Zakiyyah6 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I agree that nobody should be expecting Pet Sematary to do 700mil worldwide but it could do fine if they pull it off. I thought the original was decent (like a 6.5/10) but it can be improved upon in my opinion. I do agree that a shot for shot remake would be unwise. Can't wait to see the casting for it.

Pet Sematary is completely different and hard to pin point genre-wise. It isn't a real zombie story, it isn't a real supernatural story and the horror is really mostly internal (character fears, thoughts, etc especially Zelda parts of the book) rather than external. TV movie was garbage cause it focused on shitty effects (that fake dummy cat, lol) instead of a psychological part. There was a TV movie?

I was going to ask that myself, but thought it may have been a shot at how bad they thought the movie was? or maybe they just thought it was a tv movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yea, I definitely saw the movie in theatres. And it was not a bad film at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely saw it in theaters too and liked it enough. There were a few things I wish they kept from the book and it had an issue or two, I still liked it for what it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe it was a movie. They ran it during the week leading up to Halloween. That and the sequel with a Fake Zombie Dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 This has potential, but I'm not really a fan of that release date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty mediocre, not nearly as scary as the novel. Someone who claims to be such a big fan of the Horror genre should have known that.

A District 3 Engineer Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm following director Widmyer on Instagram. They're currently visiting some locations (woods) and hired a cat trainer from Vancouver this week. Film will be shot in Montreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This won’t make IT’s opening weekend as it’s total. Brand recognition is not the same. This film is not known here in the U.K. whereas my whole generation was terrified by the tv version of IT when we were younger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
