Amanda F The acting was so-so; not terrible, but certainly nothing to write home about. But what really lost me was the plot's pacing. There was nearly zero character development and everyone signed on to the idea that vampires were taking over the town within seconds or minutes of being told. Specific actions or decisions made by the character made it feel like we, as the audience, were missing details. I suspect this is due to a failed attempt to consolidate nearly 700 pages of Stephen King's detailed narration into a sub-two-hour movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Sankalp good S It's a good film with good casting acting direction nd story it's gives a good Fun to watch entry i definitely like the protagonists performance r great 👊♥️😃👏 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Bobby S I now understand why Spielberg won’t let Universal touch Jaws. Nothing can match the magic of the original. Salams Lot needs to be left dead and buried. So here’s what I think happened the director promised a lavish two parter signed on but miscast their leading man who couldn’t carry the picture so it was cut down to single theatrical release to claw back costs of production. The pictures not a total loss with a wonderful supporting cast who carry the picture, some strong set pierces from the battle between mark and Mike, the return of mrs Glick and the ultimate Karen Mrs Norton it stands up for a time. Overall the film lacks pace and the insidious dread of the original. I actually went back and watched Tobe Hooper original straight after and it’s a triumph, never to be matched. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Matt S This movie is very disappointing. I really enjoyed the book when i was younger and was looking forward to seeing this. Its terrible. I woukd recommend finding something else to watch. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Audience Member Do not listen to haters! I never review on RT like some little internet troll, but I wanted to help ratings because this move was an awesome vampire movie! Super creepy. We loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie was awesome! It captured the vintage classic 70s/80s look and the acting was great. It wasn't that scary but I can let it off as the story was phenomenal. The characters we're likeable. Mark Petrie was my favorite character in this and he did not disappoint, he was a beast in this movie! I would 100% recommend if you are a Stephen King fan.
