It’s summertime on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey go on a tropical vacation just in time for hurricane season… oh, and there’s a killer fisherman there, too.
The Classic Film: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)
"The murderous fisherman with a hook is back to once again stalk the two surviving teens… who had left him for dead, as well as cause even more murder and mayhem, this time at a posh island resort” (IMDb.com). Don’t even bother with this garbage-town, blatant cash-grab of a sequel.
The Modern Film: Revenge (2017)
"Jen is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend, which is suddenly disrupted when his sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip... culminating in a shocking act that leaves Jen left for dead... Jen survives and reemerges with a relentless, wrathful intent: revenge” (Shudder). Revenge is a very well-made film, with brilliant visuals and an inspiring theme, but is any of that worth actually sitting through it?
