Spend the 3 hours reading the book!!, 26 January 2005
1/10
Author: Silent_Oracle3 from United States

I recently finished reading Salem's lot by Stephen King. I loved the book so I thought it would be fun to see the film version to compare my vision with someone else's. The local Blockbuster didn't have a copy of the 1980's version so against my better judgment I opted for the 2004 release complete with Rob Lowe. I should have saved my $4.50!!! The screen play writer turned one of King classics into a clichéd late '90's goth kid fantasy(complete with too much sexual innuendo and a nu-metal soundtrack). The only real similarity in the story lines were the character names. I have never been a big fan of books turned movies but this is the worst conversion I have ever seen. If you want to see one of the most boring horror movies ever rent this flick. However if you are looking for an accurate and likable adaptation of one of your favorite books don't waste your time. My recommendation is spend the $4.50 on a used copy of the book and spend the 3 hours reading it.
