Coming soon Souille!

So excited to introduce everyone to my new novel. I wrote it in about 2 weeks and I’m quite proud of it. I’ve been working really hard to make it great! It’s a Sci-Fi Adventure, short novel. But definitely worth it. I can’t wait for everyone to read it! I’ll be releasing it soon as an ebook and paperback. I think it’s quite enjoyable and I’m very proud of it!!!!

“Caught in the aftermath of a devastating hurricane, Natalie’s life is thrown into chaos as her hometown is left in ruins. Isolated and with rapidly dwindling supplies, she struggles to survive long enough to make it to safety.


But there are far bigger dangers stalking her flooded town. After a terrifying run-in with strange monsters, Natalie is forced to fight for her life as she tries to escape the chaotic disaster.

After stumbling into another survivor, Natalie must decide who she can trust – and who she’ll have to leave behind. With time running out and no help on the horizon, the few remaining survivors will be forced to do whatever it takes to survive… no matter the cost.

Can Natalie stay one step ahead of whatever terrors are hunting her? Or will she end up like the rest of her town?”

Super excited for everyone to read this. I wrote it in about a week and a half. I’ve been working on editing it and getting it properly worked on. It’s a short novel barely 30,000 words. It is sci-fi of course! I know I haven’t really been doing much with my writing online but I promise I have been writing. I kind of keep getting writers blocked but my passion is still to write. Just starting off slow and trying to make sure that I do things properly. I want to be careful about things. But I really enjoy this story I’m hoping that others will too! I will eventually repost my Amour novels! They are just taking time rewriting. I am excited for my new story and I believe if you’re into sci-fi you’re definitely going to like it. 😊

Still here!!

just wanted to give an update! I am still here and I am still writing. I took all my books down so that I can start fresh. I’m liking the new writing direction and my new writing voice I’m working on the second book in my Amour series because I finished rewriting the first. Then I will work on the third! Once I am finished with all of these I will released them all at once as a special buy.

I am truly excited about it though. I’ve definitely come a long way with my writing. Of course I’m still not perfect, especially with my dyslexia. Nevertheless, I have learned quite a lot and I am proud of how far I’ve come. I love to write and create new worlds. I love the idea of others enjoying my work too. I’m also currently writing on a draft to send to a publisher. I’m not expecting anything to happen with it but I have to try at least someday. I’m also working on a side novel that’s supposed to be short but I’m not very good at that! Of course everything is sci-fi and horror… No idea how to write anything else heh

But, I know I haven’t released anything or posted anything about my books. But I promise I am still writing and it’s still my passion. I’m just trying to be careful about it and better with my new writing voice. I’m taking things more serious and I like how it’s going. So I just wanted to update y’all about it!

Much Love!!!!

I’m still here!

I know I haven’t been very active with posting anything. And I don’t have any books up for sale at the moment. However, I am working on my writing. If you didn’t know, I actually took down all my work. It isn’t that I did not think it was good enough. I love my work but I know I could have done it better. So I decided to rewrite everything because frankly I needed an update and I have a better writing voice now. I finished rewriting the first book in the Amour series; The Embers of Amour. Now I’m currently looking for editors but it’ll be a while before I re-release it.

I’m now working on the second book in the series; The Ashes of Amour. Once I’m done with that I’ll get an editor for it too. I have decided I’ll put both of them in the same book just in parts. So it will be easier to purchase. I’ll have a special new cover for it too. I had already finished writing the third book; The Flames of Amour. However, I want to write that one in a different voice as well. I haven’t really been working on it that much because I’ve been working on the other two. However the whole story is complete. I just need to rewrite it. I was thinking about maybe doing a whole special edition where I have one book with all three books in it. But I’m not sure about that.

I know the first two will be in the same book, just different parts. I’m excited with my new writing voice and how everything’s coming out. I do wish I had things out for people to look at and read. However, sometimes it’s better to just take time and let things flow naturally. I’ve learned a lot throughout the years and forcing things just doesn’t work. That’s okay! We all have to start somewhere. I also am still going through my Oblivion book. Which eventually I’m going to try to send to a publisher. No expectations on it or anything like that. But I really love the story! I’ll just self-publish it if it doesn’t get picked up.

I’ll probably never become a best-selling Author and that’s okay. As long as a few people enjoy my writing, that’s all that matters. Plus, I truly write for myself most of the time. I love creating new worlds especially ones during the apocalypse. I always come up with new stories about the end of the world. Some of my favorite kind of stories. I’m trying to write normal stories or like new genres but that’s so difficult. If it’s not about the end of the world or monsters, it’s really hard to write. But someday I’ll get it down.

Anyway, I just wanted to update. I’m still around! Just silently writing in the background, hoping to be able to republish soon. Just taking my time. Thank you to anyone who’s still sticking around and who still cares. I really appreciate it.

Happy July!

It is quite a hot July day! I wouldn’t expect any less from Texas. I just wanted to write a blog post since I haven’t in a while. I’m not really the greatest blogger and I honestly forget about it. Yet, all the writer forms say that it’s great to have your own website and a blog. But I wonder why? Most people contact each other on Instagram or Facebook. That’s what people like to look at and I feel a website is only really good if you have a lot to offer. Which right now I don’t. Someday but not currently… Though I am trying to work at this!

I’m currently going through the embers of amour after my rewrite of it. I’m really excited about it and I love what I’ve done with it. I’ve learned a lot throughout the years about writing and what to do and how to go about things. The road wasn’t easy but I do think that I finally gotten to a point where I’m comfortable with doing things. I love my stories and I really want others to enjoy them too. I may never be a bestseller but writing is my passion and I’m going to continue to do it. No matter what.

Once I’m finished editing that one I’m going to start working on the second one. Which I haven’t touched in a long time but that’s okay! I’m glad to be able to rewrite on it in a new voice. And then I’ll get a professional editor to work on both. I want to re-release book one and book two together. I’ll probably have a new cover and everything for it and then I’ll be able to truly work on the third one. Which I had already finished it completely but I felt I needed a new voice for it. I’m proud of what I’ve written before, yes it wasn’t  perfect, but it was fine. I just really enjoy my new voice.

I am working on the Dawn of Oblivion but I’d like to send that to a real publisher. I’m taking my time with everything and even though I’m anxious and really want things out there so people can read. I know it’s important to be patient and focus on making things better. I also have tons of other titles I’m working on! It’s so hard not being able to focus sometimes. I just have so many ideas and I just want them all out that I end up not doing anything. Yet, I’m trying to put a system in place where I’m only focusing on two things at a time.

I’ll still try to write little summaries and little short things here and there to keep my mind from going too crazy. But right now I’m just focusing on two things until I’m finished with that. I hope someday to see my books in a store! Maybe someday it’ll happen and that’ll be wonderful. You can only hope and try to dream!

Also don’t forget to wear your mask! Outside your house and yard.

The Dawn Of Oblivion!

You’ve probably heard that I’ve been working on a novel called The Dawn of Oblivion. It’s a sci-fi, action, and suspenseful novel. It’s in a world that is drowned in chaos and death. It follows a woman named Amaya as she tries to figure out how to save a small group of people. I wrote this novel in just a couple of weeks! I was quite proud of myself and I absolutely love the story and love the characters.

However, I really want to send some of my stuff to a publisher. And I found this one publisher that takes manuscripts without you having to have an agent. Which is great! Of course that doesn’t mean that you’ll be published by them or they’ll even read what you send. Nevertheless, I really want something to be sent to someone. I had to add in another 30,000 words to this novel to match their word count. I finally finished that a couple of days ago and I’m so happy!

It still has a long way to go because I still need to go through it and work on the first draft. I won’t send it until I feel it is ready. Which means a lot of rewriting and editing. I am excited but I don’t have any expectations. It is VERY hard for people to get noticed by publishers. If it doesn’t get picked then that’s okay. A rejection does not mean your book is not worthy. Not everyone has the same taste and that is ok! You can try again!

Though I may just self-publish it depending on how I feel if I do get rejections. Because I love this book and really can’t wait for others to read it.

Another update: I almost finished rewriting the first book of Amour. I feel it is so much better now. Not that it was bad before but it needed some fixing. Want to use my new voice. Once I finish with that I will go through it again and polish it up then start on Ashes of Amour! Hopefully by time I finish those two the third book, The Flames of Amour will be finished too. I would like to release them all at the same time.

I do wish I had more to offer right now but that is okay. I am taking my time with writing. I have a new voice I want to use and I want to make sure that I do things right. I think I have good story ideas and what I’ve written before was fine but I like changing things. Nothing wrong with that. So someday soon you will be able to have Amour again and read about all the zombies.

Anyways, just wanted to update! I am writing! Thanks for anyone who reads these things.

Movie review: Togo.

Get your tissue box out because this one will break your heart.

Togo is a Disney plus film that was released in December 2019 starring the great William Dafoe. And of course a bunch of doggos! It follows Leonhard Seppala as he leads a team of sled dogs across the wintry Alaskan tundra in 1925.

The cast of this film is spot on. I love William Dafoe. I think he’s a great actor! I really loved him in The boondock saints movies. His performance in that movie is so great! I highly recommend it. Anyway onto the movie! I saw the trailer of this movie and thought, “Heeellll no.” Because I had a feeling it was going to make me cry. But I finally finished the mandalorian and decided why not! So here is my rambling thoughts on the movie.

I’ll be honest I had no idea who Togo was. I knew of Balto because of the cartoon movie back in the day but I didn’t know the truth behind it. And by the end of the movie I was really hating Balto… The movie starts off quite intensely and we soon find out the sickness in the town and that they need the diphtheria serum In order to help. You get a sense of how serious the situation is and how dangerous. I will say though the movie was a slow start and it didn’t catch my attention quickly. It was a slow catch.

With the slow start I did take time off of it every now and then going back to it to finish watching it. It doesn’t get real intense until close to the end where it pulls you in and you just don’t want to stop watching. That being said it’s still worth watching! The beginning likes to go back and forth from the past and to present time. The past we get to see young Togo and what a little misfit he was! The whole time I was just awhing and getting teary-eyed over how cute the little rascal was! He was such a disaster but eventually won his owner’s hearts.

The journey that he had to take to get the serum was 260 miles!! The fact that they survived was a complete miracle. You get your heart pulled so many times in this movie. It’s obvious Togo’s tired and you start freaking out of what’s going to happen even though you already know what’s going to happen. Eventually they make it back and give the serum to other sledders so that they can finish it back to the town.

This is when we meet Balto and how they pull up into town finishing the run. And from then on there everyone celebrates Balto and he even got a statue of himself! Not saying that the dog did anything wrong because he didn’t. The dog was a good boy and did what he was supposed to. It was his owner who should have told the truth and told everyone of Togo! The town praised Togo for his duties and I’m hoping this movie brings more recognition to the dog. He definitely deserves it!

They realize he’s sick and his time might be coming and it’s such an emotional roller coaster. When the owner goes to leave to go back to do his job, Togo breaks out of the house racing towards him and it’s when he realizes Togo wasn’t just in it for the run, he was in it for him. Talk about bawling my eyes out! Ugh. He lived another two years after that and even though Balto got all the fame and glory, Togo was able to have a ton of kids! And a happy retirement with his people.

I found out he was actually stuffed after he was euthanized at the age of 16 and his skin is on display somewhere, which I find pretty damn creepy. He did have some glory after the run and even appeared in a commercial! So the boy was a little famous just not as famous as he should have been.

As for the movie I think the acting was quite good. Obviously William Dafoe is good in anything he’s in. And we mainly focus on him anyway but when other actors showed up they did a good job as well. The film is kind of set on a dark scale and that’s okay. Still quite pretty even though some of the graphics aren’t exactly top-notch. Especially the scene over the water and ice. You can still feel it’s seriousness and how intense it is but it’s obvious it’s fake.

The film starts off a little slow and kind of boring. But, I’m a sucker for dog movies! I stuck with it and it eventually pulls you in and has you crying at the end of it. I highly enjoyed this movie and I think everyone should watch it! A great family film or a great film to just watch whenever.

The Wrong Missy.


Kill me please (but not really). So, I just FINISHED The Wrong Missy. A Netflix movie that came out yesterday. I normally don’t watch rom-coms because honestly I’m not really that much into comedy. Unless it’s always sunny in Philadelphia or it has Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell together in it. I love them as a duo! Especially Mark *wink wink* anyways I saw this on front page of Netflix and decided why the hell not? I need to try new things.

So here is my ‘spoiler alert’ review of The Wrong Missy. I went into this movie with no expectations. I figured it wasn’t going to be the best movie ever but hoped it would be enjoyable. David Spade is the main character and it seems a lot of people don’t like him and I am unsure of why. He isn’t a bad actor, actually I found him to be pretty good in this film. Adam Sandler was one of the movies producer’s so I wasn’t shocked by some of the annoying/gross humor. It had a lot of well known actors in it and faces I have seen in other Adam Sandler movies. Even HURLEY FROM LOST!!

So, my first review is about the actors. All gave a good try and believable performances! The only one over-the-top was Lauren Lapkus character Missy. GOD I HATED HER! But that wasn’t the actress’s fault. She actually did a great job with giving the most annoying character ever. But, more on that later.

The start of the film was promising for me. Crazy date he runs from and then running into his soul mate at the air-port. I went into this movie not knowing the storyline. Just saw it and clicked. So, my first impression was, “Oh. He met his perfect girl and is going to try to win her over. Okay, cool.” A storyline I have seen many times but decided to keep with it. Then we get to the real storyline and UGHHHH

*DARK KNIGHT JOKERS VOICE*
“HEAR WE GO.”

When he texts the wrong Missy annoy shows up on the PLANE. The crazy girl he went on a date with. A narcissistic borderline psychopath. She literally has no respect for anyone else or any kind of intelligence of her disrespect and just complete unruly behavior. It is clear our main character is completely repulsed by her and with good means. She’s insane and so damn annoying. She almost ruins his weekend with The company he’s worked with for 20 years. Which by the way he seems quiet content there so understandable how annoyed he was with her.

Her sexual jokes did not land with me. I don’t mind sexual jokes, hell I like to make them myself. But hers? They were just made at unnecessary times and just so annoying. Perhaps I found them annoying because I absolutely despised her aka Missy.

Before I get into why I really hate her. I will say that I did kind of like the movie at first but ended up hating it. There were quite a lot of funny parts in the movie but not enough to keep my attention. Because once I figure out where the storyline was going I immediately started despising the movie. It was going to be one of those typical oh I want the hot girl but I fall in love with the weird friend movie. Except the friend is a complete disrespectful, maniac, annoying as shit person. I was really hoping for a crazy twist with him ending up with the other Missy… who was actually a perfect match for him. But no! They did something so unrealistic. Because if this was real life he would have fucked out of that situation so quickly.

But the movie became a cliche and every now and then a cliche is not bad. But damn you could at least give us a more realistic cliche. If you hadn’t made her so over the top and unbelievable then maybe just maybe it would have been okay.

She is so aggravating it is unbelievable. So unware of how her behavior is affecting him and others around. Either she’s really that clueless or she just really doesn’t give a damn. Either way it makes her a bad person. Of course throughout the film he’s slowly falling for her except I don’t think he’s falling for her at all! It’s Stockholm syndrome. Because there’s no damn way he would fall for her it is so unrealistic. There’s a few times where she’s normal and bearable. But then she goes right back to being crazy and I don’t mean crazy in a good way. I mean bat shit this girl needs to be in the nut house.

Then she finds out about the other Missy and gets all upset and leaves. The real Missy pops up and I’m so excited! I love her. They have so much in common and they work well together. I’m like well here’s the twist! He ends up with the right one! Of course I knew that wasn’t going to happen. Too good to be true. He EVEN points our how the REAL MISSY IS PERFECT and how they have a lot in common. But admits to falling in love with someone he flat out calls borderline psychopath!! Nothing! NOTHING makes me believe that guy would fall for her. In real life he would’ve gotten her a different hotel room or told her the truth FLAT OUT. He was worried she would kill herself but that wouldn’t be on him.

So he rejects the good Missy… THE PERFECT MISSY. And goes to try and win back annoy. Of course they get back together and live happily ever after. YEAH RIGHT. THIS GUY QUIT his Job for HERRRR!!! WHAT?!? NO sane person would quit his job for some batshit person. A job he clearly liked and was at for 20 years!!! No one would risk that. Because when he goes to get another job they’re going to ask why did you just up and leave your job? And he’s going to be like oh you know for a girl. That is so immature and ridiculous and unhealthy! No. No. NOOOO.

The movie had promise. Interesting characters and a good cast. Even the freaking disaster of a Missy is a good actress. But, the movie was a shit show. Yes, some of the jokes were pretty funny.. Great sceneries and pretty good storyline that was easy to follow. Yet, lot of the jokes manly the ones Coming from Missy were absolutely atrocious. They fell short and didn’t land. She was WAY to over the top and made it hard to believe anyone would be that way. I found it really difficult to continue watching during the middle of the movie when I realized where it was going. I get it, it’s just supposed to be a hilarious film to just kinda sit back and laugh at but MAN I kept having to pause the movie to complain about it.

I was angry because I actually was enjoying it. When he ended up with her I was just so damn mad. I wasted an hour and half on this mess.

This woman was not a good woman in so many ways but one of the main reasons that she’s a bad person is because she’s a molester and a rapist. I get people wanna make rape jokes whatever that’s fine… Sure. But the fact that she kept grabbing him and even raped him at one point! I don’t give a fuck if they were both kind of messed up from drugs or alcohol, it was wrong. I don’t even CARE if he was hard. IT WAS RAPE! IF THE ROLLS WERE REVERSED AND SHE WOKE UP WITH HIM SCREWING HER HOLY SHIT!!! Be whole OTHER STORY!

But, no. Somehow guys being raped or molested has become a joke and it’s ridiculous and needs to stop. It is 2020 and men need to be taken seriously when it comes to this awful things. I know it was just a movie and it was just supposed to be funny but it’s not funny. He woke up with her on top of him and he clearly didn’t like her. But a rape is a rape. And it’s not funny. You can make your jokes on your stand-up comedy shows but I hate when I see a movie where they allow the woman to grab men or grope them or go down on them or anyway rape them and people just laugh and pretend it’s okay. It’s not okay!  Like, I really liked the horrible bosses movie until they’re showing Jennifer Anderson’s character constantly trying to rape Charlie. They constantly laugh and make fun of him about it. But it’s rape and it’s disturbing that it’s not taken serious.

It makes people think it’s okay to laugh at men who’ve been in situations like this. Men are afraid to talk and step up about sexual abuse or assault or rape because things like this. They’re made fun of, belittle, push down, told that they’re not a real man. It’s pathetic and it’s the reason why suicide rate is so high in men. Because they are afraid to show their true feelings and to show that something truly upset them.

If you’re a guy don’t be afraid to stand up and speak up! You have rights and you deserve to be heard! Don’t be afraid to reach out because there are people who do care. People who are out there wanting to listen and to try to help the best that they can. You may say that I just need to get over it and it’s just a movie and yeah I get it, it is just a movie. Stupid movie. But the fact is this is reality! People do not take men’s sexual assault serious and we need to change that! Things like this don’t help it.

Rape is never okay! No matter the Circumstances! I believe in men’s rights and I believe we need to fight for them more so that they aren’t afraid to speak up when they’re hurt.

Anyway… BACK TO THE MOVIE! I was enjoying the movie at first. But in the end it was just a disaster and a train wreck. The Missy character was the worst.  She’s a very disrespectful person plus a predator. No one in their right mind would have picked her over the other Missy!!

This post is more of a ramble than a review. I know my reviews don’t go in depth with the movie and all the structure around it. But you know what I just use this platform to ramble with my thoughts. You either enjoy it or you don’t either way I hope you have a wonderful day!

Starting over :)

Bonjour! Just wanted to give a few updates about my writing and things. I recently took all of my books off of Amazon so that I can rewrite them. I want to focus on new projects and make better decisions. Currently I’m doing a good job at rewriting the first book of Amour! Then I will focus on the second one and by that time I probably will be finished with the third book. I’d like to release it all at once! To be honest I probably won’t be releasing any books this year. I would love to but to be realistic I’m trying to take my time and focus on writing better. Not that my stories were bad before! They were perfectly fine. I’ve just gotten a lot better at my writing voice and I just want to put my new voice in with my material.

I’ve definitely learned a lot in the past couple of years about writing and the process. I think I’ve definitely gotten better with many things and I understand things better. I really just want my books out there for people to read and be known for them. However, I must be patient. Someday maybe I’ll be recognized for my writing and I’ll be quite excited! If that never happens, I will survive. If I’m just a low-key writer that no one really knows about, that’s okay! I write because I love creating. It makes me happy! If people enjoy my writing and stories that’s wonderful. If others think it’s trash that’s okay too and if most people don’t know I exist. Oh well. They’re missing out heh.

I’m just recreating my process so that it can be better. Figuring out easier ways to keep track of my stories and finish them. My goal is to always write no matter what. People will judge me and you know? That just says more about them than me. I’m not the greatest writer in the world and that’s okay! No one really is. Everyone has their flaws. I’m still learning everyday and I’m grateful that I can.

With life I’ve just been trying to focus on a healthier positive life. I’ve lost around 20lb since I started counting calories last year! I’m super excited about that. But, recently I’ve Hit a wall with weight loss. Mostly because of my food addiction! I’m constantly craving food no matter what and I know that’s due to my anxiety and depression. I have to try to work through it and remind myself that even though food is delicious it can be the enemy. I’ve come a long way and I don’t want to mess up my progress. I’m starting to see if a therapist and though nothing really has come out of it yet I’m hoping that it helps me build my self-esteem and confidence up. I still struggle with self-doubt, self-love, and feeling worthless most days. I know I shouldn’t feel those ways but When your mind is your worst enemy it’s difficult to overcome.

I am grateful for my life and especially my job! And I’m happy that things aren’t worse. But we all struggle with different demons and different life issues. No one can compare their struggles to others or say that someone else’s struggles isn’t that big of a deal because it’s not as bad as theirs. Honestly that’s quite mean and disrespectful. We’re all in this crazy world together and we all have our issues. The last thing we need to be doing is judging others for their battles. I know that I’ll never be a hundred percent okay. That I’ll probably have anxiety and depression for the rest of my life and that’s okay.

Just because you suffer from some issue doesn’t mean you can’t be happy or enjoy life. I’m going to be 29 in July and I want it to be a great year. I know 2020 has been really messed up because the Corona virus! But I do believe we will overcome it. In the past I allowed my anxiety and depression and my fears to hold me back from actually living. Yes I have a lot of regret and sadness because of that. However, I can’t let it hold me down and keep me hostage. I need to learn to forgive myself and let go. Also I want to make my 30s the best damn years! I want to go on adventures and try new things and meet new people. I didn’t date at all in my twenties and I regret that most of all. It’s definitely made me struggle with trying to date now. I’m constantly terrified to put myself out there because of my low self-esteem… It constantly tells me that I’m ugly and no one will love me. Which I know isn’t true! But as I said before our minds are our worst enemy and they know exactly how to attack.

I want to find a relationship… maybe once this Coronavirus goes down. But I know building self-love and confidence is most important. Making myself happy and building more positive productive hobbies is the key to success. My life is honestly kind of boring and I’m okay with that! I can’t wait to start playing tennis more often and I can’t wait for things to start getting better so I can go on adventures. I already have my bucket list and I’m determined to completed. Something I want to do pretty soon is go zip lining, and cavern exploring, and more zoos around Texas.

I want to live. I cannot allow my anxiety/depression to hold me back from that. Some days are better than others and I’m grateful for my life and I’m so appreciated for everyone who’s in it. I’m also so happy about my job. On days that it gets difficult and my mind just wants to bury me in dark thoughts I try to remind myself of how far I’ve come. How I do deserve happiness and love. For all those out there struggling with any kind of issues remind yourself that you deserve a beautiful life. It’s definitely not easy! But we’re also not in this battle alone.

Pet cemetery review

Spoiler alert! Here’s my review on the updated pet cemetery by Stephen King.

Speaking of Stephen King I know he’s pretty great at coming up with horror stories. But I don’t like his books. I love anything horror and so I decided to try his books out since I loved the adaptations of his books into television and movies. I started with misery and I personally liked it because I love the movie however sometimes it was hard to follow. He can come up with good stories but the execution of them is not good.  Sometimes  wonder how he so popular. Not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings… it’s okay not to like someone’s writing style. I’m definitely not perfect at all! But, I thought that his writing style was just very difficult to follow sometimes. But, he does have great stories! That’s why I love the movies and television shows.

Okay enough rambling on! I never watched the original pet cemetery at least I don’t remember maybe I did not sure…. Hmm anyways that’s not important. The newest pet cemetery was honestly boring. I hardly even remember what happened in the movie because I barely paid attention. I think the actors did a great job and even the kid actors were really good. I think it was filmed well and I like the dark sinister colors of the movie. Yet, it was lacking in actual storytelling. Was the original this boring? The whole premise of the story was pretty cool… you know some crazy cursed cemetery that brings things back. That’s awesome!

But I didn’t find this movie scary in any way. Now I will say it’s very hard for me to find anything scary! There was nothing about this movie that gave me that edge of my seat feeling. Nothing made my skin crawl. It just was such a drag! The only part that I was kind of glued to the screen was whenever that 18-wheeler almost creamed both the kids!! Also there is no damn way that that girl wouldn’t have just exploded across the road! Her body was perfect after she got hit by an 18-wheeler that was going over 65 mph? Bullshit! The bullshit alarm is going off!

The one thing this movie was a lie about was that cat. Trying to make it all evil after it was brought back from the dead. Excuse me? That’s how all cats are in real life! Don’t try to lie.

ALSO FOR A MOVIE CALLED PET SEMATARY! THERE WAS ONLY ONE PET! ONE DAMN PET! AND IT WASN’T EVEN A DOG! I thought we were going to see a bunch of dead pets coming after these people and just destroying the town. I would have preferred that.

This movie was such a yawn and I finally made it to the end and what do you know?? A cliche ending of everyone dying and joining the dead. Don’t get me wrong I love when the bad guys win in the end but I don’t know it just felt kind of annoying in this movie.

We find the new dead family going to the last living family member… obviously going to kill him. Though I swear I saw a gas tank in the dad’s hand before he went to the car? Can’t really remember… don’t really care… But are they actually going to burn that kid in the car? Like his body is going to be all crispy and just disgusting when he comes back. Very confusing…

I feel like this movie could have been something exciting and very dark and scary. If it had been executed properly and the story just better. I don’t know if this is how the story is in the book but if it is maybe it’s better reading it? Because on screen was just not great. I definitely wouldn’t watch it again. What I recommend it? Sure why not… one viewing is not going to hurt you.

now I want to watch the original pet sematary. I think I may have watched it or I’m mixing it up with some other sci-fi movie. It can’t be this boring…
