For Pet Sematary, screenwriter Jeff Buhler acknowledged that he and the directors will focus on the original source material, hoping to create “the scariest Stephen King adaptation ever.”
Those who are familiar with the original Pet Sematary source material, may consider a wide range of scenes to be crucial for a loyal remake.
The same argument could be made for Mary Lambert’s 1989 film Pet Sematary, which didn’t quite impress critics with its overt visual scares.
The filmmakers behind the new Pet Sematary reboot are reportedly taking an old school approach to keep audiences properly terrified.
