Salem's Lot

This remake of the 'Salem's Lot' mini series (1979) was a great idea but it ultimately came up a little short, particularly on run time.
This is another great Stephen King story that hasn't been successfully adapted to film yet, there was a previous attempt with the sequel 'A Return to Salem's Lot' (1987); the miniseries was also remade in 2006.
Despite it's flaws, like a lack of character development and a rushed pace, the film is definitely worth a watch if you crave Vampire flicks.
The atmosphere created is excellent, the look of the vampires is a really cool mix of retro and modern, complemented by an eerie score.
Maybe in the future this film will get a remake that nails it, but we can still enjoy this decent attempt until then.
Features Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Alfre Woodard, John Benjamin Hickey, Bill Camp, Jordan Preston Carter, Nicholas Crovetti, Spencer Treat Clark, William Sadler, Pilou Asbæk, and others.
