10 Worst Horror Movies Of 2019
10. Pet Sematary
It is no easy task to take King’s 300,000-word novels and turn them into digestible cinema, but within the last few years, it seemed like filmmakers had figured out a formula for making his stories work on the screen. Then 2019's Pet Sematary happened.
As the plot of Pet Sematary goes along the film loses momentum. The writer of the film (Jeff Buhler) seems to want to throw those who have read the novel off by changing details, especially in the third act. However, these changes seem to happen just to trick book readers as opposed to actually serving the story.
In the first act, the movie takes great joy in playing in the source material's dark Sematary. As the runtime continues, it feels like the movie gets bored of playing there, and by the third act, the plot feels void of emotion. At the end of Pet Sematary, you do not feel a whole lot of anything.
