[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 411288, member: 5079"] SALEM'S LOT (2024) Filmed in 2021 and shelved since 2022, the movie should have stayed there. I didn't think it would be possible to make a bad version of this story; there's so much source material to work with. The novel is Stephen King's best and there have been two above average TV adaptations. The movie is abysmal, although I only watched half of it. Although set in the 1970s, the film completely abandons the PEYTON PLACE vibe. Presumably the filmmakers think modern audiences are too impatient for things like atmosphere, character development or specificity of location. The vampire is seen within minutes. One of the 1970s version's most iconic, creepy scenes was replaced with a cheap, silly jump scare followed by gore. And then I turned it off. [/QUOTE]
