As a die-hard Stephen King fan with over three decades of immersing myself in his chilling narratives, I am positively thrilled to my very core about the upcoming remake of “Salem’s Lot.” The first glimpse into this new adaptation has sent shivers down my spine and ignited an anticipation that rivals the fire set by a vampire’s eyes.
The initial scenes from the much-anticipated remake of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot have been unveiled. On Friday, Max published a sneak peek at the movie that shows the primary characters — Father Callahan (John Benjamin Hickey), Mark Petrie (Jordan Preston Carter), Dr Cody (Alfre Woodard), Ben Mears (Lewis Pullman), and Susan Norton (Makenzie) — venturing into a puzzling basement, lacking any stairs. The clip ends before revealing the horrifying discoveries they might encounter. You can watch this preview below.
The movie adaptation of “Salem’s Lot,” originally penned by Stephen King in 1975, is finally set to premiere on Max in October following some postponements. Notably, this will be the initial cinematic interpretation of the novel, having been previously transformed into two TV miniseries, one in 1979 and another in 2004. The film is penned and directed by Gary Dauberman, with James Wan, Michael Clear (for Atomic Monster), Roy Lee (for Vertigo), and Mark Wolper serving as producers.
This scene is an electrifying rush, reminiscent of a sugar high! Reflecting back, it struck me, ‘Yes, this is it – a drive-in movie.’ In response to a past interview about a cinematic moment inspired by the original cover art of King’s novel, I enthusiastically say that for me, immersing as many people as possible on a cozy couch would be my ideal way to enjoy this horror flick.
In Stephen King’s novel “Salem’s Lot“, protagonist Ben Mears revisits a small town called Salem’s Lot (originally Jerusalem’s Lot) to work on a book about a haunted house that has long troubled him. Upon his return, he discovers that his once-isolated hometown is plagued by vampires. As the vampires claim more victims, Mears manages to rally a handful of believers to join him in fighting against the undead. King himself, who voiced his approval for the film on social media last year, stated that while there are certain alterations from the book he isn’t in agreement with, overall, the movie stays true to its source material.
As a gamer, I can’t help but feel like I’m living through a chilling, suspenseful reinterpretation of classics like “The Great Escape”. It masterfully ramps up the tension, bit by bit. While there are some deviations from the original story that I don’t entirely see eye to eye with, overall it stays true to its roots. The most thrilling moment for me was Danny Glick’s hospital scene where he desperately tried to tear open a blood bag. If John Carpenter were at his creative peak today, I believe he would have directed that scene to perfection.
Salem’s Lot arrives on Max in October.
