The Lot is many things. A small town full of secrets. A place where evil can fester. And it’s a Stephen King property that has a few swings at the bat. Well, this week on Kill By Kill, we’re the ones swinging the bat! That’s right, we hate to do it, but we’re driving a stake right through the heart of this 2022… wait, 2023… hold on… 2024 remake of ‘SALEM’S LOT - and we’re not happy about it at all. Why does this movie feel like a speed run? Why does it refuse to show more than six people at a time? Why does Barlow look like the Space Vampire from that episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century? Folks, we’re doing everything in our power not to be “those fans,” but this motion picture keeps dragging us back in. Remember how we raged at the 2011 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, it’s happening again. Make sure to listen til the end to hear about a couple of things we actually appreciate about the film and explain our many, many disappointments. We go in-depth with Uncle Steve’s original novel and try to parse exactly what went so terribly wrong with this new version. It’s a real journey. Don’t worry, we’re back to our chipper, fun lovin’ selves next week.
