 On the whole though, Salem’s Lot was a captivating, fear-provoking and talent filled horror journey with a top notch cast on its side. You going to take a vacation in Salem’s? I recommend you do! Just don’t forget to pack lots garlic and hair gel for RobLowe! He needs them bad!  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)
...it's a made for TV movie, and it is a Sephen King flick, and they all seem to be the same on some level. Although it had it's problems, the second half was quite entertaining, and I enjoyed it enough to recommend it to some non-King fans. But if you love Stephen King TV movies, you are going to absolutely LOVE this movie.  -- (Bloody-Disgusting.com)

| Slow at first, but picks up towards the end of the first part, and starts to really kick into high gear in part 2. Original is better for scares, but this version is good for entertainment. Worth a check. 7/10 --FrighT MasteR (UHM)
