Out of the changes I liked, I think they did alright with changing it so Ellie would be the one who got hit by the truck. I thought Church baiting her into the road was a really good idea. The acting was subpar in some scenes but it was overall alright. I’m a little disappointed in how only the back of the wendigo was seen as opposed to the cackling face thingy. I’m also disappointed we didn’t get full on flashback scenes to Jud’s dog and Baterman, those would’ve been awesome. I think Church dying and coming back wasn’t done well at all, and that Rachel and the kids being away while it happened would makes a lot more sense. I also thought that scene right after Ellie came back was really unnecessary and it just came off as dumb. The ending was also not great, Louis burying Rachel and ending like the book did the tone much more well than that fight scene in the cemetery followed by them approaching Gage in the car. Like I said the makeup didn’t do much for me in way of the human zombies, if they were slightly more disfigured instead of just being blue and having their veins pop out.
Also no Smucky the Cat
, I mean c’mon, that’s the only reason I went.
