Synopsis

Stephen King's classic vampire novel receives another television adaptation in the made-for-cable mini-series SALEM'S LOT. Rob Lowe assumes David Soul's 1979 starring role as Ben Mears, a writer who returns to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot to research his new book and come to terms with a secret childhood trauma. But the Maine hamlet is also being visited by two new strangers--antiques merchant Richard Straker (Donald Sutherland) and his menacing companion Kurt Barlow (Rutger Hauer)--whose sinister dealings prompt Mears to investigate a rash of townsfolk disappearances with the help of his former grade school teacher Matt Burke (Andre Braugher), lovelorn small-town waitress Susan Norton (Samantha Mathis), and local parish priest Father Callahan (James Cromwell).

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised., 31 Oct 2007
I was a real fan of the original movie and then the book. The wrong way round, I know, but I was only ten and then along came this. Now I really hoped for something brilliant but didn't quite get that. I expected absolute trash but didn't get that either. What I thought we got was a fairly faithful take on the book and a stand up good try at re-making what I think is the best horror flick of all time. I quite like modern re-makes because they give you something new even if it is just a change of cast - I watch stage plays with different casts all the time. Some are better than others but we don't suggest there should only ever be one version. So I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy Rob Lowe and his mates running around The Lot and giving me the chance to hide behind the furniture all over again. Go on, give it a chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars I must have watched a different movie..., 23 Mar 2006
By Mr. K. Ducklin (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...because I really can't understand why so many people have come down so hard on this version of 'Salem's Lot'. I enjoyed it hugely: it's convincingly set, sticks pretty close to the book, and with it's long running time achieves that slow burn so characteristic of this and other King novels. Not only that, but Rob Lowe, bearing more than a passing resemblance to the author, is perfectly cast as King's most self-referential heroic incarnation.

5.0 out of 5 stars love it, 20 May 2007
By Stephen Sams - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i simply love this version of salem's lot.i was a big fan of the 79 version,but i was always disappointed with how they made the character of barlow into a nosferatu,when in fact in the novel he was a charming but utterly evil humanesque vampire.true,it's still not exactly like the novel,i would've preferred to see the vampire baby etc,and more use of the danny glick character,and the eva and weasel storyline was a bit sugary and the larry crocket incest thing was totally uncalled for,and i didn't like the way they handled the father callahan character,but it's still better than tobe hooper's version,as far as being faithful to the novel goes.i also wish that they'd made better use of rutger hauer as barlow.they could've kept the bonnie sawyer/corey affair in there,instead of changing it to the cody/Mcdougal affair,then we would've seen more of barlow.even though the hooper version had a sense of dread throughout the movie,this one is even darker in my opinion,and i love the soundtrack,especialy when ben is walking to the soup kitchen during the opening scenes.
i have to say that i think that the guy who plays floyd tibbets is great,as well as rob lowe.rob lowe IS ben mears.
anyway,i love this,despite it's faults,so i recommend it to anyone who's read the book and who's a fan of king.
thanks for reading this and i hope it helps.
Stephen.
