Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best King adaptations!! Still holds up today, some great performances! And who doesn't get creeped out with the boy clawing at the window?!?!

Tobe Hooper's Salem's Lot is gothic horror masterpiece.

This classic movie was a terrific post-Texas Chainsaw Massacre follow-up and deserves to be thrown in with other classic vampire movies more.

Classic horror movie. The writer is always very good.

I read the book right before I found the Blu-ray by chance on Best Buy's website. Loved the book so much I had to buy the movie. Though some characters and scenes were left out, the movie pulled together really well and glad to report the "scary" scenes did the book justice. Wonderful vampire classic I recommend, and the steelbook was in perfect condition!

Love this original version of the Stephen King novel Salem's Lot. Got some moments that are creepy without it being graphic. Worth the price.

I vaguely recalled this TV adaptation. Now watching again on this remastered blu ray, it still gives me some serious jolts. The low-budget physical effects and detailed make-ups aged well. The blu ray shows off the nicely designed and produced interior of the Marsten House. The disc offers English subtitle and a commentary track by director Tobe Hooper. As a continuous movie, it is episodic with required fade ins and outs for commercial breaks. Characters were introduced, fleshed out then completely disappeared except for the main protagonist played by David Soul. He pushed the plot forward. Compared with today's horror films Salem's Lot is tame, scant of blood and gore. But it glows with earnest old-school terror and shiver.

The fact that this was a TV movie boggles the mind. It looks spectacular on blu and the acting is solid. The vampire design is stunning. As far as King adaptations go, this one is top tier.

When I saw that this was finally receiving a Bluray release, of course I had to pick it up. This movie is based on Stephen King's second published novel, Salem's Lot, and while differing from it - is still plenty creepy. Salem's Lot originally aired as a TV Mini-Series and was given a Home Release on DVD. This is the longer Home Release version remastered for Bluray. The restoration for this film is phenomenal and definitely worth the cheap price.

Glad to find it on Bluray! One of the scariest movies from when I was younger. Still scary

For a TV movie Stephan King's Salem's Lot is a classic. Full of great characters and frightful suspense.

After 40 years (!), it not only still creeps me right the freak out, but somehow also gets me to jump in the same parts EVERYTIME. Every. Single. Time. It's a good example of how suspence, imagery and pacing when done right will always be scarier than gore and splatter,

This movie looks so much better on Blu Ray!! It looked awful on VHS and that’s really what got me uninterested in it when I was younger...I could hear the people talk very well and the darn lighting was AWFUL! I’m so glad that it looks and sounds so much better now!! This is a classic Stephen King horror movie for sure! Definitely worth checking out if you’re into vampires and Stephen King books or movies!!

THIS IS A REALLY SCARY VAMPIRE MOVIE. I LOVE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BAD VAMPIRE IN THE END!

Strays a bit form the novel but delivered a very satisfying mini series for the time.

This is a really spooky, Gothic horror film done in a classic style. The creature is truly horrific and James Mason is superlative (as always) in his role as the creature's caretaker. Don't miss this truly scary horror movie - they don't make them like this any more so don't miss it. Best Buys' price was great.

This is a great movie ... a great blu-ray of a horror classic! I definely recommend it!

Love this version of Salem's Lot. There have been remakes - nothing like this original.

I've never seen Salem's Lot before. Through the years, I've heard friends and people on the Internet say how scary it was when they first watched it. Well, when I saw that it was on sale for a 4k, I had to buy it. The picture quality is great and as well as the sound. Tobe Hooper directed a very creepy movie, indeed. Especially for a made for television movie.

This movie holds up really well today,the quality of the transfer is really good.
