      Lost and recovered may bring disaster

      In the story, Louis repeatedly buried the lost beautiful life in the land of hell. The lost cat is no longer beautiful, and the person who has come back from the dead is no longer the original self.

      I am sighed when I see this, that is, what is lost and regained is not necessarily good. We always imagine that the good is coming back, but this is always no longer the same as before.

      For example, for lovers, is the reunion...

      Classic novel

      In 1989, the horror suspense thriller film " Pet Sematary | Pet Sematary "

      In fact, from the perspective of movies. . This has nothing to do with pets. . Just an introduction. . Calling the cemetery directly fits the story. .

      As a movie of 1989, it is already very wrong~ The author himself is also very good~ Although the story is not as good as the novel itself, there are many loopholes, but it is also very good. . Once you...

      Pet cemetery

      As a work from the late 1980s, the special effects in it may seem relatively backward nowadays, but the horror atmosphere it creates has not diminished in the slightest. The most important thing is that Stephen King's work is not only to give people a sense of horror...There are also many resonances in it. Such as moved...tangled...family love... longing for life and so on. The movie has a good grasp of the slightly bloody scale, focusing on creating nervousness and worry, whether it is the...

      Who can live forever

      I am a horror film fan. Unfortunately, there are too few films I have ever seen, especially those so-called horror films made by Forrest Gump in China. I only learned some mediocre bridges in foreign and Hong Kong films. Duan, really can only be seen as a comedy.
      Of course, there are excellent works, such as Hong Kong's "Damn" and Japan's "Ghost Call". The plot is coherent and can be justified. Some of the clips are indeed exciting. But it is a classic old work "Pet Cemetery" that...

      A great horror and suspense film, adapted from Stephen King's Pet Cemetery. A good atmosphere is created, the horror and the unknown bring out the madness of human nature, and the thoughts are profound. "A man's heart is hard. A man plants what he can and takes care of it. Because you sow the cause, and you reap the effect. And you often have to bear the...

      The whole drama is the death of the old man, and finally he got himself in. In the end, the husband was obviously crazy, and his mind was completely controlled by crazy thoughts. A two or three-year-old child has such a strong lethality. I am also drunk...

      Compared with the horror movies made in that era, the movies of that era still can't get high marks. The plot is protracted + the horror atmosphere is not enough. The only bright spot is that the causal relationship of the plot is clearly explained enough, and the others are not so...

    Evaluation action

    "Pet Sematary" has taken the route of traditional thrillers due to the limitation of the age, and the method of scaring the audience is very simple, nothing more than "disgusting pictures", "big faces suddenly leaping on the screen" and "stunned." "The sound effects" is a three-dimensional approach. This primitive technique is already aesthetically tiring, but when it was first released, the audience was frightened.
    As a female...

    Movie quotes

    • Louis Creed: I've tried to tell myself that I buried him alive. I'm not a vet. It was dark.

      Jud Crandall: Sure, it was dark. But his head swiveled on his neck like it was full of ball bearings. When you moved him, he pulled out of the frost, Louis. Sounded like a piece of ticky tape coming off a letter. Live things don't do that. You only stop melting the frost under where you're laying when you're dead.

    • [Jud tells Louis the story of his dog Spot]

      Jud Crandall: [narrating] It was the Ragman who told me about the place. He was half Micmac himself. He knew how I felt about my dog Spot. Spot had got caught in barbed wire that infected. When he died, I thought I was going to die. Ragman did for me what I did for you last night. Only I wasn't alone when Spot came back. My mother was with me. You could still see the barbed wire marks on him

      Jud's Mother: [in a flashback Spot the dog growls at Jud's mother] Jud, come and get your dog! He stinks of the ground you buried him in! Jud!

      Jud Crandall: [narrating] Spot, came back, alright. He wasn't quite the same dog that I knew. When he died peacefully in the night that second time, I buried him up there in the pet cemetery where as you saw, his bones still lie.

    • [Jud tells Louis why he helped him bury Church]

      Jud Crandall: A man doesn't always know why he does things, Louis. I think I did it, 'cause your daughter ain't ready for her favorite pet to die. Maybe with more time, she'll learn what death really is, which is where the pain stops and the good memories begin.
