Today we will introduce the American thriller horror movie "Pet Cemetery".
The title of the film is Pet Sematary (2019), also known as the grave (Hong Kong) / no-entry cemetery (Taiwan) / pet cemetery / new pet cemetery.
The film is adapted from the novel "Pet Cemetery" by Stephen King, a master of modern horror fiction.
Stephen King's creative inspiration comes from the experience of his pet cat being hit and killed by a truck on the main road next to his home. "Pet Cemetery" is the second time it has been put on the big screen. As early as 30 years ago, it was first made into a movie in 1989. There are so many horror novels by Stephen King, and the subject can be remade again, showing the degree of horror.
In order to enjoy a slow life, a family of four moved to a rural town in Maine. The hostess, Louis Creed, is a doctor. He found a job in the town hospital in advance. After quitting, his family moved to the town. The hostess Rachel Creed was the housewife and was in charge of the old family. Little life, daughter Ellie just turned 9th birthday, youngest son Gage is still a toddler.
Moving to the country house in the small town, the Creed family was full of freshness, especially the vast woodland presented with the property, which amazed the family.
As the family explored Xintiandi, strange things kept happening. There is a pet cemetery dedicated to burying pets in the vast woodland. On the roads of small towns, there are often a lot of big cars speeding by, and rural pets who are used to being wild are often hit and killed on the road. There are a lot of dead pets, and people in the small town have dedicated a place to bury these pets.
In fact, Louis found that his house was next to the cemetery, and he should immediately complain to the seller. The seller is a bit unkind and deliberately concealed such a major environmental factor. If Louis complained immediately, even if he couldn't change the house, he would at least be a little bit prepared.
When Louis went to work, he also encountered strange things. The patients he took seemed to remind him not to defy life and death.
Louis is a staunch atheist, so naturally he will not believe that there are ghosts and monsters. But the strange things he experienced were so vivid that he had a trace of suspicion in his heart.
After setting up the background situation, the movie should start scaring people at this time according to the horror movie routine.
Strange incidents happen frequently in Louis's house, which is inseparable from the pet cemetery near the house. When her daughter Allie was playing, and when Louise was sleepwalking, she had been here.
Later, everyone learned that this place was actually a mysterious place left by the Indians, with the function of bringing the dead back to life, and things became even more weird.
Compared with the old version, the new version of "Pet Cemetery" has improved the screen and music effects by more than one level. The most direct effect brought by the development of film and television technology is the sharp increase in the atmosphere of horror.
The new version of "Pet Cemetery" changes the main plot of the story from son Gage to daughter Ellie. In the old version of the movie, his son Gage is responsible for the return of the dead, and in the new version of the movie, his daughter Allie is responsible for the return of the dead. After all, in horror movies, female ghosts are more common and scarier. As the female body is weaker, the horror effect is better after being transformed into a ghost.
The film explores people's attitudes towards death.
Death is not terrible, everyone must accept birth, old age, sickness and death correctly. This is a necessary stage of life, and everyone can't avoid it or avoid it. Only by looking at death with a normal heart can we correct our attitude towards life and enjoy life. Only by accepting death correctly can everyone be truly equal before death.
Louis himself is a doctor and a staunch atheist, but when supernatural events happened to him, he immediately changed his scientific beliefs for decades.
Emotion can easily triumph over reason. Even if it was not his daughter who returned, Louis would insist on operating it. After the accidental death of his daughter, there was a chance for resurrection. Louis did not hesitate to seize this opportunity.
The seemingly determined atheist fell immediately. But his wife Rachel, who believes in heaven and hell, is firmly opposed. On the contrary, theists are more able to recognize the meaning of life and death than atheists, and the huge contrast creates irony.
The final processing method of the film returned to the B-level film route. The sound of screaming and running is endless, and the film returns to dead silence in a tossing.
The psychological horror is transformed into a more concrete visual effect. The audience obtains simple and crude results, but also loses the space for imagination.
The family must be neat and tidy,
Don't buy a roadside house.
