Is it weird that when a person got brutally stabbed to death I thought "I wish we could see this in more graphic detail"
Review by iana ★★ 24

two hour horror movies should be illegal [edit: wtf it’s not two hours long????]
Review by matt lynch ★★ 14

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 gags from the old (imperfect but still much better) movie. Big missed opportunity.

Sometimes leaving things as they are is better.
Review by Gavin Gibson ★★★★ 12

Before I get started on this review I am gonna quickly mention the book which It's based on and the previous adaptation of that book. The book is amazing and one of King's best works but the 1989 film…sucks. I kind of hate it. And the cult following It's gathered over the years confuses me. And what's more confusing is that people keep calling It a faithful adaptation despite the fact that there's not a mention of The Wendigo, entire characters from the book are nowhere to be seen, Jud's character is absent in favour of a stereotype and the genuine fear from the book is replaced with cheap gore BUT SURE, faithful adaptation right there.
Okay so I'm done…

The ending was so sinister and shocked me for a while. Love it. Also that weird fuckin' cat can act.

Not Right
Pet Sematary (2019) stamping its feet up the stairs screaming I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!! I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY PARENTS! I WISH YOU WERE DEAD!!! I WISH I WAS DEAD!!! THIS STUPID FAMILY!!! ARGH!!! NONE OF MY OTHER FRIENDS HAVE PARENTS AS DUMB AS YOU!!! YOU ARE SO OLD AND SO STUPID!!! YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! to Pet Sematary (1989) as they flop down upon their bed, hair in their eyes, tears of fury staining their pillow as they diary furiously or text-message their friends about same.
Pet Sematary (2019) isn't a movie about the inability to overcome grief in the aftermath of the loss of a loved one, Pet Sematary (2019) is about the difficulty…
Review by Hollie Horror ★½ 10

I'm so sick of movies with HGTV staged home vibes, Pet Sematary is as appealing to me as living in a prefab house in a subdivision lacking any charm, character, quirks or vulnerability, sterilized certainty that it's just like everything else on the cul-de-sac. When the dad gives his daughter this hideous stuffed bunny that looks exactly like a prop from her perfectly decorated bedroom, it's showing us how deep & heartfelt the film is willing to go.
Lifeless, regurgitated fluff---Pet Sematary 2019 was as entertaining as watching one of my two Norwegian Forest Cats open their mouths to expel a long, perfectly formed hairball. 1.5 stars because I didn't have to clean anything up.
p.s.
I laughed so hard when "the dad" scooped up his kid (after the other one died & came back) and was like "you smell so good" woulda killed for an ad-lib-side-eye: "unlike the dead one over there who REEKS."

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

By 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 believe that people act always irrational in uncomfortable situations? I can’t remember when I saw the last horror movie, in which the characters rationally responded to threats. How boring this genre has become ...

Let's test your very pesonal approach to different situations:
Question 1: You move into a new house in the countryside with your family. The front yard is not fenced and is adjacent to a road used by speeding trucks. The…

Another case of the trailer editor doing to good of a job (see MA) and making a badly made film look watchable. The only saving grace was Lithgow who I award my one star to. So much wasted potential

Review by harley ★★

im not sure why i was under the impression that people enjoyed this movie, because apparently no one did. in fact, we all hated it. i think the worst part by FAR was the creepy little zombie girl dancing creepy ballet all creepy like in her dirty creepy dress.
