The premise, however, was good enough. Following the immortal female thief and some mortal guy. Anyway, I found my mind fading back to the simpler times of my youth. Remember these spooky kids from the trailer? Jud explains that anything buried on that Indian land returns to life, which seems a neat coincidence when Louis’ youngest child is hit by a semi and killed. I remember him being in exactly on episode, the one about the twins, which was also the only good one. Highlander was popular with women. Ownership is such a mess that no one can get paid near enough what they are owed so no one will give permission for any kind of deal. That Jules Verne’s writings were based on actual adventures he’d had as a young man. Midkiff is a slice of beefcake that was moderately hot for about 8 minutes in the late 80s and doesn’t have nearly the acting chops for the part of Louis. One of the paradoxes of life is that it is possible to get better and worse at the same time. It was probably the inspiration for Galaxy Quest. The stories just didn’t need it. It was everything the films could have been and just weren’t. But we were hand waving that away with mumbles about, economic downturns and not having gotten into the right industry at the right time. One person found this helpful. Anyway…”Pet Sematary” (1989) is about big city doctor Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) moving his wife and two kids to small town Maine. The ideas just became exhaustive and repetitive. The original “Pet Sematary” is a like a super-sized episode of the TV show “Tales from the Darkside.” It looks and feels like a TV movie for the most part, though a pretty good one thanks to the direction of Mary Lambert and the standout performance by Fred Gwynne. Very similar to Friday the 13th: The Series. Is she a demon? ( Log Out /  A loyal reader asks. He worked the graveyard shift because of a rare skin disorder which made him react badly to sunlight. Its ultimate problem was that it was clearly treading a path that was a little too well-trodden. The Houston Rockets with James Harden could win an NBA title by playing the ugliest and least entertaining basketball anyone has ever seen. The original Highlander was a decent enough Eighties urban fantasy film. What we think of as ‘cable’ came into being during the Eighties. But it did seem to work as a functional reset because everybody was so determined to forget everything about that movie, that we also sort of forgot that there shouldn’t be any more Highlander films. With Kevin Sorbo, Lisa Ryder, Laura Bertram, Gordon Michael Woolvett. “Pet Sematary” (2019) exists because Paramount Pictures needed to make a movie to fulfill its corporate release schedule, still owned the rights to the story, and the remake of “It” in 2017 made money so why the hell not? But as it was, it turned into a hackneyed fight of week show. You found one, I never heard of. So, none of the Star Trek series qualify. Lambert takes the inherently unworkable concept of a killer toddler…I mean, any grown adult could simply punt the kid across the room…and creates some genuinely chilling and disturbing scenes. A couple others I used to watch were Nightman and the Swamp Thing TV series on USA network. Like the film, this series followed the formula of a contemporary (A) story, with a concurrently running (B) story that was told in flashback. Didn’t they have some lame mass amnesia explanation for why no one remembered? Was bummed that there wasn’t a sequel. Admittedly, I wasn’t living in America between 97-99, so it would have been difficult. When Nick would work a case, he would be reminded of something that happened centuries ago and the B story would take place in the flashbacks (put a pin in that one, we are circling back to it). Not realizing that the Boomers had managed to re-write the rulebook for Gen-X.

And I know I said. One note about the Secret Adventures of Jules Verne: it has apparently never been run again on cable or released on DVD/Bluray because the producers managed to sell 500% or more of the show to its backers. That’s funny, I read the description and the first thing I thought of was Forever Knight, I figured you wouldn’t remember it. Werewolf, it was only on 87-88 and it’s never been released on DVD, but it was a solid step above the horror shows of the time. I kept waiting for the show to get better. And a remake of Dark Shadows? In the first season, they didn’t bother with a duel every week. Seriously, what sort of uber-controlling jerk does that? Currently on the television front, Hawaii Five-o and Rockford Files are going to make debuts sometime this Fall in their respective networks. Beastmaster was excellent. Pet Sematary (1989)Written by Stephen King.Directed by Mary Lambert.Starring Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwynne, Denise Crosby, Bard Greenquist, Michael Lombard, Miko Hughes, Blaze Berdahl, Susan Blommaert, Mara Clark, Kavi Raz, Mary Louise Wilson, and Andrew Hubatsek. It had a lot of potential if given more seasons. It was a short series, but it had some memorable plots and intrigue. 5.0 out of 5 stars Just as fun as it was in 1979. This is where your .dmp files are going each time you download. It’s one of those fake out horror flick conclusions where the villain is defeated but then returns at the end for a final scare. Louis thinks it’s a strange thing to do and thinks it’s even stranger when the cat comes back the next day. When the Nineties arrived the cable TV rules changed. It didn’t seem to do much of anyting except cause a light show. Stephen King wrote the original book and then the screenplay for the 1989 version and I think conclusively answered the question of why so many of King’s great books have turned into such crappy movies. Now the big rule I came up with for this list is that the show had to be more or less forgotten and it had to be dark fantasy. In the theaters we have already seen revivals of classic and iconic series, like, Brian Trenchard Smith Puts the Pedal to the Metal with Drive Hard, Rachel Nichols is a Time-Traveling Cop in New Sci-Fi Show Continuum. How the hell did no one on Earth remember an alien invasion where half the population of the planet died? Louis’ wife is an a-hole, though that’s more because you can tell Denise Crosby spent the entire production thinking “I left ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ for this?!? But it was usually playing in the old Monster Chiller Horror Theater timeslot of 10:30 on a Saturday night and if there wasn’t a party to go to that night it killed the time. The child then buries her in the cursed Indian ground. I really liked the first two seasons of the Beastmaster. When the Creed family cat dies, Jud takes Louis into the woods to bury the cat on haunted Indian land. She Wolf and Professor Boyfriend would investigate supernatural occurrences. Lasted only one season, and maybe too scifi: Harsh Realm. P. Sumida. The script was weak and the villain was corny beyond belief. Everybody switched from having only three network channels, (plus PBS and a couple of UHF stations) to having twenty-five channels, (plus HBO). You can see it in the world of the NBA where the athletes are better and coaches and teams have more information about what does and doesn’t work than ever before and the result is a boring game where every team plays exactly the same way and it all boils down to just a three point shooting contest. That is on clear display in this edition of KIMT’s Weekend Remake Throwdown as we see the failure of a creator to adapt his own work to the big screen get topped by remakers who fail to understand why he failed. The original “Pet Sematary” is a like a super-sized episode of the TV show “Tales from the Darkside.” It looks and feels like a TV movie for the most part, though a pretty good one thanks to the direction of Mary Lambert and the standout performance by Fred Gwynne.

The acting was good enough, the performers were bringing the goods but the plots just weren’t there.

The remake’s version of Jud (John Lithgow) is much less of a windup exposition machine but he’s not a tenth as memorable as the original. The biggest flaw in “Pet Sematary” (1989), however, it that all the characters are a-holes. I liked Poltergeist: The Legacy very much. She-Wolf of London used a title from a classic horror movie and repurposed it. Cable TV had indeed and truly become ubiquitous in the 1990s. Louis then buries her and she comes back, just about to stab Louis with a butcher knife before the screen goes black and the movie ends. Then, while Louis is struggling with his undead daughter, his wife skewers him through the chest. Dale Midkiff after his final meeting with the writers of "Time Trax.". When my “life-crushing” responsibilities were laughable compared to what they are now; the Nineties. You were supposed to fill in the blanks with your imagination.

It ends with evil triumphant and an innocent child about to be murdered by its own parents and sibling. It is an award-worthy performance and the primary reason anyone ever cared about the original film at all. The remake’s directors, Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, make their individual scenes look much better than the 1989 version but they pale in comparison to the verisimilitude created by Lambert.
