While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I only found out this movie even existed yesterday when I ran into it on the shelves of my local library, which has a quite good DVD section where one can borrow DVD's for free. Thank goodness for that, free, I mean, because I'd really be embarrassed to admit I paid actual money to watch this abomination of a movie. It is bad, really really bad. So bad in fact, I'm thinking of writing to the production company and requesting they pay me for watching it!

The original Salem's Lot with David Soul and James Mason was a staple of my childhood. It still scares me senseless and although a little dated is a masterpiece as far as TV Movies go. The depiction of The Master borrows heavily from Nosferatu and is terrifying. To put this laughable sequel into context, The Master in A Return To Salem's Lot borrows heavily from The Muppet Show.Everything about this sequel is cheap and nasty. The acting is diabolical, it's not even Hallmark quality. The story is mildly interesting but proceeds at such a ridiculously fast pace it's bewildering. For example, an old Nazi Hunter (yes, really) turns up in town, has one conversation about the town with the hero of the movie and suddenly turns into Van Helsing, believing without question that vampires exist even though he has zero experience of any or hasn't even seen any and goes about destroying as many as he can with a bunch of homemade stakes.This is the biggest flaw of the movie, there's no investment in characterisation, everything happens at lightning speed because the story demands it and to hell with any rhyme or reason. The characters are so one dimensional they may as well be cardboard cut outs. Even The Master is so poorly written and realised he's basically just an elderly gent in a black suit with absolutely no menace, and when he finally reveals his true face at the movies climax it's hilarious, because he just becomes an elderly gent in a black suit with a Sesame Street mask on.I rated it 3 stars because to be fair in some parts it's downright hilarious, but sadly for all the wrong reasons.

Michael Moriarty stars as a man returning to Jerusalem,s (Salem's) lot with his son after inheriting a house from his aunt with the intentions of rekindling their father/son relationship, but its not long before they realise something is not right. I saw this and the original 1979 on VHS 20 years ago, this film had me in stitches with the bad acting and what looked like bad tomato sauce fake blood, did the film makers decided to make a vampire movie and cash in on a sequel to Salem's Lot and ruin it.if you want a movie to watch if you are bored try this, you might just end up falling asleep to it.

Return To Salem's Lot fits into a select category of films I like to label ONE A.M. HBO Specials. These were the films HBO showed to death between 11pm and 6am during the mid-to-late 80s, when there weren't 500 other movie channels to choose from. HBO never showed Casablanca or other TCM-type classics, so their stable was somewhat limited. Some were cheap teen-sex comedies (Summer Job, Bikini Car Wash Company), while others were cheapie underground horror flicks (Clownhouse, Student Bodies, Night of the Creeps). RTSL falls into the latter category. If you watch this film the way it was likely intended to be seen (as a campy drive-in special, worth viewing at 2am simply because it beats watching Sha-Na-Na), then it can be quite entertaining in its way. Many of these 1am cheesefests also featured unknown up-and-coming stars (Clownhouse had Sam Rockwell, RTSL has Tara Reid), as well as established actors at the tail-ends of their careers (Andrew Duggan is downright wonderful in RTSL).Granted, not every horror film is The Shining. But movies like RTSL definitely have their place.
