Salem's Lot

Salem's Lot (2024) is a Stephen King horror adaptation you can watch online on iFILM. Writer Ben Mears comes back to the town where he grew up, only to find something is draining Jerusalem's Lot one household at a time.

Lewis Pullman plays Ben, who returns to write a book about the creepy old Marsten House on the hill. Trouble is, an antique dealer named Straker has just moved into that same house, alongside a silent partner called Barlow. Soon neighbors turn pale, go missing, and start tapping at each other's windows after dark. Ben pulls together a small band — a teacher, the town doctor, and a sharp kid named Mark Petrie who says the word nobody else will: vampires. Bill Camp, Alfre Woodard and William Sadler round out the cast.

Director Gary Dauberman trims King's doorstop of a novel into a tight 113-minute scare, leaning on small-town dread rather than cheap jolts. It's a solid watch for fans of 1970s atmosphere and anyone craving old-school bloodsuckers with no romance attached. Stream Salem's Lot (2024) online on iFILM.
