Narrative
An author returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot to find inspiration for his next book, only to discover that the townspeople are being attacked by a bloodthirsty vampire. Writer Gary Dauberman told Den of Geek in June 2019 that his goal with the new version of Salem’s Lot is to make vampires scary again. He wants to get rid of the sexier, more romantic undead that have infected pop culture for the better part of the last quarter century, thanks to everything from Interview with the Vampire to Twilight to The Vampire Diaries. When Ben is reading old newspapers on microfilm in the library the headline is “DUI’s Local Couple”. The sheet was allegedly printed in 1956, at a time when the term “DUI” was not in use..
It was a decent movie
Sundown Written and Performed by Gordon Lightfoot Courtesy of Warner Records Warner Music Group Film & TV licensing. We really need an 8-10 hour mini series. This makes it easier to discover the characters. We’d be more interested in the story and the story. He felt that the actors did well with what they were given.
It was perfect
Each of the main actors did a good job of conveying the motivations of the characters given the shortness of the film. The heroes of the story are good. I loved the teacher and the two main characters and the little kid who showed no fear. Not. But.
Different from them
The effects are well done. They should have waited for the big reveal later in the story though. Solid movie. Again. A mini-series should have been made..
