When David Soul returns to his small New England town, people begin dropping like flies. Even in the movie you'll notice from the beginning how the streets are quiet. This, to me, was the best movie from a book by Stephen King. It really scared me when I read the novel and then it didn't disappoint me when I saw the movie. The film centers around a suave antiques dealer (James Mason) who's knowledge goes way beyond bric-a-brac. Mason's partner is a vampire (no mention of him being "Dracula")....who wants to drain the whole town of blood before moving on. The spookiest sight is that old house. When the kid, Lance Kerwin, is walking in it by himself I got huge goosebumps! The make-up job on the vampire was enough to give me nightmares. Bonnie Belinda plays Soul's love interest, who gets captured near the end and never makes it out. That makes for a second movie, which never did catch on. Well, it's hard to keep the undead down,....but a good fire might!. Last scene is of Soul and Kerwin leaving town on their own....last ones left. I watch this every Halloween night!Read full review
Stephen King's Vampire story. It is scary, made me jump,my mom is 90,made her jump. I loved the movie and I loved the book. Pretty much follows the book scary from the beginning to the end. Even though it is out of print, the older stuff has character.
My mom is 97 and it made even her jump.....

This was a good movie. An antique vampire story, with a good plot outline. However, a good deal of the characters in the book were left out of the movie. Hollywood condensed the book quite a bit. The base story is there about a writer who fights evil in a small town he lived in as a child, but the book was so much better.
awesome movie!!!!!!!!!!! really scary when ur little!!!!!! evry1 should buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
