If it means watching Pet Sematary: Bloodlines again, you probably won't wanna be buried in a pet sematary. Why not treat yourself this year for Halloween by avoiding this mess and taking the time to pick something else? This is one of those movies that you hear about, see the poster for and immediately ask: what were they thinking? Is this really necessary? Who in their right minds came up with the idea of this? Bloodlines centres on a young Jud Crandall, and tells the story of... well... a whole bunch of crazy stuff happening around him during the time period. Coming from an unpopular opinion with no real hatred towards remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels or spin-offs, it's undeniable that this is a completely catastrophe of a movie, founded by an average idea. It's filled with so many ridiculous plot holes and dumb circumstances, that it becomes difficult to watch without wondering why the project was even taken up in the first place. For where credit's due though, the film actually has a pretty interesting first act that moves smoothly, and it's competently made in terms of how the shots look, how the camera works and the fact that the actors actually do somewhat of a decent job, but that's pretty much all that's good about it. Everything wrong with Pet Sematary: Bloodlines can pretty much be summed down to most of the writing and whoever the hell came up with the idea. It feels very much like the writers had a bunch of "cool" horror movie ideas that they wanted to just put out there, but a bunch of stupid clichés crammed into one is how it turned out to be. There's also a few scenes where you can tell they're sort of trying to add some emotions with the characters, but those deeper feelings are never explored further, so all of the emotional crap feels very forced and unnecessary. Remember how the original adaptation in 1989 and the 2019 remake both offer brief, yet multiple references to the events that occurred in the past of supporting character Jud Crandall? Well you can toss all of that aside; nearly none of it applies here or is given second thought, providing the film with even more logical issues and missed opportunities than it already had. This is a movie that's so bad, you can barely even have fun with it because it takes its stupidity staggeringly seriously. The characters are unlikable, there's nobody to care about, and overall, it's another classic example of Pet Sematary's quote of why "sometimes dead is better".

Jud Crandall is much younger in 1969, compared to him being an old man in 1989, which kind of makes no sense from the start. Jud Crandall would have been in is fourties in this movie in 1969, yet now he is just a young man who is not even 30. If you fast forward to 1989 he look like a 65 year old retired man. If you can get pass that the movie is really not that bad, at least not on the level of the bad rating its getting anyways. I love the casting of actors, pam grier, david Duchovny, the main lead blonde is really hot and easy on the eyes. The story is the same as in all pet cemetery movies, its an ok way to pass 2 hours but very forgettable.

Pet Sematary is and probably always will be my favorite Stephen King book so I am quite pleased that the chapter going further into Jud Crandall's past was finally given a more in depth film adaptation. Yes there were many changes made here like most book to film adaptations usually always do but I still found myself pleased to see many of the characters given more screentime compared to the original film and the remake. I really enjoyed the casting of the actor playing Timmy Baterman. Although they took a ton of liberties, he definitely embodies that character and makes the movie excellent. Just like described in the book, it's almost like everything he says and does is like a "radio signal". I am very pleased they were able to capture that here. They did a great job.

Such harsh reviews for what to me was a fun/ dreaded/ horrorfull return to Ludlow! I saw the movie way back in theaters! And absolutely ADORED it! This movie felt right AT HOME explaining the whole burial ground and Jud's past with it... Wonderfully directed Mrs Beer! Nice cinematography and the CAST!!! 😱 Amazing performances by all but Timmy(Jack Mulhern) and Jud(Jackson White) TWO 🥈🥈 Silver Stars among the well heralded stars they were surrounded by! Would have GLADLY paid full theater prices for this! BRAVO TO ALL INVOLVED! DON'T LISTEN TO THE CRAZY HATE! Some just don't understand! 🤣 Can't wait to see more from.

This film is just bad. Pretty much in every way. They must have either ran out of budget or had to cut run time because this movie is utter nonsense. I kind of, maybe get what they were trying to do, but it's so poorly crafted and executed it's not worth watching. Here are things that suck: 1. The plot doesn't make sense and really has nothing to do with the original Pet Sematery. 2. There's no one to root for and no one to care about. Live or die, I literally do not care what happens to any characters. 3. There's no point and the core premise is so confusing I really don't know why this was made. 4. The final act they just gave up. I don't know why characters are doing what they're doing. Nor do I care. Bad filmmaking 101 - 2.2/10.
