Dallas H @FozzieMcFly 5d Is this yet another movie in which Lewis "Bob" Pullman briefly looks sad or lonely? Maybe it's just a coincidence with his movies I've watched so far. This adaptation of Salem's Lot is decent. I haven't read the book yet, but I've been meaning to. The major issue I had with this movie is that the color grading pushed the contrast and color palette so far that it became aggressively apparent as the chaos of the vampire infestation began to unravel. The shadows are very precisely black and specifically placed on the screen. The vibrancy of the hues, such as the warm tones of the sun and sunset or the soft tones of blue, is dialed up with such intensity that these colors are practically bleeding off the screen. It was just too much. See more Rob G @Googanaba Aug 18 I wanted to bad to like this. Salem's Lot is among my top 3 Stephen King novels. After over 50 years, nobody has still made a film that does the story justice (just like King's The Stand). In fact, only the 1979 TV mini series comes close. If you are going to watch any adaptation of Salem's Lot, do yourself a favor and ditch the remakes and find the 1979 version.

The story follows Bem Mears, a writer that goes back to Jerusalem's Lot to search for inspiration for his next book while closing old wounds – until he stumbles upon a town overwritten by vampires. Although, in the book, character Ben is interesting and King, as often, does a great job developing him, the overall story itself is old-fashioned and cliched, both in the novel and in all adaptations. In 2026, what was the point of this adaptation? Probably love. But then again, Gary Dauberman – newbie Director, definitely not a newbie writer – does a great job in this adaptation, a remarkable soundtrack, great nostalgic vibes. Salem's Lot 2024 delivers for fans of King's work, it slightly flops as a standalone horror flick – still, the soundtrack is super cool.

Also not scary at all See more V M @Character Aug 4 Classic Vampire adaptation of the original. Nothing special. Just entertaining when you’re bored.

I didn’t even finish the movie its currently still playing, im on a plane but still this movie is ridiculously unserious, the characters lack emotions… there is literal vampires and the characters just seem to act as if thats normal. Not to mention the one black kid with bigger balls than the whole cast combined.. bro found out there was vampires and was like "…I guess I gotta kill Barlow now…" like what. Your friends died, your parents died. Bruh See more Read all reviews
