Pet Sematary Review (2019)

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Brandon

My History With the Film: After the success of IT, all sorts of Stephen King adaptations went into production. Somewhere more interesting than others, but none were quite as interesting as Pet Sematary, a favorite Stephen King story and beloved movie for people born in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Time has not been kind to…

Creepshow: Season One Review (2019)

Posted on June 1, 2020 by Brandon

My History With the Franchise:  I’m not a huge Creepshow fan. I love anthologies and am a huge fan of Tales from the Crypt, but Creepshow just didn’t do it for me. Maybe I need to revisit it, but it’s always just one of those films that I didn’t seem to “get.” I think I…

IT: Chapter 2 Review (2019)

Posted on March 9, 2020 by Brandon

My History With the Film: In 2017, I went to the drive-in and saw IT and loved it. In 2019, I returned to the Raleigh Road Drive In to see IT: Chapter 2 and found it to be a little underwhelming. That might have had something to do with it being a double feature and…

Doctor Sleep (2019) Review

Posted on February 17, 2020 by Brandon

My History With the Film: I remember when the book came out and I wasn’t super thrilled. The Shining didn’t seem to need a sequel and I haven’t read a full length Stephen King novel in many years. I never did read Doctor Sleep, but once a movie was announced directed by Mike Flanghan I…

Pet Semetary Audio Drama Review (1997)

Posted on March 25, 2019 by Brandon

In 1997, BBC Radio 4 aired an audio dramatization of Stephen King’s classic novel Pet Semetary. It originally aired as six thirty minute segments, but can be found now in three one hour episodes freely online, on Audible, or on CD. Late one night in September 2018, I was driving home from my mother’s rural…

This is Horror [aka Stephen King’s World of Horror Review] (1986)

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Brandon

My History With the Film: In 1986, a documentary called Stephen King’s World of Horror was released. The documentary consisted of interviews with horror directors (Wes Craven, Dario Argento, John Landis, etc) and also featured clips and trailers from horror movies throughout the years. Despite a running time of 270 minutes, Stephen King is only…

The Mist Review (2007)

Posted on September 17, 2018 by Brandon

My History With the Film: I don’t remember the first time I watched The Mist, but it had to be around 2008 or so. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the film other than it starred Thomas Jane and was based on a Stephen King novella. A couple hours later, I sat with my…

1922 Review (2017)

Posted on May 2, 2018 by Brandon

My History With the Film:  It’s been talked about again and again, but 2017 was a huge year for Stephen King adaptations. Movies like IT, Gerald’s Game, Mr. Mercedes, The Dark Tower, and 1922 were released. 1922 is a Netflix horror release that was announced just a few short weeks before its debut. It stars Thomas Jane…

Pet Semetary 2 Review (1992)

Posted on April 23, 2018 by Brandon

My History With the Film: Pet Semetary 2 caught my attention back in 1992, because Pet Semetary was arguably the biggest horror movie to come out in 1989-1990, at least in the eyes of the elementary school kids I hung around with. Everyone loved Pet Semetary and it was not surprising to see a sequel…

IT Review (1990)

Posted on January 9, 2018 by Brandon

My History With the Film: I first saw IT on VHS back in the mid-1990’s. My step-sister had suggested we watch the film one night and after a quick trip to Blockbuster we sat down to watch the beloved Stephen King mini-series. I would never describe IT as a frightening, because it never struck that…
