Pet Sematary III (2025)
“The ground is sour… again.”
Osgood Perkins brings fresh terror to Stephen King’s classic tale in Pet Sematary III, starring Patrick Wilson as a man who inherits more than just property in Ludlow, Maine. The cursed soil returns, darker and more ancient than ever.
Rather than relying on gore, Perkins leans into atmosphere and dread, delivering a slow, unsettling burn. Wilson’s performance grounds the story, portraying a man unraveling as the line between grief and madness fades.
New layers of mythology, eerie visuals, and a chilling score help this third entry feel creepy and mature, even if the pacing occasionally lags.
Verdict: ★★★★☆ – Smart, stylish, and spooky. A worthy continuation that digs deeper into the horror beneath our feet.
