Pet Sematary: Bloodlines

"Sometimes dead is better, and that's a lesson that Pet Sematary: Bloodlines probably should've taken to heart."

"Bloodlines could’ve been something, if only it had lived."

"A prequel wanted by few and needed by none."

"Beer shows filmmaking promise, but it’s time to bury this Stephen King franchise for good."

"This zombie-fied horror franchise should've stayed dead."

"Desperately latches onto the goodwill of a familiar title but has nothing meaningful to add."

"A serviceable prequel."

"Content to coast by on familiar simplicity to introduce a series of sinister encounters and violence."

"Not every tale suggests a need for more backstory, and Pet Sematary needs absolutely none."

"Not even the jump scares work."

"A reasonably solid October-timed diversion."

"It struggles to justify its existence."

"Bloodlines owes a lot of its eeriness to the setting."
