Critics Consensus

Pet Sematary takes its source material in a few different directions, but this remake feels like an exhuming almost as often as it does a revival.

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

It's just a little too pulpy for the potential power of the story.

While there is an artificiality about the scenes in the woods, the performances, editing and sound design keep the fear factor simmering.

B-

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

He visto anteriores peliculas que se han adaptado de los libros de Stephen King que me han gustado esta por el contrario esta en un punto intermedio, es buena su trama pero la manera que contaron la historia no me llego a entretener. Hubiera querido que esa intriga que ponen al final de la pelicula hubiera estado en toda ella.

6.5/10 Remake of pet cemetery with modern life. Not bad but not as good as the original or the prequel.

I'm all for doing new things with source material (cause why not just read the book if you aren't going to do something new) but this one misses the mark. Maybe worth watching if you really have nothing else to do.
