“Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” (** out of four) was a tired prequel to the Stephen King horror series set in 1969 about a young Jud Crandall (Jackson White) who aspires to leave his dead-end hometown of Ludlow, Maine but soon uncovers dark family secrets that lead to (yawn) animals rising from the dead and all Hell breaking loose. Again. Stylish direction from Lindsey Anderson Beer and some scares can’t pump much life into such stale material. The moody and seriously underrated “Pet Sematary II” remains the only worthiness of the lot. As they said in the original- sometimes dead really is better.
