Pod Sematary

CW: Domestic Abuse

It's another Double Feature week on Pod Sematary! This time, Chris & Kelsey examine that "true story" classic, The Amityville Horror!

First up is the original from 1979, starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder. The movie is way too long and nothing happens, but it's well-made and has some good performances. Can the good make up for just how boring it is?

Then it's on to the 2005 remake starring Ryan Reynolds and Chloë Grace Moretz! This one is shorter and delivers on the escalating events, but Reynolds goes from zero to fuckhead in the first 15 minutes and things are a little less believable. Does this remake squander everything it does better than the original?

Plus, spoiler-talk about the season finale of Castle Rock!
