Watch A Return to Salem's Lot For Free

Too much of everything

Memorable, crazy movie

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I only found out this movie even existed yesterday when I ran into it on the shelves of my local library, which has a quite good DVD section where one can borrow DVD's for free. Thank goodness for that, free, I mean, because I'd really be embarrassed to admit I paid actual money to watch this abomination of a movie. It is bad, really really bad. So bad in fact, I'm thinking of writing to the production company and requesting they pay me for watching it!

This film bears no resemblance to the classic television mini series from 1979, nor is the film in the same league. The publicity and the marketing for "Return to Salems Lot" clearly used the image of the Nosferatu vampire from the mini series because it was apparent that no one would see the 1987 movie. The ploy didn't work as the film went straight to video release. "Return to Salems Lot" has none of the intelligence, imagination or atmosphere of "Salems Lot." The aim of this film, is to include as much graphic detail as possible. The script is largely absurd and the story ridiculous. The location that was used for the film is totally different to before but it's a good locale all the same. The grassy hills, the church, they give you cause to think that vampires stalk those hills in search of food. There is at least some good action scenes which offer some compensation. The town of Salems Lot is now over-run with vampires. They are gradually running low on food supply after all the remaining human beings are either dead or slaves to the undead. Michael Moriarty is pretty good in the lead and director Samuel Fuller is OK as a vampire Hunter. Watch this and enjoy something that requires less brain power.

Michael Moriarty stars as a man returning to Jerusalem,s (Salem's) lot with his son after inheriting a house from his aunt with the intentions of rekindling their father/son relationship, but its not long before they realise something is not right. I saw this and the original 1979 on VHS 20 years ago, this film had me in stitches with the bad acting and what looked like bad tomato sauce fake blood, did the film makers decided to make a vampire movie and cash in on a sequel to Salem's Lot and ruin it.if you want a movie to watch if you are bored try this, you might just end up falling asleep to it.

Oh jeez.I sat down one night and watched this on the Friday fright-mare and what a cheesy movie from the freaky 80s.The acting is just fake that you wonder what on earth they were doing in the 80s wasting money on cheap looking scenes. I personally sat down and watched the last 45 minutes of this terrible wasted space. I can't remember what I was doing that I missed the beginning but I was doing something. In the town people with the right intelligence would lock trespassers up but we don't see that here. Michael Moriarity must have gotten laughed at when he played in this. I can't believe he put up with this. People should know better. The vampires in this movie are unrealistic that you just want to turn away from this bad script of a horror night. Never watch anything like this unless you know it is good. I will never watch this ever again due to I will never get back the time they took from me. Start making better remakes people you just have to put your brain to it.
