Vampyyrit takaisin Salemissa – Onko tämä uusi elokuvaversio Stephen Kingistä hitti vai huti?

Tutustu uuteen Salem's Lot -elokuvaversioon – onko se tarpeeksi pelottava vai vain keskinkertainen? Lue ja naura!

Stephen Kingin kauhutarina "Salem's Lot" on saanut uuden elokuvaversioinnin, ja tällä kertaa ohjauksesta vastaa Gary Dauberman, joka tunnetaan parhaiten "IT"-elokuvasta. Uudistetussa versiossa pääsemme jälleen seuraamaan Ben Mearsia, joka palaa kotikaupunkiinsa, vain huomatakseen, että siellä on jotain pahasti pielessä. Vampyyrit ovat heränneet henkiin, ja sekoitus keskinkertaisia stereotypeja ja Kingin loistavaa tarinankerrontaa tuo haasteita tämän kauhutarinoita fanittaville. Studiossa on varmasti ollut viihdyttävä kokemus, vaikka tulos voisi olla parempi.

Elokuvan juonessa pääpaino on Marsten House -nimisessä vanhassa, karmaisevassa talossa, joka on kuin varkain noussut keskelle tapahtumia. Melkein yhtä sydäntäsärkevä kuin Kingin alkuperäinen teos, elokuvan hahmot ja juoni tekevät parhaansa, mutta saavat ne silti aikaan lähinnä hymähdyksiä. Vaikka Daubermanin yritys on kunnianhimoinen, elokuvan tempo voi usein tuntua huteralta, ja se karkaa faneilta käsistä, kuin vampyyri auringonvalossa.

"Salem's Lot" on jo kolmas kerta, kun Kingin klassikkokauhu tuodaan valkokankaalle, ja sillä on isoja saappaita täytettävänä. Etenkin, kun kaksi aikaisempaa elokuvasovitusta, 1979 ja 2004, saivat hilpeästi sekalaista palautetta. Tällä kertaa Dauberman kehitti tarinan kuitenkin hieman toisella tapaa, ja itse asiassa fanit ovat jakautuneet kahteen leiriin: toiset rakastavat uudistusta, kun taas toiset kaipaavat vanhojen kulta-aikojen viehätystä. Hienoa kyllä, keskustelua elokuvasta käydään kiivaasti, ja sen avulla voidaan satsata lisää Steven Kingin faneja.

Mistä löytäisit tämän uuden "Salem's Lot" -version? Elokuvan voit nauttia HBO Maxin kautta. Eikä unohdeta, että "Salem's Lot" -elokuvasta on tulossa myös esiosat, jotka perustuvat Kingin novelliin "Night Shift", mikä tulee varmasti herättämään lisää keskustelua. Ohessa mainittakoon, että Kingsin teoksilla on omat erityiset faninsa, ja keskustelu uusista sovituksista riemastuttaa varmasti myös heidän sydämiään. Joten, uskallatko katsoa?
