Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

philprice-34127 This is my favourite vampire movie (t.v) of all time. Although it may look a bit dated now, the scares are still the same.Widowed writer returns to his childhood town, to write a book about a haunted house. At the same time, a mysterious duo arrive in Salem's Lot. Mr Straker and Mr Barlow.What follows, is a gradual lessening of town folk, plucked from there beds in the middle of the night.Top stuff, with maybe the scariest vampire (Barlow) of all time.Watch!

Smoreni Zmaj Great adaptation of Steven King that is struggling to escape from 3 hours of boring movie. Everyone who knows at least bit of King will recognize his background here, even those who did not read this book or even knew about it. Story is completely Kingish and it's very good. Acting, music, scenography, everything is great. But nevertheless I fell asleep during watching this movie and I had to rewind few times. Story simply does not contain enough material for 3 hours movie. If they took more details from the book 3 hours wouldn't be nearly enough, but when they reduced the book to minimum there was not enough left to fill 3 hours. I suppose they intended to build tense atmosphere slowly and gradually, and maybe in 70's movie was accomplishing that goal, but today, or at least for me, this was extremely boring experience.6/10

gwnightscream David Soul, James Mason, Bonnie Bedelia, Lance Kerwin and Reggie Nalder star in Tobe Hooper's 1979 horror film based on Stephen King's novel. Soul (Starsky & Hutch) plays Ben Mears, a novelist who returns to his hometown, Salem's Lot, Maine to write about a mysterious, old house that may be haunted. He discovers that an evil presence inhabits the house turning the town's residents into vampires one by one. Mason (Heaven Can Wait) plays antique dealer, Richard Straker, Bedelia (Die Hard) plays teacher and Ben's love interest, Susan Norton, Kerwin plays creative, young boy, Mark Petrie and Nalder plays Straker's business partner and vampire, Kurt Barlow. Geoffrey Lewis (Tango & Cash) and George Dzundza (Basic Instinct) also appear. This is a great vampire/horror flick featuring a good cast, great score & creepy make-up effects. I recommend this.

thesar-2 When a movie is terrible, I hear online/podcast reviewers say "I watched it, so you don't have to" and mean: they took the bullet for you. I agree with them, today.28 minutes into the extremely over-long Salem's Lot, I almost gave up. I didn't want to. I've wanted to see what this was all about since I was a kid, especially since I've viewed practically every other Stephen King adaptation. Even a lot of the sequels to said films. But, damn, this one was extremely tough to get through.More than a decade before King novels were turned more into miniseries or even TV series than theatrical releases, King's second book was adapted into a mind-boggling 3-hour miniseries and it felt every bit of that TV-vibe. Quick cuts, commercial timing, low-rent horror…all there. And distracting, too.The movie SHOULD have been in theatres, Rated R and cut to 90 minutes tops from 184 minutes. Literally, there was an easy hour and a half that could've been either cut or condensed to make it effective and work on the big screen. But, that didn't happen. So we got……a movie that was remade many years later as (also Stephen King's) Needful Things, only they replaced the villain and close setting with Nosferatu.Truthfully, there were some scary moments, some decent acting – mostly (only?) by the future sometimes Mrs. McClane, sometimes Ms. Gennaro and the multiple story lines helped keep my interest…occasionally. But, overall, it's totally not worth the three freaking hours.I was just thinking: maybe I should've seen the 2004 remake, instead and saved time. Egad, that's over three hours as well. Forget you.***Final thoughts: Day 9 Movie in the Can! I'm watching a NEW-2-ME horror movie every day of October 2016 and this one fascinated me with the cover/poster since I was such a little one. Plus, as I said above, I wanted to see it just to check it off my King Film List. Well, mercifully, I finally did get the experience behind me and now I don't even need to read the book…already read the superior (story of) Needful Things, anyways.
