2023 paramount+ movie.
To understand this story, you need to know the character Jud Crandall. If you are unaware of this character, do not watch the movie.
Jud Crandall was one of the characters in the 1983 novel Pet Sematary, the 1989 film adaptation, the 2019 film remake, and is the main character of the Pet Sematary: Bloodlines prequel.
In the first movie/book, Gage was killed by Creed by biting his throat.
In the 2019 Remake, the recast Ellie Creed stabs Jud to death in front of the camera.
In the prequel to 2023's Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, we watch Jud as a young man searching for his purpose in life.
In the first movie/book, Jud Crandall is Dr. Louis tells 3 stories to Creed.
A) How the Micmac cemetery was formed b) Veteran returning from Vietnam c) The dog that went crazy in the town years ago.
In this movie we see the first two stories. The third story is already a Cujo reference.
In Stephen King's universe, everything is interconnected.
The film is Lindsey Anderson Beer's directorial debut and she did as clean a job as she could.
Beer and Jeff Buhler also co-wrote the film.
Even though Stephen King's name is mentioned in the credits, this is only because he owns the character and the story.
But if Stephen King had written a prequel to this story, it wouldn't be much different from this scenario.
He also liked the movie.
It was nice to see Henry Thomas and David Duchovny in the Stephen King universe, even if indirectly.
After the commercial success of this movie, the 2019 production, which I did not like very much, the studio wanted to make another movie.
Personally, I don't like that movie and the second movie very much.
The film opened at Fantastic Fest on September 23, 2023, and was released on Paramount + on October 6.
The comments made about the movie are a bit harsh, after all, we have a script developed based on the stories told in the first movie/book and what can be done is limited to that.
Moreover, the return to 50 years ago was achieved quite successfully.
Long story short, this is a horror movie, but it is not a solo movie and it is a production that appeals to those who love its own universe.
If you watch the movie from this perspective, you will love it.
