A spot to lay our animal companions to rest and keep their memory alive. I realize it might seem unsettling, but there's really nothing to be afraid of. It’s completely normal, just like death itself is a natural process. Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer directed the film, with Stephen King, Matt Greenberg, and Jeff Buhler contributing to the screenplay. The cast includes Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, John Lithgow, Jeté Laurence, and Hugo and Lucas Lavoie. Christopher Young composed the music, and Laurie Rose was in charge of cinematography. Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to Ludlow, Maine, a rural area, along with their two young children. Ellie, their oldest daughter, finds a peculiar graveyard tucked away in the woods near their new house, where locals bury their deceased pets. It wasn’t as dreadful as I anticipated, but does it surpass the initial movie? The first film was itself an unremarkable adaptation of what is otherwise a very good novel. You'd have expected the 2019 version to inject some fresh energy into the narrative at least. However, despite certain alterations (one of which was rather clumsily highlighted in the promotional material), it remains largely derivative and hasn’t managed to draw new people into this story. There are moments of quality, though. Jeté Laurence, the young actress playing a key role, delivers an impressive performance, especially later on. The design of the Pet Sematary itself and the surrounding landscape is wonderfully unsettling; Laurie Rose, the photographer, deserved to be involved in a stronger film. Also effective is the sound design at that specific location, which perfectly captures the intended atmosphere. The conclusion has sparked considerable disagreement, but I personally appreciated the change it brought. Two writers and two directors collaborated on this adaptation, but they didn’t achieve much success overall, and the movie feels like a project developed solely for financial gain. It would be better to read the book and listen to The Ramones' album of the same name instead. 6/10
