Once deemed too frightening to be published by Stephen King himself, this tale of unearthed evil gets a satisfyingly sinister new cinema adaptation.
Like so many reanimated pets and national traumas, adaptations of Stephen King's work just keep rising up from the poisoned soil of American popular culture.
Like Peele's Us, King's Pet Sematary follows a middle-class nuclear family whose move to a remote country house disrupts what lies festering beneath the ground. Since this is a Stephen King story, it goes without saying that the animal burial ground borders something altogether more sinister — an occultic marshland with supernatural properties — and there are harrowing flashbacks to Rachel's childhood and her sister Zelda , whose teenage death from spinal meningitis continues to haunt her.
