Pet Sematary (2019) doesn't stray far from the path of the 1989 predecessor. Despite it not being as challenging as it should be, it is much better acted, grounded and coherent than the first film adaptation of King's acclaimed novel. It is spooky, melancholic, eerie, well-shot with solid performances. There's quality ingredients but they came served in a teacup when the audience wanted a full plate.
Genre filmmakers in recent years are taking big risks which have brought a new wave of horror culture that intrigues and challenges audiences and unfortunately Pet Sematary watched the wave pass by and kept their eyes on the conventional horror-by-number formula that recalls the remake parade of 2004 thru 2009.
Solid, but stoic.
