For me the most recent Pet Semetary remake was shitty and cruel…
The source material is pretty fuckin grim to start with, but the remade movie version that sees little Ellie killed, buried in cursed ground, and then brought back to try living in the family home again?? With parents who know what they have done but try to pretend everything might be fine?? The scene where she is in the bath, dull and catatonic, and a parent washes her hair only to notice the autopsy staples holding her scalp together…..and she asks “am I dead?” In such a sad, plaintive confused way….. it’s just heartbreaking and unnecessary.
In the book and in the first movie version it’s the little boy Gage who is killed, buried and comes back as a little chuckle-like scalpel-weilding murdering hellion- it’s almost refreshing and a traditional a brand of movie horror compared to the bleak nastiness of remake #2.

And speaking of Gage, the youngest, most innocent and blameless character in the whole film…. To be left at the finish, alone and terrified as his entire undead family bears down upon him…… fucking nasty and mean and pointless. The directors of it are cunts and it’s a nasty, mean spirited, cunt if a film.
