Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Sometimes, dead is better. Stephen King’s chilling novel of second chances is adapted anew. Louis and Amy Creed (Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz) move their family to rural Maine. As the couple and their two young children settle in, they meet neighbor Jud Crandall (John Lithgow) and discover a mysterious burial ground for pets not far from their home.
Beyond that strange location, however, is another plot of land — and anything buried in this hallowed ground returns to a mangled semblance of life. When tragedy strikes, Louis Creed can’t resist the temptation to use that power to assuage his grief. His decision unleashes an evil which may consume the entire family.

Is it weird that when a person got brutally stabbed to death I thought "I wish we could see this in more graphic detail"
Patrick WillemsApr 5, 2019There is literally 4 different jump scares from Semi Trucks

A crappy remake rather than an actual adaptation, this absolutely guts King's novel, but even setting that aside it also just squanders all that melancholy rumination and filial anxiety in favor of magnifying or arbitrarily twisting the clunkiest and/or most literal scary…
matt lynchJul 13, 2019Bruh I was so excited for Gage to get hit by that truck again why did this movie do me dirty like this
#1 gizmo fanApr 7, 2019how do you take this source material and adapt it so listlessly. HOW

Sometimes leaving things as they are is better.
Cameron KanachkiApr 18, 2019uh
LucyApr 6, 2019By far the scariest part of the story was Jason Clarke in the role of a warmhearted and loyal family man. Does horror actually only arise if the protagonists do exactly what normal people would never do? Why do authors, screenwriters and directors of horror stories…

Trash Boat likedPet SemataryGreat movie
Sabrina Bondi is "meh" onPet SemataryIt’s one that will leave you constantly questioning its logic and always aware of its unfulfilled potential.
Ava H dislikedPet SemataryOriginal was better.

I already watched this in theaters but I decided to watch it again for the hell of it. It’s not as bad as I remember it but it’s still lacking a lot of the main elements from the book. SLIGHT SPOILERS when Ellie got hit I like the silence of it but it was a little bland- In reply
Chad lovedPet SemataryHappy feel good ending to this movie. So glad that the family came back together as one. More importantly the little car is such a good actor pspsppssppspspsps
Catherine is "meh" onPet SemataryTrop éloigné de l’œuvre original

Alex Woods likedPet Sematary6/10
Skyy is "meh" onPet SemataryIt’s hard to judge a movie when it’s based off of a novel I have not read. However, it wasn’t at scary as I thought it would be, more creepy. I think the cat was a great actor, and I could help but feel bad for the toddler, Gage. What did he see during filming this movie? How’d they get him to cry…
Josey Atwood is "meh" onPet SemataryOverall 5/10. I watch a lot of scary movies and although this one is a good one, it just wasn’t up my alley. I hate that jud died. I hate that the mom died. And I hate how the dad thought it was a good idea even after knowing she’d be the complete opposite. Plus the little boy 😔.

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

This Remake was Horrible! Original was much better!
DTDiva TownsendHonestly a great remake with a complete twist!
JMJason MillerGray 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.

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.
