Even tough I have read quite a lot of books from Stephen King, Pet Sematary isn't one of them. At least for now. Therefore, I will strictly write this review based on what happens in the movie because I tend to be very harsh when it comes to the movies based on the books I have read. Compared to the 1989 version of the movie with the same name, this one is quite different and some scary elements have been added in the story and I am pretty sure these elements don't exist in the book either. Story wise, Pet Sematary is quite unique and powerful but either because of the director or something else, no one manages to master this exceptional horror story. It always feels underrated and unappreciated. A story like this could have been turned into a great show with necessary elements but the directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer fail to bring those elements together. First of all, the story itself is quite creepy that's why there shouldn't be any scene where directors try to scare you with stupid screams or sound or things that happen too suddenly in the dark. Scaring with sound is a well-known element in horror movies with that story that has nothing to give to the audience. Pet Sematary, story wise, isn't one of them but it seems like the directors do not believe in their own movie. Atmosphere was dark enough to give you chills and it was absolutely necessary for the movie's credibility. Acting was fine but nothing exceptional. What I found quite illogical was the decisions of those characters in the movie. They are presented us to be smart people but they took every wrong decision possible. Pet Sematary also shows us that sometimes dead is indeed better, much better. After I got out of the cinema saloon, I understand the value of letting go. Sometimes you just need to let go because when you are trying to save something very little you may destroy everything else around you. It was pretty sad to witness the destruction of such a nice family. As I have written above, with a little bit of touch, this story could have been turned into a masterpiece, but as the way it is, Pet Sematary is still watchable and enjoyable.
