Pointless remake

Instead of making it more like the book it seemed more like a remake of the original movie with a few change ups and even more things left out. They missed a great opportunity to put in a Wendigo and other assorted demons that Louis passed on the path to the pet cemetery when carrying his dead kid. Also, a nurse in the beginning said she’s going to call Bangor, but then later they show the road sign to Derry, which is a fictional variant of Bangor. In the book Rachel passes the off ramp to Salem’s Lot which they should have used instead.

This one does have better acting and cinematography than the original, though. The original had as much atmosphere as an episode of “The Brady Bunch.”
