Ooh, I like Under the Shadow! Great episode! I feel like the old Pet Semetary is a movie that I enjoy throughout and this new one is a movie with parts that I enjoy and impatiently wait for. I could have done with some more changes, especially in the first half. Until about halfway, I felt like I was watching the exact same movie but with less interesting dialogue. The audio clip you guys played was a perfect example. It reminds me of in school when we’d have to “write something in our own words” and we would just change a word or two. “The ground is sour. What’s another word for sour?…Ooh! Bad! The ground is bad!” Also, I’ve seen this three times and never noticed the “pig-headed horror” in it, but I don’t have the eye for it like Jay. Lol!
Glad you enjoyed the episode!
