Just saw it and liked it way more than I thought I would. Absolutely worth the price of admission.
However paramount needs to have a chat with its marketing team. That reveal in the trailer would’ve been a monster wtf moment in the film, especially with the way the scene unfolded. Anyway the whole cast is great and Church rules
I thought it was decent although I found a lot of the changes to be necessary
Spoilers
Spoiler:
I haven’t seen the original in years so I can’t go into comparisons yet. John Lithgow was good but I think I prefer Fred Gwynne. Likewise I think the original Zelda was scarier.

IMO it would have been better than what we actually got in the theaters.

I finally got round to seeing this now that it is on VOD. It's basically a typical Hollywood horror film. Not great, not awful. I can understand not simply remaking the original but none of the characters are likeable or interesting. The biggest difference between this one and the original is the lack of character depth. The backstory and motivations of the characters are glossed over in this film. The Victor Pascow character, for example, is almost pointless. Overall I liked the original much better. No comparison.
There was a special cat cafe screening of Pet Sematary.

Can't believe they cut out stuff like this, dumb move on their part
I have an idea- take one of the coolest relationships in the King canon and destroy it. Why do Louis and Jud appear to dislike each other? So weird.

Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
The previous version they had a Timmy Baterman short movie on the dvd/bluray

This production is totally unnecessary, a waste of funds and doomed to failure in my humble opinion.

Pet Sematary, Stephen King’s self-proclaimed scariest property ever, next installment in the franchise has gained momentum as it looks like it has found its director. Sources tell Deadline, Lindsey Beer has signed on to direct Paramount Players’ follow-up adaptation of the successful 2019 horror pic based on Stephen King’s best-seller. Beer has become one of busiest screenwriters and this will mark her directing debut. The classic 1989 adaptation made history with Mary Lambert directing the pic and its 1992 follow-up and it was important to studio execs to go back to the films roots and have a female filmmaker at the helm. Beer has wanted to jump into the directing the chair and saw this as a perfect opportunity. Beer also wrote the latest script based off a draft by Jeff Buhler.
Plot details are unknown at this time. The original story, which the 1989 and 2019 pic was also loosely based on, with their own different twists, followed a family, who after tragedy strikes, a grieving father discovers an ancient burial ground behind his home with the power to raise the dead.
The film will debut exclusively on Paramount+. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian will produce.
Beer has become one of the more sought after female screenwriters in town penning such big-budget pics as Chaos Walking and Transformers: The Last Night. She is also a writer and EP of the Netflix hit Sieraa Burgess is A Loser. She is also penning the upcoming live-action Bambi adaptation, and writers room for Godzilla Vs. Kong. She is repped by ICM Partners.
Earlier it was reported to be a prequel.
Geez, just how many times are, King and Hollywood going to rip off poor old Edgar Allen Poe?
