Plot:
This movie is so damn scary it's ridiculous. Filled with tons of fully fleshed out characters and a great story. It's a haunted house movie and a vampire movie that mesh perfectly together. This is the scariest TV movie ever made. Barlow gives me the creeps. See the full 184 min. version not the butchered 120 min. version.
I've only seen the roughly 2hr video version of this, and it's an alright vampire tale, a little slow moving at first but interesting enough. One thing this film has going for it is the vampire that freaks me right out, no matter how ridiculous I tell myself it looks. Tobe Hooper got something right post TCSM.
Of all of Stephen King's book to be adapted to screen, this is easily one of his best and Tobe Hooper's best film since the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre. An absolute must for vampire and horror fans.
i love the 2004 verison and i am part way through the book. though im not a fan of older movies this one seems worth seeing
I pre-disposed to liking this movie, as I love the story and am always biased to the positive when the protagonist is a writer (myself being one). In this movie, the writer character is well played, very empathetic, and so is the young kid who 'crusading' with him against the vampires.
This is not a 'bloody' vampire movie, but it is extremely 'creepy', specifically in terms of the vampire make-up designs. This movie may move too slow for those not pre-disposed to the story and desiring a scare at every turn. When this film does scare, it does it well, and is always worth the wait. The end was brilliantly executed, and I think few people will forget the first time the "master vampire" popped up with his animalistic bulging yellow eyes, or when the kid came scratching at his friend's window (not the first kid, but the protagonist kid).
All good things said, I think Hooper could have done better in terms of cinematography and editing.
