Dale Midkiff

We have to remember to talk about Detonator.

So has Batinkov, which is not to be confused with Dale Midkiff, as we often

do.

It doesn't help that Batinkov looks a lot like Zack Morris.

There are some people you might know, some people you don't.

We've got Dale Midkiff, best known for Pet Sematary.

As far as other stuff he's in, he's in one of the Air Buds, Air Bud World Pup, also one of the sequels to The Crow, The Crow Salvation.

He really likes animals,

I think he's really good at slapstick, but I don't think he's good at showing emotion.

Well, the main guy.

Dale Midkiff, yeah.

I think he's great, but also I get what you

Fred Gwynne specifically was somebody that she fought for super, super hard, and the studio was like, "Fucking Herman Munster? Are you kidding me? No.

What are you talking about?" And then I get the feeling, to your point, that Dale Midkiff was probably the studios being like-

Yeah, feels like a studio cast

... "That's the next leading man.

When I say that this movie is imperfect, when I say that this movie is flawed, I think the casting and the performances is kind of the biggest chunk of that.

Yes.

Dale Midkiff is-

I agree with you

Let's see, let's turn around.

Scarlett Johansson and Dale.

Dale Midkiff.

He's

on the Time Traveling Show.

You got Scarlett Johansson.

You got that one.

You did not get Dale Midkiff, which you did know he was.

Released in 1989, the film follows the Creed family as they move to a rural town in Maine, only to discover a sinister burial ground with the power to resurrect the dead.

The story centres on Louis Creed, played by Dale Midkiff, a doctor who, after the tragic death of his son Gage, played by Miko Hughes, is driven by desperation to use the burial ground's powers, despite ominous warnings from his neighbour Judd Crandall, played by Fred Gwynne.

The film's premise is intriguing, drawing viewers into a world where the line between life and death is blurred.

However, the execution is somewhat uneven.

While the screenplay, penned by King himself, stays true to the novel's core themes, it occasionally veers into unintentional comedy, undermining the horror elements.

This is particularly evident in scenes involving Victor Pascal, played by Brad Greenquist, whose ghostly presence is meant to be a warning, but often comes across as comical.

Dale Midkiff's portrayal of Louis Creed is a mixed bag.

While he captures the character's initial scepticism and eventual descent into madness, his performance lacks the depth needed to fully convey the emotional turmoil of a grieving father.

So it's a what if kind of movie.

And then Dale Midkiff.

who you know, Lewis Creed from Pet Sematary played Elvis in an Elvis movie called Elvis and Me, which is based on the book written by Priscilla Presley.
