Review Date:

2019's 'Pet Sematary' diverges from King's original, delivering decent visuals and robust Dolby Atmos audio, but falls short in emotional depth and genuine scares.

Pet Sematary's Blu-ray presentation features a crisp 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode, showcasing sharp definition with detailed textures in clothing and foliage, true black levels despite some murky interior shots, and a balanced color palette with eye-catching reds, making it a solid though not spectacular visual experience.

Audio: 84

Pet Sematary’s Dolby Atmos track on Blu-ray is an impressive sonic experience, offering nuanced surround activity, crisp dialog, and deep, impactful bass. The atmospheric mix includes effective overhead and ambient sounds, providing both intense and subtle moments with excellent clarity and stage presence.

Extra: 50

The Extras in the Pet Sematary Blu-ray feature a comprehensive array of content including an alternate ending, deleted and extended scenes, and in-depth featurettes that explore the adaptation process, production design, location scouting, and thematic elements, making it a substantial treat for fans and cinephiles.

Movie: 47

The 2019 remake of 'Pet Sematary' delivers top-notch acting and a solid horror experience, incorporating new scenes while retaining some elements from the original. However, it lacks the psychological depth and emotional draw of King's novel and the 1989 adaptation, opting for procedural horror over profound exploration of human fear and pain.
