Leans Left
Primary
The film's exploration of grief, death, and the horrific consequences of defying natural order through supernatural means is fundamentally apolitical, focusing on universal human experiences and horror tropes rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie demonstrates diversity through the explicit race-swapping of a traditionally white character with a minority actor. However, its narrative primarily focuses on horror themes of grief and the supernatural, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
Victor Pascow, a character depicted as white in Stephen King's novel and the 1989 film, is portrayed by a Black actor in the 2019 adaptation, constituting a race swap.
The film 'Pet Sematary' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is solely centered on the horror elements surrounding the Creed family and the ancient burial ground, leading to a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
All major characters in the 2019 film adaptation, including Louis, Rachel, Ellie, Gage, and Jud, retain the same gender as established in Stephen King's novel and the 1989 film. The plot change regarding which child dies does not involve a gender swap of any character.
