This is one of those vampire/comedy movies. Definitely a must-see. It has two great actors (George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino) who are bank robbers trying to get to Mexico. They end up kidnapping a family (which includes a former priest, a son and a daughter (Juliette Lewis)) and they take their RV to get past the border.

Once they arrive in Mexico, Clooney and Tarantino who are the Gecko brothers in the movie are meeting their friends to split up their share of the money that they stole from the bank. The place to meet was the Titty Twister (great name huh?).

Everything was going fine until a big fight breaks out and almost everyone in the bar turns into vampires. The best part of the movie has to be the show that Selma Hayek puts on in the bar. She is absolutely amazing.

This movie is a must-see just for that part with Selma Hayek alone.

This movie won 9 out of 10 stars for me.

From Wikipedia:

‘Salem’s Lot is a 1975 horror novel written by Stephen King, and was the author’s second published novel. The title King originally chose for his book was Second Coming, but he later decided on Jerusalem’s Lot. The publishers, Doubleday, shortened it to the current title, thinking the author’s choice sounded too religious.

The novel has been adapted into a television mini-series twice, first in 1979 and years later in 2004. The novel was also adapted by the BBC as a seven part radio play in 1995.

Mark’s thoughts on this movie:

We chose to start with this movie to review mostly because this was one of the first horror movies that Toby and I watched together. We have a real thing for vampire flicks and this is a good one. The book is better, by far, but the made-for-tv movie wasn’t a bad adaption. This movie has always kind of given me the chills. The thought of the way this vampire-virus might spread through a small town is compelling. We are talking here about the 1979 version and not the newer one in 2004 – we might review that one later, but as I’ve read the book about 12 times and have watched the movie at least that many in the last 4 years we’ll stick with this one first.

One of my favorite parts in this movie is when the good doctor, played by Ed Flanders and Ben Mears played by Starsky and Hutch star, David Soul go to the morgue to see if a woman who they believe to have been bitten by a vampire would rise from the dead or not.

The vampires are a bit hokey by todays standards, but the movie seems to move along quite well and the acting is OK for a TV movie. I’m a huge fan of this movie. Its not the best vampire ever made – I’d leave that to Vampires by John Carpenter (the original – not the follow-ups), but this movie tends to do a pretty good job of following a pretty good book.

The other thing I like about this movie is that it seems to be one of the few films based on a Stephen King novel (except maybe Carrie, Firestarter, Coojo and IT) that really flows well. I mean the movie seems to take out all of the extra fluff from the book and really moves through the scenes with intesity.

If you haven’t seen the original Salem’s Lot, you should. It makes for a great night curled up on the couch with your significant other.

I’d give this one an 8 out of 10 stars.
