I hated the remake. The little boy in particular was just a generally annoying kid. And even an indie director could've said at some point, 'Kid, blow your nose and stop talking with your hands".
I'm a huge Kubrick fan, though. The original was the first movie I ever sat through (watched it at two years of age) and it changed my life.
I'm not a big fan of the book, either. I was surprised at how weak King's early stuff was when I finally got around to reading it. Salem's Lot is my least favorite King movie, but it's the best of his early novels.
