Review of Pet Sematary (2019) by Truth_Of_Pisces — 19 Apr 2019

I had never seen the original Pet Sematary before this film, so I managed to go in with no expectation and judge this movie on its own merit. It's not a bad movie, and it certainly has moments of genuine terror and suspense, and strong performances but sadly it is held back by a lengthy, plodding, and an exposition-heavy first half.

By the time it finally kicks off, in contrast to the first half of the film, the later half feels rushed and over far too soon. Overall, I would say as far as Stephen King movies go, it's not the worst, but it never rises to the standard set by 2017's "IT".
