The US state of Maine in the 1850s: After losing his wife in a tragic accident at sea, Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody) and his three children are drawn to his ancestral home in the sleepy town of Preacher's Corner. In an environment of prejudice, hostility and unspoken secrets, the widower begins a dark and terrifying journey to his own roots - and to the origins of the vampire legend surrounding "Salem's Lot."
With vampires, it's like Stephen King: Goes all the way! Especially when the two collide. As in this adaptation of one of the horror master's short stories, which allows all the gothic horror of classic horror stories to become the basis for the mythos surrounding "Salem's Lot," also created by King. Including all the dark corners, sinister characters, terrifying secrets and jumpscares the genre has to offer. And with Oscar winner Adrien Brody, who gets to play a bit of Haunted House here as the catalyst for his own dark family history. A sure thing for King fans!
