Casts a somber mood and leaves no room for humor or fun to creep in.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 28, 2024

It capitalises off of terrific performances and a drawn out atmosphere.

| Jul 14, 2024

Pet Sematary feels like a good time horror film wrapped in the Stephen King charm, but its terrors run deep and its implications devastating.

| Nov 18, 2023

It's one that will leave you constantly questioning its logic and always aware of its unfulfilled potential.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2022

At 101 minutes, Pet Sematary feels like it's in a rush to get to the gore, whereas the real horror of this story lies in the justifications that lead a rational man to go against everything he believes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2022

The remake of Stephen King's classic spirals into silliness more often than darkness...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 23, 2021

If you need to satisfy that Stephen King itch, there is Gerald's Game on Netflix that I feel is worth the time and occupation. Life is too short to waste on mediocre horror.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 7, 2021

Gruesome and unpleasant, all while kinda-sorta insisting that it's making some kind of insight about the nature of death.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 5, 2021

Most of the changes are superficial and may not feel wholly necessary at the end of the day, but Kölsch and Widmyer have nevertheless crafted a sleek update of King's novel.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 30, 2020

I love where they're going with the dread, and you know death and dwelling on how insignificant we all are all that jazz, I love that about this film but it doesn't deliver as a standalone film for me.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 16, 2020

The second time around for Stephen King's version of "The Monkey's Paw" is a hurried muddle that lacks heart.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Nov 20, 2020

King fans should be pleased.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 5, 2020

Some King fans may take issue with the changes made to the final act of this story. But it fits wickedly well with this remakes M.O: to toy with your expectations.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

It seems to me quite sloppy and it doesn't stop reducing itself all the time to the predictable mechanisms of the horror narrative. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 2, 2020

It's a scary film that earns its scares by making us care deeply for its characters. And while that isn't as much of a rarity in horror as it used to be, it still feels particularly special when someone gets it as right as this film does.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 21, 2020

A resurrected classic that turns out to be a comedy of grisly errors.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 13, 2020

While it's okay, "Pet Sematary" never does much to distinguish itself.

| Original Score: C | Jun 30, 2020

This Pet Sematary falls firmly in between the book and the original movie ... In some respects, it feels closer in spirit to the novel, even with the number of changes made to the story.

| Jun 28, 2020

Still, there's fun to be had here.

| Mar 18, 2020

This newest adaptation proves that, when written and directed with care, there's still life in the world of horror created by Stephen King.
