Salem's Lot 2004

TNT presents a modern telling of Stephen King’s classic vampire tale ‘Salem’s Lot. The story follows a small New England town that destroys itself when an ancient vampire named Barlow moves there and takes up residence in a house that carries a history of evil. Featuring a large ensemble cast that includes Rob Lowe, Donald Sutherland, James Cromwell, Rutger Hauer, and Samantha Mathis, there are some good performances. However, there are too many characters and subplots going on to get invested in the film. Still, the over-arcing story is rather interesting and the horror elements are effective at creating suspense. ‘Salem’s Lot is a flawed film, but it delivers an intriguing vision as well as a few chills.
