Review of Pet Sematary (2019) by Masada — 15 Apr 2019
Acceptable adaption of King's arguably darkest story. While I agreed with some changes that would suit the story and production of a movie, I was saddened the ending was changed. And not for the better.
Maybe I'm just too much of a fan of King's work to fully appreciate the changes made. Newcomers to King's work will definitely enjoy it more than a fan. John Lithgow is excellent as Jud but Jeté Laurence steals the entire movie with her performance.
Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz are forgetable at best. Clarke's Louis feels too much like a wet paper towel while I have an entirely different vision of the character. Most of my points went to set design, cinematography and Lithgow's and Laurence's acting.
Enjoyable, but just not there.
