The best part of the movie was seeing a highway sign that read “DERRY 20”.

wait for it to come out on Netflix or DVD. Ending was disappointing.

It was like they read every third page of the book and completely disregarded the ending; nevertheless, I still liked it.

Gray movie. With that said there is nothing like the original. Effects were great. The cast did an awesome job. If you like scary movies this is a must see.

Good flick. Itmade me jump more than once. As a big King fan, I appreciated some Easter eggs to his works. It also was just different enough from the book and first movie to be a remake with some good twists.

The movie was excellent! I found it more entertaining than scary. Fact, I think it wasn't even scary at all! I would see it again.

It had potential, but then halfway it became the same old garbage Hollywood is known for when it comes to horror. As many others warned the ending was just that terrible. It's almost as though they were rushing to finish production and even the dialogue became cliche. no…

I have never seen the original or read the book. This was a new experience for me. The end left me wanting more, it was like part of the movie was missing. It wasn’t scary, it wasn’t creepy, maybe I’m missing something.

Great movie. I love the original movie. This was a solid remake. The acting was great. Good plot twist. I even liked the ending. But if you are looking for a happy ending then you may need to look elsewhere. I definitely recommend this movie to any horror fan.

it was a decent movie. not anywhere as good as the original. it seemed very rushed and had plenty of plot holes. i like the idea of bringing this movie back. could it have been better? yes. maybe they should have re-made the shining instead.

A few jump scares and gore. It’s better than the original but I’d recommend seeing Us instead.

This remake is incredible! I loved that they didn’t depend too much on noise scares, and really got into the real terrifying sequences. Stephen King movie adaptions are always amazing. Pet Sematary is a must see.

I did not like the ending, I think it could have been better. A lot of the original flashbacks were gone. Oh and I watched the original again after this, and they actually changed the name of the neighbor’s dog! It was Spot!

The story has enough pathos to fulfill the expectations of a great tragedy, but the film feels like a commercial for something else entirely.

Pet Sematary balances humor, drama, and horror believably while exploring the inner turmoil of a seemingly ordinary couple; though the script does not go far enough in establishing their new life and dodgy special effects hurt some scenes. Happily, the cast makes up for these flaws with great turns, lead by Jeté Laurence, whose performance is reason enough to watch the film.
