schlocky and fun as it should be. No great shakes here, but certainly worth a look if you live the genre. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Gabriel W 80er" Jahre Vampirfilm. Endlich "echte" Vampire. Die Vampire in Salems Lot, sind wie Geister. Sie sind alles andere als Albern. Sie sind sehr gut in Szene gesetzt und wirken unheimlich. Wirklich viele Kleinigkeiten, machen diesen Film sehenswert, gerade für die, die gerne mal wieder einen Film aus den 80ern sehen wollten, den es da noch nicht gab. Ob Atmosphäre. Farben. Darsteller. Das typische Stephen King Feeling. Dieser Salems Lot macht zudem auch vieles anders als seine beiden Vorgänger. Ich fand auch neues, was das Vampirgenre erweitert. Zudem gibt es keine ausufernde Theatralik. Die Dinge geschehen ganz einfach. Man kann sich auf viele minimale Wendungen einstellen, oder nicht. Nicht alles was passiert ist Vohersehbar. Vor allen das Setting vom Showdown ist originell. Was ich bemängeln würde, wäre tatsächlich, dass der hier gerne länger hätte sein können, aber das ist wirklich das Einzige. Es ist auch klar, dass manche Kritiker sich bestimmt an der kirchlichen Seite des Filmes stören werden, und der Film evtl. dadurch schlechter ausfällt, aber MmN passt das eben zur Vampirthematik. Dazu hat der Film einige spannende Momente zu bieten, selbst für Abgebrühte. Da weiss Jemand sein Handwerk. Sehenswert. Echt gelungen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Cody W Looks nice but that’s about it. Had they been given time to do this in 2 feature films I think would have changed it drastically. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Roy C I have to say, I enjoyed the film. It’s worth a watch if you enjoy the genre of vampire movies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Joshua G This was horrific to watch and not in a good way. Having read the book, all I can ask is why the f#%k did they change the whole second part of the story? The story is famous and renowned for a reason. The relationships aren’t built or established in anyway that they should be, Matts death is glossed over, Susan’s was meant to be a devastating shock. This adaption was complete trash. Nothing scary or smart about it. Just a complete waste of the £3.50 Amazon took from me. And If this review doesn’t tell you enough, then please believe that the acting is just as bad as the crap I spent two hours watching. Don’t watch this. Stick to the book if you want a proper representation Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
