Read Ashley K's review of Pet Sematary.
Based on the seminal horror novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed (Jason Clarke), who, after relocating with his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family’s new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his unusual neighbor, Jud Crandall (John Lithgow), setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.
Pet Sematary is in theaters on April 5th, 2019.
When the Creed family movies to a small town they discover it’s not what they thought it would be. Lewis Creed (Jason Clarke) takes a job as a doctor at a local college, the family moves from Boston to slow down a bit and enjoy their lives.
Little do they know their land also has a haunted Native American burial ground that can bring back the dead. When tragedy befalls the family, Lewis makes a lot of bad decisions and it leads to their demise.
Jeté Laurence plays the daughter, Eleanor. She is a wonderful actress and I was very impressed with her delivery! John Lithgow is the lovable neighbor, Jud - it’s hard not to like everything he is in. Amy Seimetz is Lewis’ wife - Rachel, who is haunted by the tragic death of her sister. That was definitely one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen in a movie.
If you’re a horror movie buff or just like being scared, this movie will appeal to anyone. There’s not a lot of cursing or sexual content which is common for horror movies. I thought that was nice for a change. I love scary movies and thought it was great - plus there’s an adorable cat!
Rating: 4 out of 5
