The recent Pet Sematary remake was godawful.
imagine all the lazy CGI fire they would use in this remake. in the original they had practical effects fireballs that even back then looked cheesey, but it gives me pleasure watching them wireguided suckers wtfpwn bad guys.

Thats probably the best 5 minutes of movie cinema I have ever seen.

My girlfriend wants to watch the new one. I should put a fast one and put on this one when shes not looking.

The original has a few gruesome bits and is pretty dark overall. It's rare to come across a contemporary film that can be both cheap and hokey yet also serious. Digital cameras and CGI don't do shit for adding weight to a movie. You really need film stock and at least a combination of practical and computer effects.

i know you read the book, so you know The Shop agents pulled out her mom's fingernails and tortued her to death because they had lost track of Charlie when she slept over at a friend's house. the thing is thats in the movie, but i dont believe its ever explained what happened to her mom. you just see her husband finding her all fucked up and then he goes apeshit searching for Charlie.
Andy gives absolutely no fucks what he does to people who get in his way.
