Vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, oh my. It’s officially spooky season, and a horde of great movies are being released. One movie that should be at the top of your watch list this week is Gary Dauberman and MAX’s new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic tale, Salem’s Lot, which I called “worth sinking your fangs into” in my mostly spoiler-free review.
The film’s impressive ensemble cast includes Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Alfre Woodard, Bill Camp, and Spencer Treat Clark—all of whom we interviewed about the film. Pilou Asbaek, William Sadler, John Benjamin Hickey, Nicholas Crovetti, and Debra Christofferson round out the cast.
Salem’s Lot is set in 1975, the same year King’s original novel was published. It follows author Ben Mears, who returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot. Haunted by a childhood incident, Mears seeks inspiration for his next book. However, Ben soon discovers that the town is being terrorized by a bloodthirsty vampire and its loyal servant.
To celebrate the release of Salem’s Lot, a new clip has been unveiled that reveals Ben’s (Lewis Pullman) back story and the tragedy he faced as a young boy, forever shaping his life.
Salem’s Lot is now streaming on MAX. You don’t want to miss this movie. So, pop some popcorn, turn out the lights, grab a cross, and settle in for some serious frights.
