Not a good sign.

It must be a turkey. Poor screening tests?
shareKing called it a slow burn old school thriller the way movies used to be. Sounded unbelievably boring for modern audiences. Might be great but it ain't gonna make no money.
shareThere have been some successful slower paced horror movies in recent years. Hereditary and the Babadook come to mind.
shareKing has turned into a giant idiot now. I dont trust his judgement on anything.
sharethen the trailer comes out and we see it's more nu-horror with BS jumpscares and tons of CGI
shareAt least we'll get to see it.
shareThe only SALEMS LOT that matters is the 1979 movie with David Soul.. The end
shareExactly. I tried watching the 2004 version a while back and I got bored about a half hour in and never returned to it.
Yet I watch the '79 Salem's Lot every few years and I still get the very same chill down my spine from the vampire kid at the window that I did when I was a middle school kid the first time I saw it.
Since no release date is set & no trailer released, they are probably trying to sell it to streaming. Probably not 100% that Max till buy it as its not their 2024 release schedule-
