Summary
A review of the 2023 streaming prequel "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines" to the 2019 remake of Stephen King's novel. The reviewer finds the film starts relatively OK with a decent young cast and genre support from actors like David Duchovny, Pam Grier, and Samantha Mathis, but criticizes it for falling apart in an incoherent final act.
