adaptation of Stephen King’s pet
cemetery number 10 it’s one of the best
Stephen King adaptations from The
Shining to Stand By Me to the Shawshank
Redemption the works of Stephen King
have inspired some of the most beloved
movies in cinematic history these past
couple of years in particular however
have been something of a Stephen King
Renaissance on the silver screen
not only did 2017 it surpassed The
Exorcist
as the highest-grossing r-rated horror
movie of all time but 1922 and Gerald’s
game emerged as two of the best original
films on Netflix Pet Sematary appears to
be another winner with Perry Nemiroff of
Collider saying that it quote isn’t
merely a solid entry to the long list of
films based on King’s work it joins the
one sitting at the top as one of the
very best number nine it’s a worthy
remake this isn’t the first time that

I brought you something mommy
[Music]
since the original is a cult classic we
can understand why some fans may be
hesitant about this remake just as the
2017 version of it surpassed the 1990
miniseries though the new Pet Sematary
actually improves upon its predecessor
according to critics in his review for
The Hollywood Reporter John 2:4 noted
that quote the book’s creepy premise
justifies this modern second look which
proves to be a solid if not earth
shattering horror pic built around
notably good performances number 8 it’s
darker than the book it says Pet
Sematary honey it’s misspelled but
that’s what it says without giving too
much away Stephen King’s 1983 novel
revolves around every parent’s worst
nightmare making it one of the author’s
darkest works King actually thought he
crossed a line when he wrote the book
and that no publisher would pick it up
according to some critics this film
doesn’t just capture the book sinister
spirit it may be even darker than the
original source material initially Chris
Evangelista of / film didn’t think it
was possible to make a film version of
pet cemetery that was bleaker than the
book in his review though Evangelista
praised the film’s fearlessness writing
that quote the new Pet Sematary pushes
the envelope and then some going further
than king even dared number 7 it’s
characters and themes are complex Pet
Sematary is all about the grieving
process and how hard it is to accept
that a loved one is really gone Lewis
Creed tries to find a loophole in the
five stages of grief
going from denial to anger to bargaining
[Music]
well I don’t play dead the multi-layered
characters and themes from King’s novel
are present in this film as well in her
review for Collider Perry Nemiroff
mentioned that the scarce here largely
stemmed from the complexity of the story
as she ever so vividly put it quote Pet
Sematary digs its claws in quickly
injects the threat and uncertainty of
impending death in your veins and then
challenges you to hold on tight as the
characters are consumed by loss
desperation and violence number six it’s
full of references
many of Stephen King’s stories exist
within the same multiverse so whenever a
new Stephen King adaptation comes out
fans are on the lookout for connections
to his other works although it didn’t do
justice to the original novels the 2017
film interpretation of The Dark Tower
was complimented for its numerous Easter
eggs miss Torrence Jackie the Hulu
series Castle Rock drew inspiration from
various King stories littering every
episode with little details that only
true fans will pick up on according to
Monica Castillo of the Rapp Pet Sematary
is also loaded with quote hidden
references for people familiar to the
story she notably singled out an updated
cover of the rock song Pet Sematary by
the Ramones which plays over the end
credits number 5
it’s unexpectedly funny Boston one of
the most pleasant surprises about 2017
it is that the filmmakers were not
afraid to incorporate a sense of humor
allowing the audience to laugh in
between the scares okay well I’m
starting a bitchy now sometimes you
probably have crabs funny it would
appear that Pet Sematary has taken a
page from Penny wises book-balancing
genuine terror with black comedy Britt
Hayes wrote in her indieWIRE review
quote the new version of Pet Sematary is
both darkly humorous and quite chilling
modernizing some of the cheesier
emotional beats of that earlier
adaptation Megan Navarro of Bloody
Disgusting was delighted to find that
the movie had a funny bone writing quote
they also layer in an unexpected level
of dark humor which helps when the
horror sinks to visceral singular levels
of edge of your seat terror number four
it delivers the scares it’s not some
campfire story some of these are the
trees up there their warnings while a
few laps are certainly welcomed a horror
picture should be scary above all else
there’s ain’t a scary place le this
place of rest and speaking do you
remember that yes sir
fortunately Pet Sematary more than
delivers in the freight department
giving its target audience exactly what
they paid for
wit scoyoc you daughter Peter debruge of
variety highlight is the film’s chilling
atmosphere which particularly shines
through during several flashbacks and
dream sequences
although Bobbie Lapeer film threat took
issue with some of the film’s CGI he
ultimately felt the director’s Kevin
kill Chand Dennis wittmeyer kept quote
the atmosphere oppressive and creepy so
when a scare lands it does so in a big
way Jonathan Barkin of dread central
gave the film and especially glowing
review writing quote scary as hell
beautifully shot and faithful and tone
horror fans won’t want to miss this
number three
Amy Simon steals the show although Jason
Clark’s lead performances Lewis Creed
has been generally well-received
it’s the supporting cast that’s garnered
the most enthusiastic reviews Wow whole
place is ours I even got him to throw an
Old Forest as a new backyard
Heather Wixon of daily dead applauded
jeté Lawrence’s young Ellie ranking her
alongside cinemas creepiest kids slash
film complimented John Lithgow’s work as
Judd Crandall saying that he quote
brings a much-needed warmth to all the
doom and gloom for many critics the real
breakthrough performance comes from Amy
Simon as Rachael Creed well not a
household name you may recognise IMATS
from her appearances in Alien covenant
and the girlfriend experience Bloody
Disgusting was enamoured by her stating
quote between Simon Says captivating
performance and the roles she’s given
here Rachael Creed is the one we nearly
wish was the focal point of the film for
you seriously giving me career advice
number two it makes a few changes while
the reception’s who pet sematary has
been mostly positive critics have also
cautioned purists that the filmmakers do
deviate from the source material the
reviews haven’t delved too deep into
spoiler territory but they have made it
clear that fans of Kings book should not
expect a straightforward word-for-word
those woods belong to something else as
far as critics are concerned though
these creative liberties work to the
film’s advantage even with these
alterations bloody disgusting a short
fans that the film quote retains the
core essence of Kings themes
Betty like that to me sometimes Dead is
better and the same can be said about
change after all if Stanley Kubrick had
remained 100% faithful to King’s words
we wouldn’t have gotten 1980s version of
The Shining never do anything to hurt
you
never
don’t you yes number 1 the final act is
crazy based on the reviews for Pet
Sematary the final act is inclined to
either make or break the film for
audiences the ending is apparently
totally insane even by Stephen King
standards splitting critics down the
middle for indieWIRE quote the McCobb
pointed to the first two thirds of the
film swiftly devolves into silliness
ending on a note that is neither
heartbreaking nor horrific on the other
side of the coin ludie disgusting
champion the film for playing with
expectation saying quote everything you
thought you knew about this familiar
tale will be used against you in the
most invigorating and chilling ways
sometimes Dead is better whether you
ultimately think the ending works or not
one thing is evident it’s something we
sometimes dead is better do you agree
