We’re Back! - A Dinosaur’s Story (1994) – Exploring the Past

TL;DR – A fascinating time capsule to the early 1990s, which might feel as far in the past as the dinosaurs featured. ⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3 out of 5. Post-Credit Scene – There is no Post-Credit Scene.Disclosure – I paid to watch this film. We’re Back! – A Dinosaur’s Story Review – I always like plugging in gaps in my knowledge when it comes to cinema, especially when it hits one of those topics…

Shortly after this past New Year's I made a crossover video of the forgotten other Spielberg "Dinosaur Movie" from 1993. We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story. Released months after Jurassic Park. I decided to make a crossover/mashup trailer parody of the film with the former beloved 1992-1995 PBS Middle School show Ghostwriter. Because the child actors Blaze A. Berdahl and Joey Shea were in both "Ghostwriter" and "We're Back". Blaze played Lenni (the middle school rap artist girl and GW team memeber) and Joey played a main antagonist role. In "We're Back", however Joey voiced a 2nd protagonist character named Louie (and is much nicer than his GW live apperence role). Miss Berdahl voiced the blue bird only seen at the begining and end of the movie. What also inspired me to do this was a trailer mashup crossover from 2011 with the Ghostwriter team along side "Thomas the Tank Engine" in Thomas and the Magic Railroad (original cut). Special thanks to YouTuber Robdeltonie for his original idea here: https://youtu.be/Nr473fgre94

Pet Sematary (1989)

Ever since my high school self decided to make a film adaptation of Pet Sematary as part of a book report, this story has haunted me - mostly as intended. This 1989 take is a mixed bag. It’s a faithful adaptation of the work and Fred Gwynne is terrific in it. Too bad the other performances are dead on arrival and certain elements of the book just don’t translate well visually.

The Creed family – Louis (Dale Midkiff), Rachel (Denise Crosby), their daughter Ellie (Blaze Berdahl), and toddler Gage (Miko Hughes) – move into a new home whose forest backyard contains the local pet “sematary”. When their cat is killed, their neighbor, Jud (Gwynne), feels compelled to tell Louis about a place that will bring it back to life.

If you read the novel by Stephen King, everything in it is here. Too much of it, in fact. Throughout, the ghost of a jogger Louis tried to save (Victor Pascow, played by Brad Greenquist) attempts to steer the Creeds away from the doom that awaits them in the Mi’kmaq burial ground. Why is he here? What does he accomplish? To reinforce the theme of death, I suppose. Same applies to Susan Blommart’s character Missy Dandridge. She serve no purpose in the film, not really. Screentime they eat up could’ve been used to expand on the relationship between Jud and the Creeds or to show the effect of the cursed burial ground on those who visit it. Once you realize what the place does, it’s obvious no one in their right mind would encourage anyone to bury their cat there. You have to assume one trip to the damned place means you’re compelled to go back but that’s the problem. You have to ASSUME.

The main reason Louis chooses to bring the cat back to life is his wife, whose sister’s death as a child left her traumatized. Whenever the film flashes back to Zelda Goldman, she’s obviously played by a man (Andrew Hubatsek) under a slab of makeup rather than a woman. Why? To try and generate creepy imagery? Nobody outside the film crew knows.

In many ways, 1989's Pet Sematary is dated but it's most obvious during the climax, which might’ve freaked people who saw it as kids but will have anyone who views it now chuckling. It's not a complete disaster. There are some iconic ideas and visuals. The story’s good. Fred Gwynne is such a memorable actor he charms you even when his character is badly written. He fares much better than Dale Midkiff, who is awful as the lead. His character is not convincing, which doesn't help. At least he makes the film entertaining in a “so bad it’s good” kind of way, which means this Pet Sematary is sometimes legitimately enjoyable and often ironically fun. (July 18, 2020)

Cimitero Vivente (1989) e Pet Sematary (2019)

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. La scorsa volta abbiamo discusso della nuova trasposizione de L’Uomo Invisibile diretta da Leigh Whannell, una trasposizione del classico di Wells in chiave moderna. Un film che ho trovato interessante sotto molti aspetti. Quello che sicuramente mi ha colpito di più è come abbiano unito bene le tematiche dell’invisibilità e della violenza domestica, due…

Lambert keeps the real horror #For the final act and the gradual journey there is tense and uncomfortable at times. Aspects of the showdown between Louis and his undead #Son reminded me of the final act of Monkey Shines so it's interesting to read that Romero was first choice to make this film. He'd have #Done it a good service I'm sure but Lambert knows how to make good horror too. A couple of dud notes (the repeated flashbacks don't always #Work to the films advantage and the montage of photographs as the son is hit by a truck is sort of cheesy) but mostly this is grim and #Sinister in an effective sort of way. Gwynne is great as the mysterious neighbour and Greenquist makes for one of the more original ghosts #In horror movie history. Good horror stuff but some unpleasant scenes for the uninitiated

Pet Sematary (1989)

Plot: Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) and his family move into a lovely house that has two major problems; a busy road with trucks hurtling along at high speed, and an old Indian burial ground down a woodland path. The two soon combine to make his life a nightmare.

Review: The work of renowned horror write Stephen King seems to be in vogue right now, following the box office success of the IT reboot; and so thirty years after this version, we have a new Pet Sematary in cinemas.

That version will have to go some to beat this one. While now beginning to show the signs of age, Pet Sematary remains a convincing and (mostly) authentic take on King’s book. That’s probably due to his near constant presence on the set: filmed in the Maine area, the location in which the novel takes place, the movie was made virtually on his doorstep. He also has a Stan Lee moment with a gratuitous cameo. But with his opinion to draw on, director Mary Lambert was probably more in touch with the source material than many directors, while also having a sense of what would and wouldn’t work on screen.

While most modern horror goes for a series of jump scares (see IT), stalking and slashing, or gross out moments, Pet Sematary manages to display an eerie, unsettling type of horror instead. It doesn’t rush things, getting the pacing right across a film that clocks in under two hours, but builds to a crescendo. Lead Dale Midkiff isn’t exactly the biggest of names, but he does well as a man who starts off normal and happy, but as events take their unhappy turns you can see and feel his pain as withdraws within himself and mentally checks out. Fred Gwynne, aka Herman Munster, puts in an unsettling performance as neighbour Jud as well.

Not everything is perfect; the idea of Louis being haunted by the ghost of a patient falls flat, and the special effects on the ghost, sister-in-law Zelda, and at other moments lets it down. But it has King’s seal of approval, and it’s easy to see why.
