Little Nemo McFly Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I LOOOVE the night shots of the cemetery - and the rolling smoke. LOL - felt like an Ed Wood movie. I love it. It all looked...really good. But ah dunno how you can improve on what was already a pretty good adaption. Kinda feels like Savini's Night of the Living Dead remake - it'll be an interesting 'exercise'...but not really needed. Nowhere near 'IT' levels of hype for me. This is almost a short story - and the look n' vibe seem to fit that. I'm interested in checking it out - not expecting the reinvention of the wheel or anything.

Donatella Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Damn, the twins they got to play Gage actually look like the original Gage from the 80s version! I wonder if they'll be as fucking creepy as that kid was. This looks good but why are we getting a trailer six months in advance? I don't think it needs/warrants that kind of extended hype.

Keth Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Caught this with some coworkers this weekend and I loved it. I've never read the book and can only compare it to the original movie. I like the changes they made for the most part. But I wasnt too big on the ending. The alt they shot that I read about sounded alot cooler. All in all though this was solid and a really crazy ride. Props to the cat that played Church. Best actor in the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) So, Pet Semetary. I'm going to try and give my review without sounding like a pretentious film snob: - It is a solid, mainstream "for everyone" horror film. It subverts expectations if you've seen or read the OG stuff. - it made a couple key changes that were a little...of the time which was good. (ie: indians are spoooopy) - But i can't help but feel if you took the EXACT same cast, recorded in the EXACT same place, but gave it to a more indy horror director, it would have been fantastic. - Yeah its big on jump scares, and its formulaic. the ending was cute since it did differ from the source material but i don't think you need to rush out to see it. Edit: You should follow the church cats on instagram because they are adorable. https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3554987/important-psa-cats-played-church-pet-sematary-instagram-accounts/ Edited April 10, 2019 by Bindusara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 It feels like it was cut down for time, so its character beats don't have as much emotion as they need. This feels like another possibly great movie that was lost in the editing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
