The darkness of Tuesday has descended on the world once more and it brings with it another incredible episode of the Reel Film Nerds Podcast! Today the gents review yet another horror movie. Mike is just loving all of these horror releases and Matt well let’s just say Avengers: Endgame can’t get here soon enough. Today Mike Talent and not talented Matt discuss the 2019 reboot of Pet Sematary. Off topics include way too much “That’s What She Said,” Goose V Church, and Brightburn.
Pet Sematary is not horrible but it is not an incredible movie either. It drags especially in the first half. There are some really great fun creepy parts but they are too few and far between. The acting was incredible well most of the acting was incredible especially by Jeté Laurence. The sets are beautiful and the cinematography was great. But overall both of your hosts were disappointed. They really had high hopes for this remake and it did not live up to expectations. Mike thought Pet Sematary was just average giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was not impressed at all. He thought it was a lackluster attempt at a reboot. He enjoyed the acting but felt the film as a whole just dragged. He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels.
Thursday we talk about a new Netflix Original, Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. It is a biopic based on the two Texas Rangers who hunted down and killed infamous bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde in 1934. If you have Netflix give it a watch then tune in for our thoughts Thursday. Chat with you then.
