GotRizz237 Oct 18 Not even scary at all. I mean, Pet Smatary was creepy and all, but it was just boring and not scary. Watching this movie was just a waste of my time and money. That's an hour and forty minutes down the drain. See more Arija W. @scaryfannaticgirl88 Oct 4 I was apprehensive since I grew up watching the original and being a huge Steven King fan, but was extremely surprised by the film. It had me engaged from the moment I hit play. It had lots of jumps and unexpected twists. If you’re craving some jumps and unexpected twists. This is a must watch It’s not meant for anyone who is unable to see Gore or blood you have to have a strong stomach like I do. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat. Don’t overlook it like I did initially you’ll regret not indulging in this ominous and cryptic masterpiece.

As is often the way with the best Stephen King books, they seem to make the worst movie adaptations. This is just another one. Mediocre. See more Lanal L Aug 8 Pet Sematary (2019): Finely filmed, directed, and written remake of the original 1989 movie. As for the actors? No one is better at creating a character than Jon Lithgow. I really liked him in the role of Jud Crandall; I actually liked him more than the excellent actor, Ed Gwynn. I would have cast Andrew Lincoln or Matthew McConaughey in the role of Louis Creed; Jason Clarke is too bland for the role and has no charisma as an actor. Amy Seimetz was convincing as Rachel Creed, as was Jeté Laurence as Ellie Creed. The film moves at a good clip and doesn’t drag as much as the first movie. There are some major differences between the two films: In the first film, Rachel Creed leaves to visit her mother, leaving her husband alone. This is when Church is hit and Louis buries the cat in the Sematary. In the 2019 version, the family is together, and the cat is more vicious and disruptive when it returns. The death scene of the little girl is an awful one but having her come back is even more terrifying (in the second film it’s the daughter rather than the son, Gage who dies and is buried in the Sematary). These changes were improvements—albeit gruesome ones—over the first film. The upshot? Derry is the creepiest, most frightening town on Earth, and I should know, I was born and raised in Maine. See more Korra N Aug 2 Better than the first adaptation but still not a great movie, this updated version is essentially a remix of that adaptation, still failing to capture the horror of the Wendigo & its everlasting hold on the land. Still, the acting, effects & cinematography are pretty damn good. See more Rundyl B Jul 20 Despite the significant differences from the book, it's not as bad as it might seem. The story itself is well-preserved, and the atmosphere of the king of horror is palpable. A few scenes are quite comical, but they don't break the immersion enough to make me feel disgusted. As an adaptation, I give it a 2/5, and as a standalone story or version, I give it a 3/5. See more Read all reviews
