Sous le soleil de Satan (1987)
A priest stuck in a rural congregation and burdened with his overwrought spirituality, finds purpose in a troubled woman accused of murder.
Audacious, and heavy-going drama that is more theological thesis than a mere story; Depardieu is excellent as the over-sensitive, painfully soul-searching priest, but the puzzling, irritating metaphysical content of the movie might annoy a more secular audience.
Halliwell*: "Austere examination of the nature of religious belief..."
Maltin***: "A very demanding and difficult film, not for all tastes but most rewarding to those who can relate to the subject: the questions, conflicts, and torments of rural priest Depardieu."

Pet Sematary (2019)
Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to rural Maine with their two young children, and soon they discover a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near their new home.
The script takes gracious liberties with Stephen King's original story; the result is definitely no improvement and rather a tired, cliche-ridden horror flick.
