This short film is a demo scene from the book The Talisman written by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Mathieu Ratthe is a very talented film maker and this demo scene really proves it. I would have to say this is one of the most well done and entertaining short films I’ve ever seen.
With the announcement of the graphic adaption of Stephen Kings N it appears that Stephen King is on top of the world. Marvel has announced it will be adapting the short story N, from the Just After Sunset collection of short stories, into a 4 part graphic novel. It will begin circulation in March of 2010.
I am going to be writing reviews of a few older films in the coming days. I feel that the older horror films that may or may not be known are just as scary of the newer movies coming out day to day. The first movie i wanted to review is a movie called Pet Sematary.
I think we all know the plot of this movie. The creeds move into a new house. The family cat is hit by a truck. The neighbor Judd takes Louis to a secret Pet Sematary. Later, Louis finds the cat revived and with a new evil personality. When his son dies in a fatal accident Louis, hoping to revive him, buries his son in the pet Sematary. He ends up unleashing evil.
This movie in my opinion is the best adaptation of movie to film done by king. The movie features outstanding central performances by Dale Midkiff,Fred Gwynne, and Denise Crosby and some really gruesome gore effects. Mary Lambert has a great visual sense. Lambert made an already creepy novel into a frightening viewing experience.
Lambert certainly knows how to scare the audience. The scene of Zelda, in my opinion, is by far one of the scariest images in a film I have ever seen.
Gage Creed is by far the most memorable part of the movie. He goes from being one of the cutest kids in a horror film to a monster. Obviously, he is still a charming little kid. What is memorable to me is how well he was depicted as evil towards the end. The line that stuck out most to me is when Louis has to give Gage a shot that will kill him. Gage goes from being an evil killing machine to a innocent child again who begins to cry along with his father. “No fair, No Fair, No Fair.” Its one of the best horror films i have seen.
