What do you think about Pet Sematary and both film adaptations?
Of the three, the book is definitely the best. I'm not a huge fan of either movie adaptation, although I prefer the 2019 film. The 1989 film is more faithful to the book, but I personally don't mind the changes in the new one. I don't really have a specific reason but I just don't like the 1989 movie.
Some issues I have with Pet Sematary that make it hard for me personally to read: the ableism surrounding Rachel’s sister, Zelda, and the inaccurate portrayal of the w*ndigo. I understand that the ableism sorta makes sense within it’s context (it’s supposed to be bad), but it still makes it hard for me to read.  As for the w*ndigo, if you’re interested, Stolen Spirits: The Appropriation of the W*ndigo Spirit in Horror Literature is a research paper (can be accessed for free through a Google search of the title) that explores inaccurate portrayals of the w*ndigo in Western media and how they perpetuate stereotypes of the cultures from which they originate. To sum it up with a quote from that paper, “Depicting the w*ndigo as a monster targeting white people in Maine misrepresents the purpose and existence of the w*ndigo, as it is no longer representative of the Native environmental and cultural struggles it stems from”. I don’t think Stephen King is a bad person for doing this (he didn’t intentionally cause harm), but I do think it’s important to acknowledge. He should’ve just made up his own creature or came up with a different back story for the cemetery instead of borrowing a creature from another culture that he doesn’t fully understand. I’ve censored the name of the creature out of respect for these cultures because it is believed that saying the name can summon the creature. 
Overall, I enjoyed reading the book. It’s one of his better novels and definitely worth reading.  As for the movies, I’m indifferent.  I wouldn’t mind watching either one, but I don’t feel the urge to re-watch them.

YouTube Content! Pet Sematary 2019 Comedy Teaser Trailer
I made a quick little teaser trailer that asks the question, "What if Pet Sematary 2019 was a heartwarming family comedy about a day in the life of a family and their zombie child?" Come take a look!
I made a silly little thing! Inspired by the scene in Pet Sematary 2019 that made me realize the movie should have switched focus to be a heartwarming family comedy about a day in the life of a dad and his zombie child. Enjoy!

Pet Sematary (2019)
Tumblr media
Between the 2019 and 1989 adaptations of Stephen King's Pet Sematary, there's no contest but the newer take still suffers from the flaws present in the original text. If you’re looking for a good horror movie, you’ll be able to overlook them. The movie’s got a lot of atmosphere and is genuinely creepy. In some ways, it even improves upon the original story.
Louis Creed (Jason Clarke) moves into a house near the small town of Ludlow with his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz), their 8-year-old daughter Ellie (Jeté Laurence) and young son Gauge (Hugo and Lucas Lavoie). Though nothing is outright wrong with their new home, something about the place makes them uneasy. When Ellie’s cat is killed on the road, Louis’ neighbor, Jud (John Lithgow), instructs him to bury the animal past the local “Pet Sematary”, in an ancient burial ground with strange properties.
Writer Jeff Buhler really should’ve taken notes from Christine and ditched the film’s ghost (played by Obssa Ahmed) to give us more time with the family. Although the pull of the ancient burial ground is present throughout, it wouldn’t have hurt to show us a bit more - in the process allowing the developments to breathe. As is, the film is speeding through everything. Considering the 101-minute running time, that’s impressive.
Also impressive are the ways the picture finds to creep you out. There are several eerie dream sequences, all well done. They always begin with that weird dream logic and take a dark turn that makes it clear something’s amiss but not in a way that’s too ominous - at least not to characters who don’t know they’re in a horror movie. Too often, however, the atmosphere is overly done. The creepy kids wearing animal masks for their pet's funeral procession don’t add anything to the story except a sensation of unease and the characters affected by the burial ground are a bit too obviously off. More breathing room between the hints of incoming danger would’ve done the picture a lot of good.
This adaptation is at its best during the second half when Jeté Laurence as Ellie gets a lot more attention. She’s terrific whether she's being sweet or ominous. The scenes of Ellie and Jud are particularly effective, and give the ending a punch. Focussing the conclusion on the way the burial ground affects her - rather than Gage, like in the last adaptation - makes for some surprises even if this isn't your first visit to the cemetery.
Pet Sematary on a dark and appropriately bleak note. It’s moody and creepy. The performances are quite good, particularly the side characters. The dream sequences are effective. Sometimes it tries too hard to scare or is unfortunately shackled to the source material. If you like the original film, this is an improvement. If you like the book, it stays faithful and mixes things up a bit to be unpredictable. Down the line, we will probably get another take that polishes the rough edges and gives us a truly nightmare-inducing rendition of this tale but in the meantime, there’s plenty to like here.

Pet Sematary (2019) 28/10/23
Rating before seeing the movie:
Nic: 8
Vic: 9
Rating after seeing the movie:
Nic: 8
Vic: 8.5
What you did like about the movie:
CHURCH. BEST BOY. GOODEST ANIMAL ACTOR.
The child actors were great. 
Jud! Vic is partial to the 80s version of him, but the 2019 version is great too!
What you didn’t like about the movie:
It felt unfinished.
The whole movie would have been pointless if they’d just had the Death Talk with Ellie before everything.
Rachel is a bitch for leaving her husband alone while he’s grieving.
There’s a lot of plot holes.
Particularly memorable scene:
Vic: When Jud gets his ankle cut.
Nic: Church in the road
Would you watch it again:
Vic: Yes
Nic: Maybe
Reflections:
Vic: “I have a whole thing for Pet Sematary since it was one of the first horror movies I finished, but there are plot holes and a bunch of things could have been fixed really simply. I still enjoyed it though.” Nic: “I have never seen this movie and had a lot of misconceptions about it. It feels unfinished for some reason and maybe that’s just me. Also, lot of places we could have stepped off this crazy train guys.”
Final quotes:
Vic: “I wonder why. Why he’s so stinky. Might be. Because he’s a zombie cat.”
Nic: “This wouldn't have happened. If you just. Had the death talk. JUST TELL YOUR DAUGHTER THAT DEATH HAPPENS ”
