King called it a slow burn old school thriller the way movies used to be. Sounded unbelievably boring for modern audiences. Might be great but it ain't gonna make no money.
shareThere have been some successful slower paced horror movies in recent years. Hereditary and the Babadook come to mind.
shareAt least we'll get to see it.
shareThe only SALEMS LOT that matters is the 1979 movie with David Soul.. The end
shareSince no release date is set & no trailer released, they are probably trying to sell it to streaming. Probably not 100% that Max till buy it as its not their 2024 release schedule-
