ANOTHER horror movie release and ANOTHER opening night viewing for this horror freak. While the original film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel by the same title released back in 1989, I actually never watched it until one week before this reboot released 30 years later. I was never really into animals, which fed perfectly into my first viewing of the original because it is only LOOSELY focused on animals and is actually about much more than pets.
“Pet Sematary (2019)” is a reimagining in every sense of the word. I watched the original again one night before this year’s release; so, it was even fresher in my mind than most who did not do the same. It is for this reason that so many of the changes and risks taken by this version LEPT out at me, leaving me in a state of absolute delight throughout. It’s impossible to discuss these instances without giving spoilers; but, they exist and are plentiful.
Much like “Us,” the cinematography in Pet Sematary (2019) is astounding. The angles shot and transitions made engender a rather eerie feeling throughout the entire theatre. For those who never watched the original, it feels like they are discovering what the actors are discovering alongside them. For those who did watch the original, you’re still kept on edge because you either want to see where things deviate from the original and how, or you’re going through your own bit of dejavú.
Unlike “Us” and many hotly discussed and debated horror films, the ending is immensely satisfying. That really just speaks to how good of a job everybody involved in this project did, while still keeping it to a reasonable hour and forty minutes. I am literally getting shivers writing this PREview. I cannot WAIT to go see this movie again; and, seeing as how I’ve already seen Us twice, this one looks to be at LEAST a three-timer. Horror movies are admittedly easier for me to enjoy than for most others to because of the general infatuation I have for the premise behind all such films: scaring those who are watching voluntarily in as creative a way as can be thought of. I thoroughly enjoyed “Prodigy,” “Greta” and “Us;” but, Pet Sematary (2019) is easily my favorite horror film theatrical release of 2019 so far. Needless to say, it gets the easiest 5 reps out of 5 that I could possibly give a film.
Have YOU visited the Pet Sematary (2019) yet? How did it make out in your eyes? If you watched the original, then tell me how it measured up. If you haven’t watched the original, then what did you think about how things unfolded; and, will you now be watching the original? Share with me as I love so much doing with you!
