Pet Sematary: Bloodlines might be a prequel to 2019's Pet Sematary remake, but the Stephen King movie leaves a major plot hole open despite this.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary While Pet Sematary: Bloodlines was a prequel to 2019’s Pet Sematary remake, the Stephen King spinoff failed to answer that movie’s biggest mystery. The Pet Sematary franchise has not been author Stephen King’s most successful set of adaptations. Although director Mary Lambert’s original 1989 movie Pet Sematary is now seen as a cult classic, the adaptation received mixed reviews upon release.
The creators of the prequel Pet Sematary: Bloodlines ignored Jud’s advice that sometimes dead is better when they revived the series once again in 2023. Pet Sematary: Bloodlines earned reviews that were as bad as its predecessor, with most critics complaining that the prequel wasted the interesting elements of its characters on a predictable plot. However, this was not the biggest problem with the prequel.
Pet Sematary: Bloodlines Doesn't Reveal How Norma Died Before The 2019 Remake When the remake didn’t reveal when or how Jud’s wife Norma died, it seemed like a prequel that focused on a younger version of Jud would inevitably address this. Both the original 1989 movie and King’s 1983 book had Norma die of an illness after the story began, but 2019’s disastrous Pet Sematary remake had her die sometime before this from an unspecified fate.
Pet Sematary: Bloodlines Makes Norma A Much More Tragic Character There is a deleted scene from Pet Seminary’s 2019 remake that reveals Jud did bury Norma in the cemetery after she died, reanimating her before he had to kill her again. Given all she went through in Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, it seems pretty absurd that Jud would have put her through that ordeal after death.
