Robert P @Superbad Sep 16, 2026 Salem's Lot = a *3.5* star Movie! See more Ola G @Ollie1972 Sep 6, 2026 Seen so many praising reviews of the miniseries "Salem's Lot" from 1979 over the years and it's been on my to see list for an eternity it seems. The original broadcast reviews for "Salem's Lot" were largely positive, with critics praising the miniseries's atmosphere, cinematography, Hooper's direction, and scares. And I can only agree to that, however seeing it in 2026, the film itself feels of course slightly dated, but it does the job as a horror feature. Great cast in David Soul, James Mason, and the lovely Bonnie Bedelia in the main roles. Funnily enough the scene that actually gave me a proper jump scare, was when Ned Tebbets suddenly jumped out of Ben's closet in his room! : ) As I haven´t red the book, I think Kurt Barlow´s appearance was just perfect from a horror perspective. I liked it in general. Maybe I will have a look at the 2024 version as well at some point. See more Rob G @Googanaba Aug 18, 2026 Saw this as a kid and it scared the crap out of me. Now, all these years later, nobody can still make a version that tops this little TV mini series though many have tried. Forget all the remakes, this is the only version that matters. See more Edgar R @elliot_ducs Jun 28, 2026 Esta película no me aburrió en ningún momento, soy fan de Stephen King y esta película me encanto, su ritmo lento y tenso la verdad es impactante, si acostumbras mucho ver películas de acción esta película no te gustara porque se toma su tiempo para generar el ambiente tan tenso del pueblo, el vampiro "Barlow" no es lo principal en la historia, no es el "Jefe final" por así decirlo, la película se centra en ver como el pueblo se va convirtiendo en vampiros, y Barlow no aparece hasta tarde porque eso no es el centro de la película, la película no necesita al vampiro mas peligroso para dar miedo, sino que utiliza la tensión del ambiente para lograr darnos miedo, vemos poco a poco lo que esta pasando hasta que llega al punto final donde conocemos a Barlow, la verdad que es una gran película 10/10 See more Erin M @Mightymotes May 2, 2026 I didn’t realize it was a tv mini series, and as a result was thinking there were too many scenes of different townsfolk being attacked. Now that I’m aware it was a series ,that makes me feel better about some parts dragging on at a slower pace! Great acting and scares galore and good story are all part of this horror classic!! I liked the ending too. See more Ed B. @EdLee Apr 22, 2026 Salems lot (1979) is one of my favorite Stephen King adaptations of all his books. The casting spot on. David Soul & James Mason play their roles very well. Supporting cast perfect. Especially the Monster. As well as the Glick Brothers. Setting and photography is perfect for this tale. I watch at least once a year.. See more Read all reviews
