It Chapter Two 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd September 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

A return to old haunts and a slaying of one’s demons; a fear that if they fail, heads will roll. It Chapter Two is one of the more obvious movie metaphors, though make your own minds up on the ongoing gag that the adult Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy), a famous author, is terrible at endings….

It: Chapter 2 featurette released

6th August 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** My 3-star It Chapter Two review is now live *** “Pennywise has a craving for the Losers… he’s missed them”. It’s just a month until the world’s scariest clown – when, let’s face it, all clowns are scary – is back on our screens, and a new featurette has been released to whet our appetites… It: Chapter 2 featurette released Read More

Pet Sematary (2019) 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th April 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Nothing sums up the difference between city and country in Pet Sematary better than the story of the reanimated prize bull. The people of Ludlow in rural Maine combine practicality and belief in old legends, encapsulated by the tale of a local farmer who used a supernatural burial ground to bring back his most valuable animal….

Pet Sematary interviews: “I didn’t think you could train a cat!” co-director Dennis Widmyer

17th March 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

***Read my 3/5 review of Pet Sematary *** I’m taking my mind off the apparently terrifying horror remake by congratulating myself that at least I can now I can spell “Sematary” the way Stephen King wanted, without having to check every time. Pet Sematary, directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, is released in the… Pet Sematary interviews: “I didn’t think you could train a cat!” co-director Dennis Widmyer Read More

Second Pet Sematary trailer – sometimes dead is better…

7th February 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

***Read my 3/5 review of Pet Sematary *** And let’s hope that tagline doesn’t come back to haunt them. Yes the original Smelly Cat is BACK! I didn’t see the original, 30 years ago, as I wasn’t really a pet person then. Also my mum would have banished me if I’d gone to see a… Second Pet Sematary trailer – sometimes dead is better… Read More

IT 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

9th September 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

*** Read my review of It Chapter Two *** It’s October 1988 and Bill is in his bedroom making a sailboat for his little brother, as music tinkles in the background. Though it turns out that this isn’t the soundtrack,  but their mother playing her piano. What isn’t really real turns out to be there, in the… IT Read More

Carrie 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

10th November 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Carrie realised that while it was fun to pull books off the shelf without touching them, putting them back in alphabetical order was beyond her telekinetic powers

When I first saw the original Carrie (not when it came out in 1976 – I’m not THAT old)  – with its horrific tale about puberty and first periods dressed up with the ultimate mean girls and telekinetic fire-starting powers – I completely got it. Puberty is horrible. Teenage periods are horrible. Just remembering it… Carrie Read More
