In a pet cemetery.
Went to watch the remake of Stephen King's Pet Sematary today and let's say... I was surprised. I am still trying to figure out if I was positively or negatively surprised, though. It was definitely a fun flick and it would have been quite boring had it just been a simple remake. But. The poetic freedoms the movie took were slightly weird. Not necessarily bad, but it might rub fans of the original version or the book wrong. I'd love to know what Stephen King himself thinks of the film. I can picture the old weirdo being amused by it. Actually, the tongue-in-cheek ending, as much as it made light of the horror element of the story, was a nice diversion from the whole theme and brought to mind more recent zombie flicks like Zombieland or Warm Bodies. But it cost the movie its scary ending.
Anyhow, it was a fun movie and whenever it did take its turns away from the original storyline, it did so with a wicked wink and some humor.
