Unnecessary Horror Remakes by Whorticulture.com
According to IMDB.com, someone is remaking Pet Sematary in 2012.
What the Hell, Hollywood? No! Bad Hollywood!
I don't get it. Is the 1989 version, directed by Mary Lambert, not good enough anymore? That shit certainly fucked with me as a kid. For starters, I was super afraid of some crazy little undead toddler wielding a scalpel under my bed. No, Gage, I don't want to play! Go play with Herman Munster!

They are also remaking IT in 2012, and it's only going to be 2 hours. In order to do IT justice, it really should be a mini-series of at least 8 episodes.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine what they'll have to cut out of IT to make it fit into two hours. It'll be absolute shite, like that Dreamcatchers movie. AND NOBODY CAN PLAY PENNYWISE EXCEPT TIM CURRY. That is a known fact.
ReplyDeleteI read that they're going to stay true to the book and make it very violent and bloody. I can't imagine what they can do to make Pennywise creepier than Tim Curry's. He's the reason why I'm terrified of clowns.
ReplyDeleteI hope this remake is nowhere near as bad as The Shining remake. I never could figure out why Stephen King didn't like the Kubrick adaptation nor why he creamed over the craptastic tv miniseries.
ReplyDeleteSteven Webber (from the show Wings) as John Torrance? Ugh, Nicholson owns that role. Wings boy shat all over it.

ReplyDeleteYou know what's sad? I know people who get, like, VEHEMENTLY ANGRY when you say the Kubrick version was the best. I don't get it, that other horseshit sucked. Kubrick is where it's at!
God no!
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
The Kubrick version was amazing, but in terms ber version was where it's at. I have no problem with either version, but I definitely prefer Kubrick's for the creepiness factor.
ReplyDeleteAs for the supposed Pet Semetary remake, I have to ask - Have we seriously run out of ideas? I mean really? Pet Semetary scares me to this day - "I play wif Mommy, I play wif Judd...now I wanna play wif youuuu, Daddy." Shudder.
This does NOT need to be remade. But hey, this is coming from the same town that's doing a Spiderman "reboot" less than 10 years after Tobey Maguire put the suit on, so we can see what drives these ideas. (Note: Although, if they do remake it, can they please make the daughter less annoying? She was the one thing that bugged me about that movie.)
