There hasn't been a good film version of 'Salems Lot" yet. Tobe Hooper's Mini series came closest but the Vampire was not Kurt Barlow of the book. James Mason was far from a bald imposing Straker and making the Jimmy Cody character into Susan's father took from the story I thought. Still, better than the others.

If nobody needs to see it again, write a different story, not one that rides on the coattails of an original (that doesn't need to be seen again) to draw a fan base that would read King's grocery list. Not original.

So I haven't seen it but watched the trailer. I immediately thought of The Twilight Zone episode called "The Parallel" with Steve Forrest. Guess that's not it as the article had the spoiler I didn't need but ....since I have that streaming service now, I'll watch the first season. Rapace is great in Sci/Fi roles....and any others I've seen her in.

Just watched this. Most entertaining Horror/Action film I've seen in a long time. Of course you have to suspend disbelief but that's the point of movies...they take you away from the vagaries of your normal life. Really fun and gripping movie
