Movie Reviews of Salem's Lot - The Miniseries
Movie Review: Why compare?
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the original Salem's Lot and I liked this one as well. I don't compare one version with another. They are separate movies. If they were to be identical, what would be the point of doing it again? So just watch it and enjoy it for itself. I really liked all the characters in the movie and they felt real, even more so than the original. I believe that Rob Lowe did a good job. Samantha Mathis played her part very well. Robert Mammone, Dan Byrd, Andre Braugher as well as many others, all did an excellent job playing their characters. I liked the mini series when I saw it on tv and that is why I purchased the DVD. I really liked how some of the vampires carried over their personalities and even feelings after they were made into vampires. Cool movie. If you like vampire movies, you will like this one.Movie Review: Excellent adaptation
Summary: 4 Stars
I was surprisingly pleased with this adaptation of Stephen King's novel 'Salem's Lot. I've always been a big fan of the book (and recently re-read it in reference to King's Dark Tower series), however, I never really enjoyed the original adaptation. Admittedly, this version strays from the novel, notably with regard to Father Callahan. Rob Lowe does well as the title character, author Ben Mears, and the other characters are well developed. An excellent cast of stars, including Andre Braugher, James Cromwell, and Donald Sutherland (though I would have liked to seen him get more screen time). Rutger Hauer is surprisingly good as Kurt Barlow.
Give it a shot, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Movie Review: Good but Could Have
Summary: 4 Stars
Salem's Lot is a awesome book and I watched this miniseries and while it stayed close to the book in some ways there was also stuff that did not happen in the book at all.
Is it just me or did anyone else notice in that scene in Matt Burke's guest room after Mike Reyerson turned into a vampire that it seemed that Mike was coming on to Matt. Was Mike hitting on him? Was that intentional or not?
Anyway I liked that they showed Mike as the young guy he was in the book. The other movie made him much older!
Bye
Movie Review: IMPRESSIONABLY GOOD
Summary: 4 Stars
Surprisingly, this remake of the classic 1979 TV mini-series about vampires invading a small town is effective. Rob Lowe takes over the David Soul role as the returned-home writer investigating the strange happenings, and the actor's believable delivery, as is all the cast for that matter, makes SALEM'S LOT a fun and sometimes scary diversion. The last twenty minutes is as gripping as any good Stephen King adaptation. The man should be proud.-----Martin BoucherMovie Review: One of the best Mini-series as of late
Summary: 4 Stars
I would say that this mini-series is definately one of the better made for tv movies for the past few years. Rob lowe does an excellent job of acting. One of his better proformances I think. And the movie keeps up with a creepiness throughout the movie of what it could be like for a "dying" town of america. How the emotional effects of it could affect everyone involved in the situation.
