“It might seem scary but it’s not,” coos Jason Clarke’s Dr. Louis Reed to his button-cute daughter Ellie (Jeté Laurence), explaining about the pet cemetery that occupies part of the land of their new home. Don’t you believe a word of it. The second adaptation of Stephen King’s 1983 novel, Pet Sematary 2019 aims to burrow under your skin – and succeeds.

Ellie and her mother Rachel (Amy Seimetz) soon see the (misspelled) ‘sematary’ in action as a procession of mask-wearing kids, looking like something out of The Wicker Man, pass by with a beloved creature to bury. Clearly something in this sprawling property in Ludlow, Maine, is amiss: Rachel is being troubled by visions of her sister Zelda, who died years earlier. Meanwhile, Louis’ failure to save student Victor (Obssa Ahmed) from a traffic accident is vividly haunting his dreams.
