Dave Watkins ventures into Stephen King’s unsettling world of Pet Sematary, ranking all four films in the horror franchise from worst to best. From the 1989 original and its 1992 sequel to the 2019 remake and Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, Dave examines the performances, atmosphere, storytelling, and surprising strengths of each installment. Along the way, he discusses the films’ Blu-ray and 4K UHD releases, including Scream Factory’s collector’s edition of Pet Sematary Two and the director-supervised 4K restoration of the original. With personal reflections, franchise comparisons, and a few unexpected favorites, Dave explores which journeys beyond the burial ground are worth revisiting.
