PET SEMATARY

Nothing special to watch here. It was okay. I watched the original a couples months back and this film follows it pretty close. Just like that Carrie remake this is like a do-over. Why almost copy the original like that. Anyway, it did have a few jumpy moments which is something I'm looking for in horror pictures but this film suffers the same way the original did and that's the father being so ridiculous. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Towards the end he did seem to get his brain back but the film stopped him from success.

Grade - C

Man was this dull. It's honestly more boring than just straight up awful, but considering the amount of praise this has been getting from critics was expecting so much more. I didn't give a shit about any of the characters in this with maybe the exception of John Lithgow and that's only because of how much I like the actor not his character. The performances aren't even bad, but Jason Clark is such an uninteresting/unengaging lead with how low key he plays the role. The actress who played the wife was a lot more lively with her performance. Also, outside of some gory, disturbing horror imagery here and there I thought all the scares were pretty lame in this. I never felt any tension or suspense once, and damn did I hate the ending.

The only good bit was the flyover of the burning house at the beginning, and the dolly shot up to the blood-smeared veranda before any characters were introduced. Gave the impression the viewer was in for an auteur-ish horror masterpiece; and then the firecracker went to damp and meandering frizzle with about as much suspense as a daytime thriller, with slightly better visuals, and a cast just able to make something of a bland, boring, yawning script.

I guess it wasn't all the way bad though, in that daytime TV with good actors kind of a way.
