Pet Sematary - Another Good Stephen King Adaptation?

After the success of Stephen King's "It", it was expected that another work of his would me remade again for this generation. Pet Sematary was one of them and was announced soon after.  The original movie was launched in 1989 and it is just in time for the 30th anniversary for the new adaptation to the wicked story.

I have not seen the first film, and have not read the book, which makes this my first impression for this story. Though the story can be adjusted to the modern times, it is important to know what or who is the real evil here. 

The story deals with the Creed family who moved from the city for the rural life to take it slow. But evil lurks everywhere in a Stephen King setting, one of kids Ellie found the Pet Sematary while lurking in the woods, she met Judd who knows the dark secrets of the "semetary" and beyond. To make the story short, someone will die, and they will come back to life in not a good way.

I have seen some snippets of the original movie which was I was expecting, the characters does give vibe to 80's fashion but some effects were too silly you forget that it is a horror film. So I would give points to the new one for adapting to the right elements of horror not to exaggerate.

Pet Sematary stars Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, John Lithgow. Directed by Kevin Kölsch, and Dennis Widmyer, now showing in cinemas.

Deliberation time kids! 

Film summary: How To Resurrect Your Dead

Quotable quote: “Sometimes dead is better" - Judd

Technical Effects: 4 out of 5 stars (The gore was expected but underwhelming despite the director's past gory works)

Plot: 3 out of 5 stars (Though it went on another direction with the story, it seems for fitting and can help build its own franchise like "It")

Acting and Actors: 5 out of 5 stars (Though Jason Clarke has more screen time here, I liked the character of Ellie played by Jeté Laurence)

Pros:  Plot change, eerie environment, and mythical connection
Cons: Underwheming gore,  character disposal, 

Music and Soundtracks:  3 out for 5 stars (Music by Christopher Young, who worked on "Priest" and "Drag Me To Hell" used subtle scoring yet with occasional jump scare inserts)

Overall: Rating 3.7 out of 5 stars (Another interesting Stephen King book adaptation which is just right but still needs some improvement to make it more thrilling and chilling.
