Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

FlashCallahan A man meets up with his son after a long absence, so they decide to take a trip together. It turns out that he has a legacy at Salem and makes his way there.Oh the nightlife is lovely, but not much goes on in the day....If you ever see this movie, please bear in mind that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the original King TV movie. That was suspenseful, well acted, and most importantly, scary.This is similar in name only, and if you watch it as a comedy, rather than the spine chilling horror it never is, you will have a ball.Moriarty is a lot of fun in his role, but he just plays concerned parent, followed by a man who shouts at old people for no good reason, and then someone who teams up with the oldest action hero ever, to take down the worlds oldest vampire, and their leader who gets so angry, he has to put on a silly mask.But he stays there because he doesn't want his son to turn. After all, they have a great relationship, and his son isn't someone you'd like to leave in the middle of the road because he's obnoxious and acts like a total moron.Tara Reid shows up every now and again, but gets so fed up With everything, decides to get in a coffin which is on fire. And she does it so slowly and so graceful. Literally.If you want ninety minutes of really bad acting, and just a load of unintentional laughs, this will suffice.If you want terror and genuine chills, see the original.

ken2903 I knew it was going to be bad but i had no idea. I tried to keep an open mind and view it without comparing it to Salem's Lot but it was still sh't.The main character kept making some stupid stupid decisions that just didn't make sense. He had such a hard on to write a history/bible for this community of vampires that he just about lets them vampirize his son? I know its implied that he has experience with different cultures but who stumbles across a town of vampires and then lets their teenage son talk him out of leaving?I'm trying to think of something nice to say about it and all i can come up with is that there was a pretty decent pair of vampire bewbs (not Tara Reid) that were shown on two occasions and the Nazi hunter guy was partially interesting.In conclusion, i believe that if RTSL was a dinosaur it would be a lameasaurus Rex.3/10

dsd1 Oh jeez.I sat down one night and watched this on the Friday fright-mare and what a cheesy movie from the freaky 80s.The acting is just fake that you wonder what on earth they were doing in the 80s wasting money on cheap looking scenes. I personally sat down and watched the last 45 minutes of this terrible wasted space. I can't remember what I was doing that I missed the beginning but I was doing something. In the town people with the right intelligence would lock trespassers up but we don't see that here. Michael Moriarity must have gotten laughed at when he played in this. I can't believe he put up with this. People should know better. The vampires in this movie are unrealistic that you just want to turn away from this bad script of a horror night. Never watch anything like this unless you know it is good. I will never watch this ever again due to I will never get back the time they took from me. Start making better remakes people you just have to put your brain to it.

AngryChair Father and son take a trip to Salem's Lot, Maine where they discover that the locals are all vampires - who want the two travelers to write a bible for them.This disappointing theatrical sequel to the excellent 1979 mini-series Salem's Lot has pretty much nothing to do with the original or the novel that it was based on. This film is shamefully flat on scares and the vampires aren't even remotely frightening. For the most part we just get old people running around with plastic fangs in their mouths. Story-wise we get little suspense to sustain the audience.Yet despite these obvious flaws our leading stars do OK performances and there's a fine music score.Even still, this doesn't save this sequel from being poor.* 1/2 out of ****
