Stephen King adaptations are in abundance, with the horror author's works being adapted for the big and small screen regularly. Sometimes they've been masterpieces (check out our list of the best Stephen King movies), other times total flops, but Max's recent take on Salem's Lot is already shaping up to be promising.
Straight away, the one thing that stands out to me is the fact they've chosen to keep it set in the 1970s. This already feels like they're staying faithful to the original novel and I'm pleased they haven't decided to modernize it. The 70's vibes just work and if it isn't broken, don't try to fix it!
