One fact it´s that the old man (Judd) was played by Fred Gwynne, who also played Hermann Munster in the Munsters (Gwynne size was 6´5´) . There is also a cameo of Stephen King, who wrote the book who is based on (the priest in the funeral).
Hey Eezy, thank you for this great reaction. Today is a holiday for me, and my family. It is an Islamic holiday (Eid) and I was so happy to see a new reaction by you. I liked what you said about grieving, and it was so sensitive, and compassionate. Thank you again for the reaction.
Nowadays, people don't spay and neuter their cats to control their hormones only. It's to prevent further overpopulation, which causes abandoned strays and way too many feral cats that live short, miserable lives.
I cant actually verify if this is true or not.. but I do remember reading somewhere that they got Miko Huges (Gage- the baby) to say his lines and act out scenes by bribing him with McDonald's 😂. Apparently, he loved McDonald's enough that it got him to do what they needed, and it kept him happy and cooperative. Great reaction! This is my favorite scary movie lol, always has been. Also Stephen King hates this book lol. Because its mostly a true story, up until Louis's son gets hit by the truck. In real life Stephen King got to his son in time. But he wasnt sober and started writing about it as if he didn't get there in time, and like his son didnt make it. So he wrote it, and hated it because it was so depressing, it had zero silver lining, and no hope. He says he hates writing like that, and never does, except this book. He shelved it, and decided with his wife that he would never publish it. Then the publishing company needed a new book because he had a contract, but he didnt have a new book yet, except this one. So he thought about it for a long time and eventually sent them Pet Semetary. He said he understands why other people like it, but personally its his least favorite of all the books hes ever written. I understand why, but its definitely my favorite. And no lol.. they didnt kill the cat. They had multiple cats for the movie.. and the one Louis put to sleep, was really good at playing dead.
As a horror fan, this is one of the top 10 horrors that literally gave me awful nightmares. Zelda (played by Andrew Hubatsek) is terrifying. Gage is the most adorable ki!!er ghost ever and some of the best acting for a child his age. Loved the reaction, Thanx much, take care, Peace
Zelda was the thing from this movie that stayed with me the most. I saw this movie at the theater and while it was scary, Zelda was absolutely terrifying.
SK fans, just like his work, can be a bit much, but we're usually a pretty welcoming bunch. The quality of his movie adaptations over the last 50 years has ranged all over the spectrum, but I feel like this one gets more flak than it deserves. My biggest gripe with it is that people can walk away thinking "terrible parents," when the book makes it super clear that the spirit(s) in the burial ground directly cause all the problems. They cause the parents to look away just a second too long, they cause the truck drivers to speed recklessly down the road, they cause people who know about the ground to share the information, and they pull people back once they know about it. The spirits feed off of grief and chaos, and they influence people's choices to increase both.
I thought I remembered that from the book... that a lot of the story is about supernatural forces of good vs. supernatural forces of evil trying to exert influence. IIRC, Judd is kind of possessed when he leads Louis to the Indian burial ground, and that's why Judd, a frail old man, is able to run ahead of Louis through all that difficult terrain. There's a similar situation in other SK books, like Johnny in the Dead Zone being inexplicably compelled to attend that rally for the aspiring senator and shake hands with him.
@@Glasskey10 Exactly! You're right. He loves to have spirits/darkness amplify the very worst personality traits and instincts of his characters, which eventually leads to unexpected behavior and decisions with heavy consequences. Judd really is a father figure for Louis, which just adds another layer of horror and grief to the outcome of the story.
Back in the 80s and before, they used to be able to heavily sedate animals for movies; I don't think they allow that anymore. There's a scene in the movie Used Cars where a dog is heavily sedated so that he'll look dead, and in the movie Manhunter (1986), there's a scene where a woman is petting a tiger that has obviously been given some serious tranquilizers. When Manhunter was remade as Red Dragon (2002) they had to shoot that scene without tranquilizing the tigers, so it was just well-trained tigers and very brave actors.
@@randomlyreactandreviewfirstEzy it made it more unique that they had a child death and them made the baby the bad guy 😂 you didn't see that a lot in movies.
