Salem's Lot Reviews

Donald Sutherland's palpable perversity makes him a dependable henchman a la 'Fright Night'. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 4, 2024

I call it King's Disease: the consistent inability of 온라인카지노추천 and movie projects to capture the creepy grandeur of horror novelist Stephen King's best work.

| Oct 14, 2022

TNT is to be applauded for adapting a great summer read into a fine summer watch.

| Oct 14, 2022

I was pleasantly surprised when the new two-part Salem's Lot, based on the Stephen King bestseller about a town of vampires, spooked me. And it did it the old fashioned way, with genuine scares and classic horror elements.

| Oct 14, 2022

In the grand tradition of Don't-Go-in-There! horror movies... TNT presents a thoroughly enjoyable mini-series remake of the Stephen King vampire tale.

| Oct 14, 2022

Screenwriter Peter Filardi and director Michael Salomon have defied the odds, delivering a four-hour, two-night version of King's vampire-infestation parable that ranks with the best filming of his work.

| Oct 14, 2022

Though time is taken to establish all the town characters and their relationships, everything is laid out so blatantly that it's not so much development as boredom.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 14, 2022

Gross and engrossing, TNT's two-parter that begins Sunday night is downright spooky. It's also more than a little hokey.

| Oct 14, 2022

There's hospitals, Maine and mayhem in the series, like "Kingdom Hospital," but this saga of small-town vampires is much better put together and approaches actual entertainment.

| Oct 14, 2022

On one level, this miniseries has its limits... It can't avoid becoming a nasty horror story. Still, it's a well-crafted one. Mikael Salomon, a gifted Danish director, provided a stylish look and got some understated performances.

| Oct 14, 2022

Mikael Salomon has crafted a slick and stylish-looking production, but compared with King's classic novel, it still doesn't have nearly as much bite.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 14, 2022

King's writing has often been about taking classic genre tropes and making them work anew via a character-based approach, and the new Salem's Lot takes a pretty high rank among the made-for-온라인카지노추천 adaptations of his work.

| Oct 14, 2022

In a fine cast, Braugher is reliably strong, Sutherland enjoyably elegant/sinister and Cromwell believably conflicted. In the lead, Lowe is a bit one-note and hard to warm up to.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 14, 2022

It has more bite than the previous version but still suffers from the trappings of the 온라인카지노추천 movie limitations of its era.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2022

Director Mikael Salomon has assembled a notable cast, gotten his hands on one of the seminal works of vampire horror, and made a botch of the entire thing.

| Jan 16, 2020

Hey, TNT isn't sucking the concept dry -- it's reinterpreting a masterwork. Even though I didn't approach it with a genre fan's enthusiasm, I will allow that this remake offers its share of scares.

| Jan 16, 2020

The presentation of the story just doesn't seem fresh. The familiarity may appeal to King fans, but those expecting an innovative take on a classic vampire tale will be disappointed.

| Jan 16, 2020

The first five minutes of Salem's Lot are great. Well, four minutes. And then Lowe's voice-over kicks in, which essentially starts the poison drip.

| Jan 16, 2020

The new, two-part movie is definitely worse than the original. It's just not particularly scary. Which is a problem for what's supposed to be a horror film.

| Jan 16, 2020

Salem's Lot is no worse than many big summer movies that don't know when to curb the effects. Even so, the miniseries contains more good acting than most ballyhooed blockbusters.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 16, 2020
