- Synopsis
- Writer Ben Mears (David Soul, "Starsky and Hutch") returns to his hometown of Jerusalem’s Lot in Maine where he becomes interested in writing a novel set around the sinister old mansion that overlooks the town. But suddenly the town is overrun by a series of killings where the victims are left drained of blood. Ben and Straker (James Mason), the mysterious owner of a new antique store, become the immediate suspects, being the only strangers in town. And when the dead start returning from the grave to drink the blood of the living, Ben and young monster movie fan Mark Petrie become the only ones willing to believe that they are facing vampires. And together they set out to trap and kill Barlow, the master vampire who inhabits the house on the hill.

-
"One of those stomach-churning, white-knuckle fright films that masterfully sets us up, shakes us around and leaves us jumping at our own shadows."
-
"It certainly delivered its share of scares"
-
"ts eerie atmosphere and Nosferatu-inspired special effects (all glowing contact lenses and levitating ghouls) chilled a generation."
