Salem’s Lot
The Warner Bros remake of SALEM'S LOT, currently shelved, is muscular and involving. It has the feel of "Old Hollywood," when a film was given a chance to draw a breath before getting to business. When attention spans were longer, in other words.

This Stephen King adaptation from It, It: Chapter Two, and The Conjuring Universe veteran Gary Dauberman teased us with a 2022 calendar date back in 2021, then was floated as a possible straight-to-Max release in October 2023. That failed to happen after King himself shared his displeasure about how it had been handled by the studio on X. So, maybe a theatrical release for this “muscular and involving” vampire tale in 2024?
Unconventional wisdom:
Remember how shocked you were by Talk to Me and When Evil Lurks? Let’s hope more like those are lurking in the shadows this year.
