![]() Since most normal people already love dogs, seeing them in this light will leave them petrified (especially if they happen to have one waiting for them at home while they popped out to the cinema). There isn’t much that needs to be done to make this a properly scary movie, because it involves a big dog going evil and attempting to eat everyone. Check out the trailer below, and try not to laugh as the killer dog attempts to head-butt it’s way into a car, while the driver acts with all the energy of a recently lobotomised sloth. The original Cujo, on the hand, was too far the other way. They remade Carrie a few years back, and the reason it couldn’t hold a blood-covered candle to the original is that they turned a horror into a tragedy, trying too hard to make a movie about a bullied telekinetic teenager feel real, when really it should have been a horrorific X-Men revenge tale. In the right hands, it could be incredible, which is why we’re very happy that the director of the remake of It has said that once It: Chapter Two is done and dusted, Pet Sematary is what he wants to make next. The directions that the plot goes to are INSANELY dark, the kind of stuff that is guaranteed to give hard-core, grown-up horror fans reasons to lose sleep. There was talk of George Clooney headlining a remake a few years back, but nothing came of it. The original was directed by Mary Lambert who, just like David Fincher, began her career directing music videos for Madonna, in her case being “Material Girl” and “Like A Virgin”. And things take a very dark, much more personal turn from that point… When the family’s cat dies, the loving father buries the pet there, only for it to come back to life, although now far more evil than it was before. So, here are five movies that were already made based on King’s stories, that definitely deserve another swing:Īpparently the only story that King wrote that he himself still finds scary, Pet Sematary deals with a family moving to a new home, with a nearby – yep, you guessed it – pet cemetery, which itself is nearby an ancient Indian burial ground. Tim Curry was obviously amazing in it, but there was also A LOT of faffing about, and it ultimately came down to The Losers fighting a space-spider, which was a bit of a deviation from the book, to put it mildly. ![]() ![]() The first take on It was … difficult to fully verbalise. With that in mind though, there were some King stories that were adapted, and in the footsteps of the 2017 It, there is room for improvement on the second go-around.
