Salems Lot Fans Call for Max to Release Three-Hour Directors Cut
The remake of “Salem’s Lot” debuted on Max on October 3, and it’s an understatement to say that viewers were disappointed with the film. Directed by Gary Dauberman, this new adaptation fell short in many aspects, particularly in character development which was a key strength of both the original novel and Tobe Hooper’s 1979 miniseries. It has been revealed that Dauberman’s initial version of the movie was three hours long but was reduced to a concise 113 minutes, prompting numerous “Stephen King” fans and horror enthusiasts on social media to demand that Max releases the Dauberman cut, similar to how DC fans pushed for the release of Zack Snyder’s cut of “Justice League” in 2017.
