Martin W Terrible - the original had suspense and slowly evolving dread, the remake is trash TV Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review The Express G Pointless, randomly inept, badly handled, garbled reboot, of a classic frightener, that is hampered by bargain bucket actors, flabby direction, and hackneyed production values! Extravagantly boring, deeply fractured; a disappointing cheap-shot that fails on every level; Stephen King must be spinning in his king size bed right now! Waste of good money. Deplorable. The original series towers above this pointless remake. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Naomi J Disappointing to say the least. Having read Stephen Kings original novel I can say that this does not at all do the story justice. I enjoyed the depiction of vampires and the way they did Barlow. But the rest of the movie fell flat. It was as if they felt they needed to change things or add them to add intrigue and action but then in the moments I expected to be "wowed" there was nothing. They redid the final battle scene to add more action, but the ending is anticlimactic. Beyond my Stephen King loyalism, There was no emotional connection to any of the characters, no depth to the plot, and somehow in a movie about an entire town becoming infested with vampires they managed to completely miss the mark on the rather important "impending sense of doom" that makes the story. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review James E So let's just say why when you had the chance to make this mobie so good and though some changes made I would say are improvments. Liked there were more Vampire scenes. Liked the tree house idea and they switched a few things. Liked they cut some of the boring side stories. Main issues is the the 11 year old was made out to be this kid wear he's not really scared. Just less believable. How does a 11 year old know how to drive the main character whose the writer seems more of a useless idiot at times. And everyone needs a eleven year old to kill the vampires. Some good ideas but would of been better if the adult helped the kid more and kid been afraid a bit more. He just wasn't a believable character. Also like the Vampires glowing eyes and being on the roof. Overall scarier then the original but alot of missed opritunities. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Beck D Where to begin..... this destroyed the story, destroyed the slow burn and the mystery and honestly was a massive disappointment. I hope and pray that one day an R rated version that's far truer to the novel will be released. But this is DEFINITELY not it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Jorge L I was expecting too much from this movie something way more like the book, so disappointed especially in the Barlow, bad copy of the 70s one, the story telling is totally squeezed in there, no mystery, no suspense, and the end is the WORST, if this is one of your favorite movies, don't bother Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
