PET SEMETARY (2019)>>>>>>POSSIBLE SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Stephen King's book is really good and scary and while the 1989 film was hit or miss, there could not have been better casting than Fred Gwynne as Jud and the scene where Gage is killed is extremely well done. My daughter had been acting up that day I first saw it and after getting her to a nap, that scene truly hit home and pointed out how bad things could be.
This starts out OK, but the WICKER MAN bit when Ellie discover the Pet cemetery is quite contrived and a serious foulup by not showing the true and deep friendship Louis and Jud acquire over time; here it's almost like acquaintances that see each other every so often. AND, having Ellie killed instead of Gage just destroys any credibility this has-maybe the filmmakers thought being older, she might be more frightening. A ridiculous ending as well. *
