Since this is a scene in the new “Pet Sematary” movie, everything. Death echoed throughout Stephen King’s 1983 novel and his adapted screenplay for the 1989 film. The latest iteration, now in theaters, follows a similar dreaded path, but the story has been revised to give audiences a fresh shock. There’s still the ominous, dead-raising burial ground in the woods that will upend those hopes. The death of the family cat still pushes the film into creepy places, and the death of a child still instigates the movie’s horrifying final act.
