Salem's Lot Reviews
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
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.

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.

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
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
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.

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.

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
TNT's four-hour miniseries boasts fine performances, exceptional photography and all the other bells and whistles that mark a great show. All is in place, except for the scary bits. There's nary a fright to be found.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 16, 2020
It develops psychological complexity and a fullness of character that is usually in King's books but rarely makes the transition to screen.
| Jan 16, 2020
The script of ''Salem's Lot'' does justice to the mini-series's effects.
