He did. The place was like an addiction. When you went there, it gave you a huge adrenaline rush and made you feel really good and you would get a sort of addiction.
I love John Lithgow as an actor, but as a Mainer, Fred Gwynne's goofy over the top accent in the original is one of my all time favorites. I couldn't wait to see what Lithgow would do with it and it doesn't appear he did much.
@@seekanddestroy9835 1989 version is closer to the book, the 2019 veers off from the book and Is totally laughable that the family walk around like zombies at the end and to say the 2019 version is superior is ridiculous
I love the metaphor and symbology of the reboot. They are resurrecting (rebooting) the classic film for its success and the Pet Semetary made the reboot an abomination. Classic Judd to the cast and crew of the reboot: "I know what ya thinkin', but sometimes, the original film is enough. Somtimes, no reboot is bett-uh!"
the original actually had a defined story line too this one just seemed rushed which is ashame as it had potential if they hadn't cut all thr good bits out it would have been better i.e deleted scenes has a fairly decent mention to timmy and creepy flash back sort of
@YangKurosaki they hardly showed anything. A shadow that you could barely make out, in the already dark woods. They might as well have not even shown it at all.
I watched the deleted scene from this version of Jud telling the tale of Timmy. His voice just isn’t the same as Fred Gwynne. When told Fred told it to Louis in the original it freaked me out for a long time.
Is that John Lithgow?Damn he is old but very talented actor.Big movie star in the 80's and 90's i liked him the movie Richocet with Denzel Washington as a cop and senator and John Lithgow as the villian.I liked hom on the sitcom 3rd Rock.Also the other actor cant remember his name but he played in Public Enemies with Johnny Depp.Very good actors on thus remake of Pet Cemetary
Theres a bit near the end of the book where everyone realises they've been played by the wendigo. Jud realises it while he's waiting for louis to try and stop him taking gage's body to the place. In teh book he's not drugged by Louis either its the power of the place or wendigo that forces him to sleep. Louis also unfortunately realizes it too late that right from the start it was wendigo who forced church into the road too.
@@julieworsley5048 I haven't read the book but by going by movie analysis I am right. Jud even said himself he thought church would return normal and nice because he was raised in a good home
If Dead is better and knowing that human nature always gets the better of everyone, why did he bury Church in the burial ground and revealed its secret? He single handedly killed the family
If they would have added the Timmy baterman story, and kept the story from the book, added the milkman showing jud the burial ground for his dog, and changed the ending to the alternate ending, this film would have been perfect.
This scene in particular from the 1989 movie when Judd was talking to Louis about his dog they did a flashback of when Judd was a young boy and the dog came back semicolon it would have been awesome to see a newer and scarier version of Biffer... I do remember the 89 movie jud's dog was named spot?
They should have changed names, made Lithgow the vet Jolander from part 2, added references to the Creed incident 30 years ago and called it Pet Sematary III. It veered so damn much from the original story anyway.
Even though most of the acting performances in this film was better than the original, this portrayal of Judd wasn’t any better than Fred Gwynne’s performance.
Unpopular opinion: I like the 2019 version better than the original. Several reasons: - better performances all around - a better atmosphere, a real chiller feeling throughout - the change with the daughter dying in the movie is better because she's a more fleshed out character with distinct personality. So you feel it more when she comes back as this twisted demon mimicking her behavior and hobbies - Church the cat is better. He looks like an actual dead cat that's been reanimated - the ending, radically different from the book and original movie, gives an even more twisted, disturbed premise. I will say though, the Timmy Baterman story, which was left out, really was a missed opportunity. John Lithgow's reading of that gave off a real "tale around a campfire" vibe (even if in the promos it looked liked a fog machine running on a haunted house set)
I actually disliked Ellie dying precisely because she was a more fleshed out character. Losing that, losing her maturity as a non toddler kid, meant we lost one of the points of view. Gage the baby was plenty disturbing coming back, and then Ellie the older kid had the Pascow subplot. Which was severely lacking in this version. I don't mind the cat, cat was okay. But I don't like how the wife kept a sound (soundish) mind to her. Since she doesn't believe that Ellie is truly back as herself, she clearly is disturbed, everything seems so avoidable. Instead of watching the woman rush to her death that we know she can't escape, it is borderline a situation from any cheap horror movie where you're like "Move, idiot!" who would call original wife idiot for running back? Not only were sinister forces at play but also she was deranged with loss. More over, they have freaking smartphones! She called just on his mobile phone, he has her number! The moment he realized Ellie was back undead, he could have called the wife and told her to not come back. Tell her hubby has gone off the hinges so at least she wouldn't bring the kid back. Jud in the original tried to warn her but he couldn't call her back. Although, that's not the only problem modernization caused, at least for me. In the book and the original movie, it is a slightly patriarchal way of life, the "good" patriarchy so to speak- the women are quick to rely on men because they trust them, and men are raised to stand in front of women so they get hit instead of them, they are told to carry the load and not burden them with even the knowledge of something uncomfortable if they don't have to. That plays into characters' motivations and actions. When you remove that, as live action did, and don't replace it with something else, it becomes lacking. Stuff doesn't add up, it doesn't flow smoothly. Wife who is as independent as the one in the remake would have did more to avoid all the crap that happened. Hell, she wouldn't have locked herself in the nursery waiting for what she KNOWS is a malicious zombie to attack her and her baby.
Its ashame they can't get a three year old to talk like an adult because in the book when Gage comes back he does talk like a man also with alot of vulgar language. I prefered the original as tehre was more of a storyline and its truer to the book I find. Zombie ellie was really creepy though and definitely one of the few good points of the remake. I'm so gutted they didn't keep the deleted scenes in because that made the film soo much better
@@stefanmakara373 100% agree it just felt very rushed to me the orginal film was disturbing to me but this new one was boring although put the deleted scenes back in and its actually a semi decent film. Also just to add to your last comment about her not hanging around in the nursery you also knowing a malicious zombie is in the house certainly wouldn't lie down for a nap you'd be like nope leaving right now
Nope I loved it I don't see why this movie get so much hate. Btw if you have not already check out the alternate ending which was a downer but more interesting. See which one you like the alternate is on youtube.
The actor for Louis in the 89 film did horrible. I at least liked his reaction to seeing church's corpse in the new film instead of the "yep, that's church alright." from the original.
I love Pet Semetary in any form. Book, 1989 or 2019. Can take any. However, the remake failed on a lot. Zelda was constantly teased, totally missing the shocking scene from 89. By the time she appears the films been like "Zeldas coming, don't forget about Zelda" every ten minutes. Also Louis didn't seem to even like Jud in 2019. Don't seem like good friends at all.
This is a joke. Lithgow is a great actor but his movie is a joke. They did not even try, no flashback scenes. Who hires these modern producers and directors. The only talent they have is to make great ideas boring and weak.
So is bloodlines part of this remake storyline or the original. Cause young Jude doesn’t should like original Jude to me. Just speak pattern and accent is off
"Once you feel the power of that place, you make up the sweetest smelling reasons to go back. But I was wrong. Sometimes dead is better."
What's the difference between the Sematary or the Cemetery? I don't get it.
@@Kaijufan360 in the book, the sign to the pet cemetery is misspelled and starts with the letter S. It’s supposed to be because children created the pet cemetery

John Lithgow is one of my all-time favorite actors, but he just can’t measure up to Fred Gwynne’s original performance.
He just kind of phoned this one in. Fred Gwynne will always be Jud
He's not supposed to
Yep the remake isn’t that great the original is worlds better

He did. The place was like an addiction. When you went there, it gave you a huge adrenaline rush and made you feel really good and you would get a sort of addiction.
Then again he just wanted to help them. He knew ellie would be heart broken so he wanted to help out

@@Blight6666 he did want to help but the wendigo twisted his need to help for its own purposes and made him think it was a good idea.

He did more but they edited out much of his scenes. Definitely not lithgow's fault
Isn't Fred Gwynne Herman Munster from the Munsters?
@@jonasbrothersrockist Indeed he was.
Had the first Pet Semetary never existed this would of been more likeable for me but the first one was just so much better it put this one to shame!.
Its not suppose too
Amen to that
Only thing i didnt like about the first one was no wendigo
1:27 looks like this guy's got a broken finger
Adam Rainwater it does WTF 🙀
0-0
No
This and the original film missed the connection between Jud and Louis. That was literally half the book was their father/son like relationship
The remake turned Jud into the creepy old man next door that Louis seemed almost disgusted/annoyed at.
i love that snap at 0:50, the switch just flips and hes thinking "ok, lets do this" before asking about the dog
Who is watching this in 2020
"SOMETIMES DEAD IS BETTA "
I like John Lithgow, but I felt like Clancy Brown would’ve been a perfect choice for Jud Crandall
Which would be ironic, since Clancy Brown was already in an adaptation of Pet Semetary (in a sequel).
@@SpaceCase132 True. He was also in the Shawshank Redemption, another Stephen King adaptation.
If there were ever to be a biopic on Fred Gwynne the. Clancy Brown could definately portray Fred!
1989 blows this one out the water. No comparison.

I love the metaphor and symbology of the reboot. They are resurrecting (rebooting) the classic film for its success and the Pet Semetary made the reboot an abomination. Classic Judd to the cast and crew of the reboot: "I know what ya thinkin', but sometimes, the original film is enough. Somtimes, no reboot is bett-uh!"
As one guy said, he seemed like he was phoning it it. Fred Gwynne during this monologue was awesome.
No scene showing the dog, no scene showing Timmy ...lame! The original is perfection. It could never be outdone
Yeah, but couldn't Louis act like he gave a damn? Jud was the best part of the original, Louis was the worst.
Too bad the original didn't show the wendigo like this one did tho..
@@AnthonyKurosaki1409 Eh, they barely showed him.

Sometimes, Fred is better.
Sometimes you get a feeling that you need to go back and remake pet semetary. But sometimes dead is better.
John Lithgow is starting to look like his friend Harry the Bigfoot.
Sometimes NOT making a remake is better.
The concept of different adaptations escapes you, right?
He's right dead is better than live
“don’t do it stotch”
You can't really blame this on jud because he just wanted to help

Every time you reminisce about DNF.
If Dead is better and knowing that human nature always gets the better of everyone, why did he bury Church in the burial ground and revealed its secret? He single handedly killed the family
Because the "forces" in the burial ground made him do it. It was like he was intoxicated.

John Lithgow was in Daddy's Home 2
Warning:
If you buried someone in a pet sematary, they come back to life and killed anyone else just like he said.
"Sometimes dead is better”
I LOVE John Lithgow. But the role of Jud Crandall will always belong to FRED GWYNNE.
To me Fred gwyn will always be Jud .
Always wondered what happened to John Lithgow after that helicopter crash in 1993 - glad to see he’s happily retired.
Lol that was a hell of a cliffhanger
Even though most of the acting performances in this film was better than the original, this portrayal of Judd wasn’t any better than Fred Gwynne’s performance.
That's funny, Walking Dead version of Pet Sematary but...
WINDIGO!
Some things Are better left dead......
