Salem's Lot (2004) Part 1/13

In this horror film based on Stephen King's novel, best-selling author Ben Mears (Rob Lowe) returns to his Maine hometown and finds it overrun by vampires. The prime suspect, at first, seems to be a creepy antiques dealer named Straker (Donald Sutherland). But further investigation reveals that he's just the assistant to the "Big Bad" -- a bloodsucker named Kurt Barlow (Rutger Hauer), who plans to drain the blood and souls of the entire town.

THE 1979 VERSION OF THIS FILM IS MUCH BETTER.

Even dressed like a homeless person, Rob Lowe is still hot.

@ctd1143 definitely agree I haven't seen the movie but I read the book and Richard is really scary but the Marsten house to me and the story behind it is scary as well

[Pocahontas400]

the book is so much better

@desta148 I think this movie is great, too, because the young kids didn't have the chance to see it then, and now they'll think it's old and not modern enough.

@desta148 Both have merits and are equaly well made with the correct blend of suspense and horror. I think the vampire is this version is more believable / realistic though.

@ozipk Well I think it is...sorry lol.

[Subatomic1000]

@ctd1143 totally agree=]

The only thing both movies fail to do is write the Richard Straker character like the book. In some ways, he was the scariest part of the book. The Danny Glick scene in the cemetery is really scary. Both movies don't do him justice.
