An author returns to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot in search of inspiration for his next book, only to discover that the townspeople are being attacked by a bloodthirsty vampire.. Writer Gary Dauberman told Den of Geek in June 2019 that his goal with the new version of Salem’s Lot is to make vampires frightening again.

SundownWritten and Performed by Gordon LightfootCourtesy of Warner RecordsBy arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing. It was an okay movie. Really needs to be an 8-10 hour mini series. That way the characters could be explored better. We would have more of an interest in the story and lore. Felt that the actors did well with what they were given. The leads all did a good job conveying their characters’ motivation, considering the shortness of the movie. The heroes of the story are good. Loved the teacher as well as the two main leads and the little kid who showed no fear. It was perfect. No. Pocket The effects were well done. Although they should have waited for the grand reveal until later in the story. Other than them. A solid movie. Again. Should have been made a mini series..
