The movie Salem's Lot, based on Stephen King's book of the same name, was finally released on Max. It was originally supposed to come already in 2022, and to cinemas. So a late release is never a good sign?
In Salem's Lot shit hits the fan in a small town. I don't know if this is a huge spoiler, but it's about vampires. Bad things happen to children in the story, so if you can't stand it, don't watch this movie. Personally, I don't appreciate the fact that in King's books the main character is always a writer, and this is the case in Salem's Lot as well.
I was surprised that this new Salem's Lot is set in the 1970s (like the original book) and not moved to modern times, as seems to be the trend.
I hear this movie got bad reviews, but I happened to like it. The 70's were executed nicely. Things are moving fast, some say too fast. There really is no idling. In the past, only mini-series have been made about this book, which may be better suited to this story in terms of length.
It hasn't even been that many years since I re-read Salem's Lot, so I guess I should be able to tell you how faithful this movie is to the original work. But I can't say that I remember the details of the book very well.
After watching this movie, I would like to change my necklace pendant to a cross...
