Even though its the baby that dies in the book and in the original, but of course nowadays movies studios are too fucking pussy to have a baby die and show it come back killing people. Theres just no balls anymore in cinema, gotta play it safe.
Undead babies are creepy. (Even still.) Undead kids are a dime a dozen. The decision, which i'm sure made production easier and cheaper, guts all of the disturbing nature of the tale.
shareExactly, making it the older daughter is a cop out, the baby dying and coming back was what made the book and original movie so disturbing and demented. As you said how many times have we seen evil kids killing people? but how often do we see baby's killing people?
Baby Gage is one of the main things people remember from the original Pet Sematary.
Not to get loaded but they even could have gotten edgy with abortion issues if they wanted to be modern as F.
shareI remember laughing my ass off when they first showed the undead Baby Gage! So not scary at all!
shareReally? i thought it was demented and creepy as fuck seeing that innocent baby brought back as this lifeless shell and murdering people.
shareIt was played out so much better in the book. I admit I was disturbed by him in the book but he just looked too cute and funny in the movie to be scary to me.
I get what you're saying though :)
I remember laughing my ass off at your childish and immature username, kehehe! And it was like, 5 seconds ago, lol.
But yeah, in the original movie it was kind of hokey the way re-animated Gage plays out, especially when Rachel's body drops out of the attic and Gage flies down like a baby superman.
However when the truck runs him over I thought it was genuinely horrifying. I was 2 when this movie came out and my mum told me years later that she had a very difficult time watching this movie solely because I was roughly the same age as young Gage. Stephen King is very very good at tapping into family horror and pinning supernatural horror in the background.
Lol, yes well that's what you get when you let your 8 year old son pick your username ;)
I think if they had had him say the things he said in the book it would have been much more creepy and disturbing but with standards the way they were back then, I'm not surprised they didn't.
That scene where he was hit was very hard to watch, I was about 16 at the time and I remember tearing up and being very bothered by it. Especially the sight of his little shoe all bloody :'-(
That and how boring it was.
shareIt’s easier and cheaper to film an undead 9 year old. The original looks weird.
shareYou already started an identical thread crying about this film.
Why obsess over something you dislike?
Are you so thirsty for attention?
