So why is a documentary on Pet Sematary necessary? The website notes,
As a big time fan of Pet Sematary, the recent announcement that two filmmakers were working on a comprehensive documentary about the making of the film immediately caught my attention, and got me incredibly excited. The film has never really been given all that much in terms of special features, even on the recent Blu-ray, which just rehashed the features from the previous DVD release. So friends and Pet Sematary super fans John Campopiano and Justin White decided to take matters into their own hands, and tell the untold story of the making of one of their favorite horror movies.
When asked how long the documentary would be, John Campopiano explained:
Of course this could always change, but as of now fans can expect it to clock in around 60 minutes, perhaps a bit longer. In many ways our initial goal was not to tell every story there is, show every behind-the-scenes photograph, etc. Such an endeavor would be impossible. What we did set out to do and have continued to do is showcase the voices from the film that have gone unheard, show the cast members people haven't seen before, share the behind-the-scenes photos and footage most people have never seen before, things like that. No doubt there will be stories and information about the film that no one has heard before. But the real goal is to celebrate this film in a way that has never been done before. I think we're definitely succeeding.
The full interview is great! Check it out at www.freddyinspace.com
I loved the novel and enjoyed the movie. However, the movie was nothing groundbreaking or extraordinary. It was simply a good, but unremarkable film. It hardly warrants retrospectives or documentaries.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the movie a lot. Genuinely creepy. I would like to see the completed project from Unearthed.
ReplyDeleteCool interview and kudos to John and Justin for putting this documentary together. I'm a fan of both the novel and the film, so when I heard about Unearthed I was both excited and interested. I even sent in a fan video (yes I'm that much of a horror geek, but I'm proud).
