An anthropologist goes to the town of Salem, where he grew up, to spend a vacation with his young son. He will soon discover that his former fellow citizens have all become vampires and would like to include him and his son in their lineage. Cohen, known for having directed some good horror films (including "Baby killer"), signs one of his worst works by bringing to life a disjointed film and at times unintentionally ridiculous. The effects, let's call them "special" are shoddy and the story (which, despite the title, has nothing to do with the nice story by King) is predictable and lacking any original twist. To be avoided.
