Pet Sematary - Stephen King

source

This is one of my favorite Stephen King novels honestly because I really like the plot and it’s eerie and atmospheric. I don’t like Louis and never have, he’s making one questionable decision after another and it’s hard to relate to him. Sure, losing a family member like that will probably drive you crazy, but it’s his actions way before that that made me dislike him so much. He brought Church back and knew exactly what was going to happen and then he mistreated the cat every chance he got.
I love this concept as a story, but in my opinion it doesn’t work as a movie at all which is why the two movies I watched just seemed ridiculous to me. The ending in the book is also a little ridiculous and I can’t really take it seriously? There is no way a grown ass human can’t hold back a 2 year old that just came back from the dead with a scalpel. I think the decision of essentially making a small child say all these things to Jud was questionable at best as well and I wish he hadn’t spoken at all tbh. In one of the movies, I think the newer one, Ellie dies instead which makes the murdering Jud and Rachel a little more believable but still. I love the book though and it was easy to get through.

It’s interesting reading SK and how the men are easily manipulated into the darkness that tempts them. This time reading was the saddest hard hitting time, and i believe that’s due to me now having a son of my own it just hit me so hard. I really wish to know more aboit the Wendigo, some of those descriptions were just out of this world scary like imagine being in those woods by yourself hearing all kinds of things, knowing you’re burying the dead to come back to “life” and experiencing pareidolia every which way you turn .. that was so creepy and how you get into this trance almost while venturing to the location .. just such a dark, dark place.
