Considering the original Pet Sematary is one of the better Stephen King adaptations, the prospect of a remake was already shaky. This version has some big shoes to fill and tries its best to shake things up but can never live up to the original film. John Lithgow is a highlight and Jason Clarke likewise is a good fit. There are some good moments (and I did like the dark ending) but overall it feels like a stretch. It's not bad, but feels a bit unnecessary.
