Shortcomings of HBO's 'Salem's Lot'
HBO's 'Salem's Lot' attempts to bring Stephen King's vampire tale to a new audience but misses the mark in several critical areas.
- Acting by Lewis Pullman and Bill Camp does little to save the film.
- The adaptation strays too far from the source material.
- Lack of tension and impact makes it forgettable.
Streaming Availability
