Salem's Lot was very disappointing in every aspect. I'll never understand why they remove a ton from the books then add new stuff. Ben and Susan have no chemistry, Straker acts like he's doing Shakespear in the park. Even William Shatner would've said he was chewing scenery. They cut 80 percent of the characters, and we only follow about 5. Even focusing on just them the movie felt rushed. I was looking forward to this when it was announced years ago. This adaptation is on par with the Pet Semetary prequel, and that is not a compliment. The original movie is so much better. Hell, the 90s remake is far better as well
