Description
I have always admired the original film, so I approached this new version with high hopes and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I truly value how they preserved the elements that made the original book and movie successful, making only minor adjustments that felt fitting. The window scene, which has always been my favorite from the original, was beautifully executed here as well. The storyline effectively drives the film, with a good pace and special effects that are not overly extravagant. It seems that some viewers have unrealistic expectations; if the film strayed too far from the original, they would criticize it, yet now that it remains faithful to the source material, they still find reasons to complain. For fans of Stephen King and vampire stories, Salem's Lot Lookmovie is worth watching.
