Review of Pet Sematary (2019) by Trineo99 — 13 Apr 2019

First of all, this film feels like three different movies all put together to make one movie and that isn’t a good thing. The first part of this film was slow, the next part was intense and interesting and felt right, and the last part just took the film in a whole different direction.

Now the first two parts I can understand being the way they are but I think the third part should’ve just been added to the second part. The editing in this film in some section was choppy and didn’t transition properly.

When there was an intense scene it would just cut to a happy go lucky scene. While in other cases it just didn’t add up as if they wrote the script and didn’t realize there was no proper transition between scenes.

At least the film had beautiful shots to look at. All the cinematography and settings were stunning and you can tell that Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, the directors of the movie, took their time to make sure that everything looked right in the shots.

Now I have to talk about the acting and really all I can say is that it is better than the original movie but at the same time I think a few changes to the cast could have helped the movie out. Jason Clarke and John Lithgow, who plays Jud Crandall, probably were the best ones in the cast, well other than Lucas Lavoie who plays Gage Creed who was just cute.

They brought the most out to help carry this movie and make it interesting. It is safe to say though that John Lithgow did a better job than Jason though. Towards the end, Jason just did a complete 360 with his character.

In the end, Pet Sematary is a good with lots of flaws in it. Whether you take it seriously or not you’ll still enjoy it.
