Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: This movie was every bit as perfect as the book, with the exception of the scene with Louis digging up Gage. In the book, this scene took up about 30 pages (literally)and was extremely detailed and eerie. However, in the movie, it took up about 5-10 minutes and seemed like it was just thrown in there without any thought or consideration. This would be a five star movie, with this one tiny detail keeping me from giving it a perfect 5. But, don't get me wrong, in my opinion, Pet Sematary is easily the scariest novel that Stephen King has ever written.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PRETTY SCARY AND CHILLING
Review: THIS IS A SCARY MOVIE WITH SOME CHILLING SCENES LIKE WHEN THE PPL THAT GOT KILLED COME BACK TO LIFE AFTER BEING BURIED IN THE CEMETARY,ITS ENTERTAINING AND RECOMMENED FOR EVEN PPL THAT ARENT HORROR FANS

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This Film Is Very Good But Very Melancholy
Review: What can I say about this movie?It is pretty good and also scary.It does what I think horror should,it focuses on death mans greatest unknown and fear.It shows a person becoming a toy of a cursed land.It is quite depressing,no comedy in this horror movie.It is about a doctor moving to a town with his family.The road by the town has big semis driving down it constantly.Very unsafe for kids who do not yet know their street crossing skills.Not only do they have the road to contend with they have a decrepit pet cemetery in the woods past the house.Past the pet cemetary there is a large Native American Burial Ground.Over the years something happened to change this once holy place to a cursed place.What living things you bury in this comes back to life.Unfortunately they do not at all come back the same.The doctors daughters cat is crossing the street and struck down by a truck.To escape having to see his daughter sad and explaining death to her he burys the cat at the Burial Ground.Soon the cat returns but with eyes that glow more than normal cats eyes and dirty and looking like well something risen from the dead and with a very bad attitude.Soon though things fall to pieces,the doctors son named Gage decides to go do some playing in the street while the family is not watching.With playing in the street not exactly as safe a game for kids as CandyLand he is struck down by a truck.This is one of the most depressing parts.Even for cold and harsh people watching little children die can be the saddest of events.I must say it was tastefully done.The scene did not have alot of gore.In fact the way it was done made it more believable and more horrific than alot of gore could have.You probably can guess what is going to happen.What happens is pretty predicatble but has a twist and is terrifying and ghoulish even if you know what is going to go on because of the way this movie was made.So in short if you like feel good movies this is not for you.If you enjoy the supernatural and horror and cold despair you probably will enjoy it.I do warn you it is quite depressing and it makes you really realize and think about death which alot of people do not like to do.Oh and the scene of the doctors wife when she was still a kid and the ordeal she had with her sister is one of the most terrifying and saddening things I have seen in a horror movie.I gave this movie four stars instead of five because the one fault I see with it is that it could have been longer and could have went into more depth and detail in the story.It is a good movie though especially your first time seeing it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Scary and Disturbing.
Review: The Stephen king book "Pet Sematary" was one of the most horrific, disturbing books that I have ever read and the movie based on the novel is probably one of the most tragic and depressing horror movies ever made. The movie starts out with a young family moving into a new home in rural Maine. An elderly neighbor introduces the family to a nearby "Pet Sematary" where neighborhood children bury their dead pets. Things rapidly go downhill from there. First the family cat is run over and killed by one of the trucks which seem to constantly drive by their home. The neighbor shows the father, Dr. Creed, the "real" pet semetary, an ancient indian burial ground located far back in the woods behind the other pet sematary that has the power to resurect the dead. They bury the cat in the micmac indian burial ground and the next day the cat returns home with a very bad attitude. Later in the story Dr. Creed's young son is killed by a truck. Well, you can probably figure out what happens later in the story. This atmosphere and tone of this movie very dark and creepy. The acting wasn't so great but the premise is chilling. If you knew that you could raise the dead would you do it? And to those who criticize the fact that the father stupidly keeps returning to the burial ground, all I have to say is READ THE BOOK because it explains that the reason that the father continues to bury people there is because he can't help himself. The micmac burial ground is like a magnet to it's chosen victim's (Dr. Creed's) brain, a magnet that becomes more powerful as is causes more tradgedies to occur. Towards the end of the film, the micmac burial ground makes the grief stricken Dr. Creed dig up his son's newly buried corpse so he can bury him again out in the woods, even though he knows deep down that more likely than not the consequences would be horrific. The ressurected boy comes home that night, murders and mutilates his own mother (yikes). This new tradgedy, caused by Dr. Creed himself, makes him go insane and he attempts to ressurect his wife, only to have his wife come back to murder him. Granted, not the most cheerful ending for a movie. All in all, I thought that Pet Sematary was a really scary movie, but it was also rather sad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOD, I WAS SCARED!!!
Review: This movie sent shivers down my spine! I bet anyone can't watch it alone in the night!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: love it!
Review: this movie was a great horror film, but i havent seen the second, and probably never will. i like the story, when two people and two kids move into this house by a pet sematary and when you are buried in this indian burial ground, you come back alive, pratically evil. This story is hard to explain but its not just about pets. So if you like a good horror film, and a laugh too, this is a good film for you!! It does appear on tv alot though, so you shouldnt spend two whole dollars right away to see it. wait awhile, unless you are tottally despearte!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: PUHLEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of the mot terrible movies that I have ever seen. I don't know what Lewis (Dale Midkiff) was thinking when he buried Church the family pet in the Pet Sematary. The neighbor Judd (the late Fred Gwynne)told him not to ever bury a person up there when Lewis asked him about it, he told him sometimes dead is better, apparently Lewis wasn't paying attention. On top of that Lewis buried his son Gage (Miko Hughes) that was tragically killed due to being hit by an 18 wheeler in the Pet Sematary resurrecting this monster because he definitely wasn't the lovable little boy we all saw before the accident. Gage comes back, murders Judd and his mother Lewis' wife. If that wasn't bad enough Lewis still hasn't learned his lesson because he buries his wife in the Pet Sematary, and she comes back and kills him. I'm guessing this is what happens next, she buries him in the Pet Sematary he comes back, they go and get Ellie from her grandparents house when she has been while all of this is taking place, keep in mind that she has saw everything that has happened in her nightmares all thanks to their dead spiritual guide Pascow who also tried to warn Lewis about the Pet Sematary. I guess they will kill Ellie or the grandparents next and bury them there. This movie is so stupid giving it 2 stars was actually being a little too kind. I thought this movie was a complete waste, a crock, and a fluke all together.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disturbing... very cool!
Review: First thing I want to say is, don't give away the movie in your review! You ruin the whole movie for someone. Now to my review:

I've seen this movie about 10 times. I was probably like 7 years old when I first saw it. It's like a classic to me. There's some pretty scary moments and it's just so disturbing and creepy and that's what makes it so cool! It's about some crazy stuff that happens with a pet "sematary" and that's all I'm going to say. King is a great writer. I'm reading the book for the first time now and it is also very good. The movie is very true to the book, of course the book has a lot more detail that wasn't in the movie and I prefer books over movies. Anyway, I think this movie and book are both a must see/read if you are King fan or like horror or just feel like being creeped out.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: FOUND IT KINDA DISTURBING...
Review: I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS STUPID. I KNOW STEPHEN KINGS MOVIES ARE THE BEST BUT THIS WAS VERY DISTRUBING, FIRST YOU KILL A FAMILY PET, THEN THE KIDS DIES AND YOU TRY AND BRING THEM ALL BACK TO LIFE, WITH SOME VERY BAD RESULTS AND THEN YOU KILL OFF THE WIFE AND BRING HER BACK THE SAME WAY. AFTER ALL THE STUFF AND BAD THINGS THAT HAPPENED UP TO THIS POINT WHY OF WHY WOULD YOU CONTINUE TO DO THIS? SORRY NOT ONE OF STEPHEN KINGS FINEST MOVIES.

Rating: 5 stars
