This feels like a bad tv movie. It looks cheap and ugly. Lewis Pullman falls flat in his performance, but that may be more to do with the way the character is written. Most of the characters are underdeveloped here and the actors don't have much to work with. Alfre Woodard does a decent job with her character and gives the best performance in the film. This isn't very enteraining or fun, although there are a couple cool looking moments. 5/10 is my rating.
Too bad, I guess we'll have to stick with the classic David Soul version...
shareSorry to hear. I'm watching it tonight.
shareI made it about 5 minutes.
shareI agree. Fucking terrible. Bad acting and the vampires look like they're animated or from a video game.
They knew what they were doing not releasing it theatrically.
I made it an hour and need to take a break (because it's bad, not because it's scary).

I didn't mind it. And it landed exactly where I thought it would. I prefer the book and original miniseries more, but it's better than the Rob Lowe miniseries/movie. I predicted it would go book, miniseries, 2024 movie, and then Rob Lowe miniseries/movie. Also, I was just glad that they stuck to Ben and Mark being the final two survivors. I was worried they would kill Ben off and let someone else survive instead. When I heard they were changing the ending for the 2024 movie, I immediately went to either Ben dies or maybe Susan lives and there is three survivors. I wasn't expecting things to take place at the drive-in instead of the house and have some big fight at the drive-in. I know the Rob Lowe one kills off Ben at the end, which I didn't like, and also why I immediately went to/assumed Ben dies in the 2024 movie when I heard they changed up the ending/third act/finale. But they kept the two survivors the same from the book, so I appreciate that, and that's another plus. But yeah. Overall, I didn't mind it. I also liked it more than that Midnight Mass show. Oh and I would rather watch Salem's Lot 2024 again than that stupid Abigail movie.
shareIt needed to be longer! Not a 2 part movie but a 10 part miniseries. I want to see a real adaptation of the book!
Too many characters for a two hour feature! Like packing ten pounds of shit into a five pound bag.
agreed, really needed to be 30 minutes longer for character development. other than that it was pretty good. worth a watch, especially as it is streaming for free.
