- Synopsis
- TV Miniseries (2004). In this TV adaptation of the Stephen King novel, a journalist with traumatic memories of his haunted childhood returns to find his hometown being infiltrated by vampires. As a boy in Jerusalem's Lot, ME, Ben Mears (Rob Lowe) took a dare and broke into a local mansion called the Marsten House. There, he had the misfortune of discovering the corpses resulting from a scandalous murder/suicide. Decades later, he returns to find that a mysterious antiques dealer (Donald Sutherland) and his unseen business partner (Rutger Hauer) have moved into the Marsten House. Soon, townspeople begin disappearing and dying, only to return, floating outside the windows of their loved ones and begging to be let in. Only Ben and a few newfound allies suspect the awful truth: that something unholy has overtaken their town...something with links to the sinister mansion of Ben's nightmares.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A thoroughly enjoyable mini-series"
-
"This version, 25 years after a first and relatively well-regarded mini-series, more than justifies the considerable effort that went into making it."
-
"What makes all of that work so well here is a combination of credible acting, suspenseful filming and special effects that, especially in the second part, go beyond what you'd expect from the small screen"
-
"It's got a creepy moment or two, and fleeting glimpses of solid performances from supporting players James Cromwell and Andre Braugher, but most of it just plods along"
