Let me sneak into your feed for a moment. You might not be able to see me, but I see you sitting there reading this post. You hear that? Was it me? Nah, probably just normal creaks that any old house or building makes, right? Maybe you should just play it safe, leave your house, and head to the movie theater. If the thought of me in "your" house watching you doesn't creep you out, filling you with chills and suspense, then to get the job done go give The Intruder a watch.
On another note, after watching this movie, I think Dennis Quaid could do a great job playing The Joker.

Every good joke is in the trailers.
I watched this in an empty movie theater yesterday, and, well, I know why no one else was there.
First, all of the funniest jokes were in the trailers. Some of the jokes and gags were repeated throughout the movie, which just got tedious after a while. How many times can a kid pull out some sort of adult toy and do something ridiculous with it? How many movies do I have to watch where the character reads the word anal in a different way? That was only funny in Employee of the Month.
Overall, this was just kind of a waste of time. Fail, Seth and Evan.

A Boston doctor moves his family to what is believed to be a quiet town in Maine. He soon discovers that the town has a secret past and supernatural powers. A good horror movie requires an atmosphere and a good movie based on the book makes you want to read the book to see what was left out. Neither requirement is met in this version of "Pet Sematary." The setting of the atmosphere I may have missed due to longer credits attached to "Shazam" that my gig required me to view. When I entered the theater, the family was already in their Maine house. In the short time I was not there, two things were established, the gas trucks that constantly careen through the town, a ominous sign of accidents to come and the family move to Maine to get away from the hustle of the city. The shadow of death could not have come until I was already in the theater. This aspect of the family dynamic was firmly established later when Ellie sees an animal dead on the road. The titular pet cemetary was also introduced while I was in attendance. The directors did not set up any foreboding specters for the cemetary or the family past, a sign of people in need of paying attention to their own creation. Throughout the film, there should be moments that terrify you from Church to the zombie child to Judd's mysteriously dead wife. None of these approach master level suspense.

Murder in the Haunted Theater
Lila has been talked into working on a play that her university is putting on this semester. The play is Puzzled: The Musical written by Tolliver Ingersoll, a fellow professor at Stonedale University, and it's being directed by Jean Claude Lestronge, who is visiting the college for the semester. Putting the play on is proving to be a struggle, but things get more interesting when someone is shot during a planned blackout. That's when Lila starts to hear some stories about the history of this particular theater. Could that have something to do with what is currently happening? Or is there a more modern motive for murder?
There is a lot happening in this book, and at times, the plot appears to ramble as a result. The murder definitely takes a back seat to some of the other things going on, but I never found myself getting board since everything was entertaining. And the various bits and pieces do begin to tie together the further we get into the book. Because we get so many new characters, we don't see much of most of the series regulars, but the new characters are all developed enough to make us care about the outcome, and Lila continues to be a strong lead. And the play! I was laughing at the little bits we did learn about it over the course of the book. Heck, the song titles alone are great. It looks like a fun spoof of the mystery genre that I would go see if I could.
