The 35mm screening of this TV miniseries is part of the Stephen King season at BFI Southbank and you can find the full details of the season here. The presentation will be introduced by Stace Abott from the University of Roehampton.
BFI introduction:
The small screen proved the perfect vessel for King’s story of a sleepy Maine town infiltrated by vampires (humorously described by King himself as ‘Peyton Place meets Dracula’), with the mini-series format allowing ample space for multiple narratives to develop. A heavily edited two-hour cut was released theatrically in Europe, but the full-length version most effectively captures the spirit of the original text.
Here (and above) is an extract.
