I was born in the early ’80s, and I don’t throw compliments at remakes lightly. But this new Salem’s Lot? Shocked me—in the best way.
The original had its time, sure, but let’s be real—it felt like a slow-burning soap opera with barely any action and zero bite. This version? It comes out swinging. The action is sharp, the special effects are brutal and beautiful, and the acting delivers with serious weight.
It doesn’t tiptoe around horror—it charges straight into the darkness. This isn’t just a modern update, it’s a full-on resurrection of the story, done with teeth and purpose.
I would 100% recommend this movie.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to the Lot, this one’s worth the ride.
