Customer Ratings & Reviews

Made for TV but good enough to have in my collection. Excellent film based on a Steven King novella or so I think...Think "Nosferatu". 'Nuff said. And yes, I highly recommend it! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'>

I can only remember when I was a young child when I first watched this movie! And it scared the "you know what" out of me! But now when I get the chance to watch it again as I am an adult now, and NOTHING scares me anymore! I'm still going to love this nostalgic movie! Awesome can't wait!!

I thought this movie was scary when i was a kid.Its a good movie but not scary like it was back then.

Excellent Stephen King adaptation. Was a TV miniseries, but is better than most theatrical adaptations. Great, creepy atmosphere and has one of my favorite onscreen vampires. James Mason was also brilliant as Straker.

Originally made as a TV Mini series. 3 hours long. Starts out slowly after intro, but picks up pace as it developes. No special effects, but excellent character make up and set design. Best image rendering of a vampire of any movie I've seen.

Stephen King's Eerie Creepy Vampire Classic that is sure to keep ya up at night looking out your window to see what lurks below. This is when vampire's we're scary not full of glitter.

The outside artwork on this release is stunning from front to back. The inside artwork is also as stunning. The disc is the same as previous releases but good to see they didn’t strip it of it’s amazing commentary track. For $12 -I recommend!

but ultimately it looks as flat as the TV movie that it is. James Mason had real presence, though.

The film is wonderfully literary. Give it some time to build momentum. Really draws you in, slowly but surely. Watched it in a big group at Halloween & we ALL loved it. Blu-ray picture quality is GREAT, especially for an older made-for-TV miniseries.

I love horror movies and the original Salem’s Lot (1979) is one of the best vampire movies ever made. A very creepy and terrifying film that still holds up well over 40 years later. Highly recommended!

I had not seen this movie since I was a boy and it aired on TV for the first time. I remember everyone talking about the floating scene, the choking scene, and, of course, the ending. It's still good and my son loved it. Nice little horror movie.

I have to admit this one I am less familiar with. I consider it more of a suspense "chiller" type movie. Not his best but was a straight to Tv mini series so is to be expected. That being said "The Stand" was a mini series masterpiece in my opinion.

Was VERY surprised at this blu-ray transfer! It's almost like watching a different film. Looks incredible (in my opinion) considering that it's a 70s made for tv movie. One of the best and straight up classic vampire films ever. Worth every penny.

When this originally aired on TV I was just a teenager and I loved every minute of it. "Salem's Lot" (this version) and "IT" are the best Stephen King adaptations ever made, especially out of the TV movies. Now it looks even better on Blu!

Though this was made for TV, on blu ray it looks far more polished and cinematic. A true classic, only reason I did not give it 5 stars is there are zero special features. For me audio commentary and a making of featurette should be mandatory, I cannot stand bare bones blu rays. Other than that, again the movie looks and sounds great, just beware it is full frame.

I was very stoked to see this get the Steelbook treatment because I hadn’t really seen any format I physically wanted to buy of this until now. One of my favorite Stephen King stories.

Tobe’s Stephen King adaptation that’s a lot of fun! Mr Barlow has slowly become one of my favorite on screen vampires ever and this steelbooks art is freaking awesome!

This Stephen King adaption is a must see for any vampire fan! Great storytelling, and wonderful actors. A lengthy film, but would be great for a movie night! This is the uncut feature film, unlike what you used to find on VHS.

"Salem's Lot" is my favorite adaptation of a Stephen King novel made for TV. It's very atmospheric and old fashioned horror at it's best! This blu-ray version looks great and got it at a great price @ Best Buy!!!

Old school horror at it's best in the spirit of Carrie and the excorist
