What the movie really fails to succeed at is making Gage (or any other  reanimated thing) as creepy and horrifying as the book did.  The things Gage says and the way he acts are terrifying with only a paragraph or two.  The movie completely removes that.

'Misery' is definitely personal but it's more like Tom Hanks being kidnaped and tortured by a psycho fan.  Not that it isn't personal but reading PS you could feel a man emotionally pulling apart while losing his family.  What made the story cohere was that a normal, successful individual completely broke away.  And…

It's hands down his most personal book.  There are passages that are out and out heartbreaking  and it has some of his most creepy, keep-you-up-at-night reading he has ever produced.  People will make arguments for "IT" or "The Stand" and while both fine novels, I have always thought "Pet Sematary" to be his best.…

I can't read.  And I'll thank you not to laugh.

There's a third [REC]?  Damn, I really liked the first two.  This is probably something I'll watch even if it gets killed by the critics.

That was fucking hilarious.  Seriously, I can't stop laughing.  "Heeeere comes Mr. Meatloaf."
