Featured in Half in the Bag: Top 10 Horror Movies (2024) Part 1 (2024)
Line of Events
An author returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of 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 move away from the more sensual, romanticized undead that have plagued pop culture for much 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 at the library, a headline reads “Local Couple Victims of DUI.” The newspaper was supposedly printed in 1956, at a time when the term “DUI” was not yet in use.
That said, it’s pretty mediocre
Sundown Written and performed by Gordon Lightfoot Courtesy of Warner Records By arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing. First off, I have to say that even when a Stephen King adaptation is weak, at least it’s still watchable. That’s a testament to King’s work. This movie is lucky to be a King movie.
But every aspect of the evolving story is abandoned
At the beginning of the movie I was really excited, everything seemed good, the atmosphere of unease was there and it felt very King. Pretty quickly we get to a point where people have just disappeared from the town. It happens so fast and the remaining people just “know” that the cause is vampires. They also seem to know instantly who the main vampire is and it makes no sense.
Plus, no blood
I’ve seen some incredibly bad horror movies in my life and this one isn’t bad, it’s just really fast. In a vampire movie. Shame. If it had been an 8-10 episode miniseries, it would have worked.
The elements are there
The cast is there. I have to give credit for sticking to the source material, it shows that the creators had an understanding of what they were working with. The final season of “What We Do in the Shadows” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our October calendar for more!
