Storyline

- TriviaAccording to Rob Lowe, during the filming of the final confrontation with Kurt Barlow, Rutger Hauer went off script, but remained in-character, and launched into a bizarre non-sequitur soliloquy about wanting to be a cowboy. Director Mikael Salomon was not impressed, quickly yelled "Cut!" and asked Hauer what he was doing. After a very tense negotiation, Hauer agreed stick to the original script, but had not bothered to learn the original two-page speech he gave, so had to read it off cue cards.
- GoofsIn some outdoor night scenes crickets and other insects can be heard clearly yet the ground is covered in snow. During Maine winters there are no insects audible at night.

Featured review
You liked the 1979 version? Then you're gonna do just fine with this remake.
I'm just gonna tell it like I feel it is: This re-make of Stephen King's well-known tale of vampires deserves the same rating as the original '79 made-for TV version. A lot of people say stuff like "It's not as scary as the original...", but they forget that they saw the original when they were kids. I'm pretty sure that when you show the scene were Rutger Hauer (with fangs & contact lenses) is crawling around on the ceiling (in this new version) to any kid, it will scare the living daylights out of it. The story moves at an okay pace and is actually constructed like one big flashback. Decent performances from the whole cast (Donald Shutterland is pretty evil in this one) and characters with enough background to make them interesting. I also had the feeling that near the end, there were a lot more vampires than in the original '79 version. The whole town seemed to be infected. A solid three-hour movie, worthy of your time.
