HOW DOES THIS ONE STACK UP AGAINST OTHER STEPHEN KING ADAPTATIONS?
Quote:
One of the best Stephen King adaptations in the past decade.
– Monica Castillo, The Wrap
Not merely a solid entry to the long list of films based on King’s work; it joins the ones sitting at the top as one of the very best.
– Perri Nemiroff, Collider
Pet Sematary is one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever.
– Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm
A solid if not earthshaking horror pic built around notably good performances.
– John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
A bloodless bastardization of its source material that sinks under its own uninspired storytelling and horror movie cliches.
– Bryan Rolli, The Daily Dot
HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE 1989 VERSION?
Quote:
Sometimes, different is better.
– Dan Caffrey, Consequence of Sound
The 1983 novel sees the adaptation it’s always deserved.
– Jonathan Barkan, Dread Central
The new Pet Sematary pushes the envelope, and then some, going further than King even dared. The fact that this is a studio film is both surprising, and thrilling.
– Chris Evangelista, Slashfilm
This Pet Sematary is more effective than the previous adaptation, at least until the climax.
– Britt Hayes, IndieWire
They’re not doing nearly enough to distinguish this version from the one that came before.
– Peter Debruge, Variety
oh no..Nobody replaces Herman Muinster...and a girl replacing the cute little boy run over by a truck?!?!? Oh no..Trailer looks awful. All indications point to this remake will be bad.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
