 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another movie review. We're in front of the King shelves here So we're doing a Stephen King adaptation and now we are going to start talking about Pet Cemetery 2019 The TLDR for any of you King fans who come across my channel or subscribe to my channel And you just want to know my opinion on whether or not you should go spend your hard-earned money To watch this movie in the theaters. I would say definitely not Right now I am sitting on that line as far as a rating is concerned a line that is Right at red box like I pay two dollars for this movie and not be mad Me I spent 25 bucks to take me and my wife out the movie date night kind of thing So that was the first upset She liked it. She enjoyed it. Yeah, I guess as a non-king fan. She has no Level to judge this at she liked it for the for the movie that it was that's fine. She's seen the original film She I don't think she enjoyed that one quite as bit as much as this one So I'm gonna go ahead and say as a Stephen King fan. This is not a Stephen King fans movie If you're just looking for your average run-of-the-mill horror movie Then yeah, certainly, but if you're coming to watch Stephen King's Pet Cemetery boy, this ain't it My first non-spoiler Discussion section. I'm gonna be talking about is the absolutely atrocious casting of Ellie I thought the little girl who played her in such a pivotal role in this iteration of The Pet Cemetery story she she was terrible The little girl had a she had a lot of a lot of weight on her shoulders to carry You know the torch gauge in the first movie And I guess you could call it a spoiler, but it's in the fucking trailer I mean that doesn't make any sense. You're gonna have such a huge twist to the story I actually thought it would be it would have been awesome Had I watched the movie not knowing anything about that and that's what I was trying to do But the comments section just would not let it go and finally someone snuck the spoiler in that was in there for the For the for the for the trailer the big change The change isn't even what I'm what I'm mad about it could have worked It could have very well worked had they gotten an actress a young girl that could pull that off She kicked her makeup was so incredibly bad. The acting was absolutely atrocious I think the only thing they got right and now we're gonna go into spoiler territory because everything else I have to say is a spoiler. It's gonna end up being a rant video. I know it is But if you're Stephen King fan, you're likely gonna go see this movie without me telling you yes or no anyways, so I would think But The the only thing they got right as far as this new change this new direction for the windigo or whatever you want to Think possesses the bodies is The the corpse was talkative more this time than just saying, you know, not fair or daddier things that gauge said in the original Film now in the book version of the demon or whatever It is very talkative and it can be cheesy But that is not that is not to the positive because that was one of the things in the book They're probably the only thing that ever felt Odd in the book to me and out of place was that kind of exorcist your mother sucks cocks in a hell Carousel kind of attitude from the demon and I guess During that time that was just something that you know Writers were doing, you know, it was it was more of who let the evil talk whereas. I think gauge 19 what 89 I can't remember when the first movie was made. I think it was 89 Gage was far more scary in the original than Ellie was in this one Now one of my biggest problems With this is something that my friend Cody Tidwell hit on when he had watched the trailer I had not and he said the film just looks cheap. I was still trying to tell everybody. Hey guys Let's calm down, you know I was even saying going as far as saying because I still hadn't watched the trailer even though I knew the twist I Went as far as saying, you know that book is full of dreams So maybe that isn't the change, you know, just trying to give everybody a chance Give the film a chance. Well, I was trying to be the cheerleader boy and I wish I would have kept my fat mouth shut Could because there's a there's several scenes in the dark in this movie and every single one of them Looks like there's some CGI just There for fucking no reason whatsoever Could they not afford to shoot at night? Could they not find a decent location? What happened? Why were we? That why were we? Shown at this terrible CGI darkness that looked straight out of like Disney XD I mean, I'm not shitting you at all. It looked like an episode of Zack and Cody and I can't wait for like Zack and Cody fans to be like that wasn't on Disney HD XD, I don't know. All I know is that my kids watch these shows they watch Disney XD and they watch Zack and Cody But I remember, you know, like walking in When one of those shows is on they'd be like out in the woods or something where some place is dark And that's how bad the fake dark was in this movie. It was so so bad The new gauge is absolutely pointless. There's there's no emotional connection to him whatsoever There's no emotional connection to Ellie. There's no emotional connection to anybody in this film whatsoever They even nerf Judd the simple character that Judd was they completely nerfed him By making his just completely Destroying the relationship between him and Lewis him the the book is Mostly told from Lewis Creed's point of view in this one It almost feels like they were going for a psycho-esque kind of thing Because at the beginning it kind of feels like oh Ellie is the main character kind of like they did in the dark tower Where they're like, oh, Jake's maybe the main character We spent very little time with Lewis even during the I don't I don't like the new Pascal That that just seemed like something in the original story. It felt there was there was an emotional connection there I don't know why but there was and in this time there absolutely wasn't one In fact, I kept I kept on having to take a double a double The makeup on the dude's face can't be that bad and it was I think that's one of the things that was their name Mary Lambert or what it got right in the first film is that Everything looked at least a bit convincing Whereas in this one that there is so much that looks wrong You can tell that church is just a dirty cat with gooping it with gooping it's fur that you can tell There's even some fake Like son cracking they do to Judd's face that is really really bad I don't know if they were planning on shooting in a lower resolution So that was terrible I think The mother What's her name Ellen? I think the mother was the best actress Lewis is that guy from Terminator Genesis or whatever it was I didn't care much for him He could have been anybody Nothing about this movie has any heart and I think that's the biggest complaint I have that's the biggest complaint I'm gonna walk away with is there is no heart to this we are just meant to Feel bad because this man loses a child and then he goes he goes crazy I never saw that descent in in this version of Lewis it's almost like the heartless, you know soulless The shining a Kubrick did which he sucked all the heart out of it and try to pump as much art into it It's possible pretty shots the discordant music all that stuff in this one It just feels like somebody taking the book bit by bit and going okay. Well, how about if we tweak this? And at the same time every time they tweak something they just they just took all the the motivation out of the characters I think the biggest complaint I have one of the things that I've already said is I Hated the relationship between Lewis and Judd here because it didn't feel earned It just felt like you know these two neighbors that were just dealing with this really weird Situation and of course the ending is is pretty shit The very last scene that is an that is an almost perfect ending for book and original movie That is the perfect ending. That's the only way it can end. So maybe It's three o'clock in the morning here. I'm literally out here three o'clock in the morning Is someone's racing a bike up and down the street? um Welcome to Alabama But shoot where was I where was I even going with this? I don't know. Um, but there was The I think it was the the relationship between Judd and Lewis never felt earned It just felt like something that was tacked on it wasn't unbelievable. I didn't believe any of these characters I thought for just a split second and this is maybe a huge spoiler. I'm not sure I mean I already said there's gonna be spoilers from that point on but I Almost thought they were gonna kill both kids and I think that would have been a great Oh, the ending is where I was going. Sorry about that So the ending they have like the whole family like they're gonna get the family together You know, it's it felt really really silly And I think it was an attempt to try to make a perfectly dark piece of media Darker I think they were struggling with that. How are we going to push it one step farther and they completely and utterly failed But that's my thoughts on pet cemetery. Good Lord. Let me know what you think down there in the comments below But until next time I have any you've been you this has been Unfortunately a negative movie review of one of my favorite Stephen King properties. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
