Review Two of "Pet Sematary"


The devious doors of deception are found and opened in April’s “Pet Sematary” movie.  
The uncharted gateways leading to a tangible 5th dimension, a realm of uncharted territories, where the dead roam amidst the living. Macabre mayhem between the thinking dead, and the uncertain living forge a chaotic cocktail that’s deceitfully delicious.  

“Pet Sematary” is a tale of sorrow and resurrection fueled by unseen ancient deities. This year’s movie “Pet Sematary” strays form Stephen King’s 1980s book with the same title and the 1989 movie, also, “Pet Sematary.”

An adorable happy healthy elementary school aged girl dies tragically when hit by a big rig truck, and that’s when this year’s “Pet Sematary” displays its sinister sensation to horror movie fans of all ages. 




The dead in “Pet Sematary” only come back to life when buried by a loved in an ancient burial ground on the outskirts of Maine. When the dead come back to life, they are not crazed zombies eager to feast on the flesh of the living.

Despite the wisdom from his wife and neighbor, and his own heart, Louis buries his daughter Ellie in the Pet Sematary while his neighbor is passed out drunk and his wife is out of town. The very first night Ellie is resurrected, Louis fears himself for doing so. The picture below is the first night Ellie is brought back to life, and her father Louis has just tucked her into bed for the night. 





When the wife / mom returns home the next day, she is freaked out to see her daughter. Ellie is clearly not the warm-hearted loving child she was prior to her death. Ellie still speaks and hugs, but there’s and ominous void to her looks and personality now. 



Ellie immediately realizes her mom is scared to have her back in her new form.

“Mommy doesn’t want here anymore, that’s OK, I don’t want her here either,” Ellie says.




Jete Laurence, the very young actress portrays Ellie brilliantly!

The jest of this tale; the dead and living belong in two separate dimensions.
