Tobe Hooper's scary version of the Stephen King bestseller retains its visceral power - and even has a few extra frames of added gore for good measure. David Soul is not ideally cast as a writer but James Mason displays creepy authority as a sinister antiques dealer who is actually the ruthless watchdog for one of the most frightening vampires on film - Reggie Nalder's haunting appearance terrifyingly recalls the original Nosferatu.
