Announced in 2019, shot in 2021, originally set for theatrical release in 2022 only to dribble out onto the Max service this past Friday, the long-awaited ‘Salem’s Lot took a meandering road to reach our eyes.

It was slick, mean, thin in characterization but visually sharp and sumptuous and with enough good sequences that I came away having had a lot of fun with the film. Does it hold a candle to the original 1979 series shot by our marathon’s namesake? No, but I didn’t need it to be, either.
