Pet Sematary (2019)
Over-hyped, boring, cliched, stupid, don't waste your money!
But the cat was great, though!
This movie was so bad, I got bored in the first 30 minutes and couldn't wait to get out. It used up every possible cliche - the couple moves to the countryside, the wife has a troubled past so she's unstable, there's a creepy drawing done by the kid, the creepy neighbour who's actually not creepy at all but kind and wise, etc, etc. It was so predictable. Such bad acting, it was ridiculous. Apart from John Lithgow, he was great. But Jason Clarke was especially bad.
I didn't really care what was happening, I couldn't care less about any of the characters. There was no atmosphere, no uneasiness, no creepiness. Every scene in the woods, behind the cemetery, looked so cheap and amateurish, with the fake fog, branches-cracking noises, some distant creature screams. Oh and the dialogue, the dialogue was so pointless and stupid, "What is this?What are we doing here?What is this place?" over and over again. And even corny at some points, like when Jud says that little Ellie is the only thing that touched his heart after a long time, ugh, I wanted to puke.
All in all, don't waste your time or your money on this. 3.5/10
The Resident (2011)
Good cast wasted on a bad idea
Boy, where do I begin? Like many said in the message boards, this film uses every possible cliché there is. Some of the scenes were supposed to be scary and demented and dark, but they come across as ridiculous, thanks to bad acting. That's the other thing that appalled me. Swank and Morgan are good actors, as is Pace, yet here they are horrible. Their expressions, the dialogue, the editing, it all seems like it belongs in a B production TV movie. There's no tension, the movie is predictable from the start. The whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking it was an old movie, when Swank and Morgan were not established as actors. I was shocked to see it is from 2011. Can not imagine what made them accept their roles. The only reason I watched it till the end was Morgan, as I enjoyed watching him as John Winchester in Supernatural, and especially as Negan in The Walking Dead. He is also the sole reason why I gave this movie a 3/10. Wouldn't even recommend it for a lazy Sunday afternoon when you've got nothing better to do.
