The 2004 Salem's Lot miniseries isn't perfect but it is worth checking out as the Rob Lowe-series is an interesting Stephen King adaptation.
Stephen King wrote Salem’s Lot in 1975 and the novel was turned into a satisfying miniseries four years later, but that CBS adaptation had to cut and change several elements to create the two-night television epic. Now, we’re due a new retelling of this story, with an HBO version of the vampire tale that was supposed to be released in 2022, now slated.
I love the character depth, which helps boost the overall story, but I had to watch it twice to fully catch some of the finer points. This special starts with an interesting framework of our main character attacking someone and ending up in a hospital, given the opportunity to tell his horrible tale to an enthralled doctor. Having them fall on the cop car out of the window was a solid bit of sudden action before slowing things down and showing how everything started.
Although I think some parts are overdone stylistically, like Ben’s flashbacks or the jump-scare from the toast , several of the deaths work to not only feel meaningful and illicit sadness but also look kind of sick. The staking feels savage, and I love it when a vampire stakes one of the mortal hunters to give them a taste of their own medicine. Guess we should just start biting vampires back.
