Rating: Summary: Pet Sematary (1989) Review: If you are looking for a scary flick, this is the right one for you. This film scared the hell out of me like you wouldn't believe. Some people disagree with me, but they don't know jack. When this movie first came out, I was only four years old and the only I part I remember scaring me at the time was the end where Rachel comes back and kills Louis. I remember crying to my parents and asking them if she was going to come and kill me. During the summer of 2000, me being 15 years old at the time, I decided to rent it because it had been 11 years since I had last seen it. I watched late that night. That was one of the biggest mistakes I had ever made. I was scared as all hell. The part that scared me the most was Rachel's sister, Zelda. That broad gave me nightmares not to be believed. Literally. I will never watch this at night by myself again. I can watch during the day. If I watch it night, I'm okay if I'm with somebody, but never by myself at night. Dale Midkiff was outstanding in the role of LOUIS CREED. Denise Crosby, looking sexy as ever, was really good in the role of RACHEL CREED. Fred Gwyne, good ole Herman Munster, was really great in the role of JUDD CRANDELL, the sweet, elderly neighbor. Miko Hughes, whose film career debuts here, was adorable in the role of Louis and Rachel's son GAGE. I do not know who played the role of ELLIE CREED, Louis and Rachel's daughter, but the character made me want to smack her across the face about 25 times. This is a movie that will have you scared out of your wits. It's a movie that will take you to hell and back. If you're wise, you will watch it with all the lights on in the house and in your mind.
Rating: Summary: Don't Ever Bury Your Elders on a Indian Burial Ground!! Review: In this creepy 1989 horror pic based on Stephen King's novel, a new family named the Creeds are about to get to know the word Death! This is a very scary movie; filled with terror and enough gore to please anybody, I'm still impressed and scared about this movie even to this day. Lewis Creed(Dale Midkiff)learns about a Indian burial ground by a elderly neighbor, Fred Gwynne, after his family cat dies. Little does he know that the burial ground is actually "where the dead rise." The cat does come back but has a side effect. It's EVIL! Later during a picnic, Lewis' toddler son Cage is accidently runed over by a semi-truck. Lewis makes the sickest decision by burying his son... you know where! Then all hell ensues! That's not the only scary thing about this film. There are some other demented scenes including the strange death of man with red shorts who seems to haunt, or help, Lewis and the Creeds. The wife also has a weird past with her sick sister whose body seems twist and turn like a pretzel! I don't mean to spoil, but nearly every Creed dies in the movie(Daughter lives) and Herman Munster, er, Fred Gwynne dies in the hands of Cage, the little Zombie boy. It's just a sick and complexed film. It's great. "Pet Sematary 2" is not so great.

Rating: Summary: Classic King Review: This is a veary well done movie worth seeing in my opinion but its kind of cheesy in places and the ending sucks the reason I gave it 3 stars is the fact that all the charecter's die at the end and the acting is pritty bad but all in all a good film but its a better book other Stephen King movies that are better are Christine,Maximum Overdrive,Carrie and Dream Catcher anyway all in all a real good horror film
Rating: Summary: True, classic horror! Review: They just don't make horror films like they used to anymore! Nowadays, the entire horror genre has turned into nothing but slasher flicks. But if you want to be VERY scared and disturbed, rent PET SEMATARY on a dark and stormy night. I assure you, you won't be disappointed! It's about the Creed family, who have just moved to Ludlow, Maine and to their beautiful new home. On their first day of arrival, their kindly old neighbor Jud Crandall comes over and introduces himself after he saves Gage, their youngest son, from getting hit by a truck. Jud talks of a path behind their house, which he says leads to a pet "sematary." Even though Jud knows there is something else beyond the pet "sematary," he does not show it to them. But, he does show it to Louis when his daughter's cat get run over in the road by a truck. It's a Native American Burial Ground that brings the dead back to life. After buring the cat there, Louis is amazed to see him alive and kickin' the next day, and also stinking of an unearthly stench. Later, Jud informs Louis that the Burial Ground is evil, and that what you bury there isn't what comes back to you. What comes back to you is pure evil in the form of the thing you buried. After a horrible accident involving Gage, Louis buries him in the Burial Ground with horrowing results... You'll be scared out of your skin when you see PET SEMATARY! It's a classic Stephen King film, so buy it now!
Rating: Summary: Movie pales in comparison to the book Review: I couldn't say it any better, this movie simply pales in comparison w/ the book.......i first saw this movie back in 1990- when i was like 10 years old, at the time i thought it was the best horror movie ever made.......well i grew up a little took a liking into mr. king's writing and picked up the book and finished it in 3 days........i was anxiously waiting to rent the movie (i only saw it that one time prior to reading the book)....and was disappointed. Aside from the plot - the acting was abysmal - i mean cmon DALE MIDKIFF???? DALE WHO??? he was so unemotional ......and that little ellie character was so annoying.........only halfway decent acting came from fred gwynne aka jud crandall - his performance was nothing short of a decent B actor ----- i must say however that if i had to pick a stephen king movie to watch it would be this one........for the simple reason that every other movie that he participated in was absolutely a waste of time......and money for that matter.
Rating: Summary: Doesn't do the book justice! Review: This was an amazing tale by master story-teller Stephen King but the video does not do the book justice. I preferred reading the book and using my imagination to fill in the faces and places. The movie wavered so far from the book in my mind that I only remember the story as I read it, not saw it.
Rating: Summary: Nail biting Review: Pet Sematary is a very scary movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. It is about a family who moves into a house that was built near a mysterious Indian burial ground with the powers of resurrection. But what the family doesn't know, is that what comes back from the dead won't be the same. They do not come back as the same person, but they come back evil. Based on the novel by the awesome author Stephen King, Pet Sematary is one of the best horror films, because it delivers you with goose bumps and a horribly great time. The suspense and thrill of it should stay with you for a while. And now that I have seen the movie and understand it, (if there were such thing as the burial ground) I might as well believe that "sometimes dead is better."
Rating: Summary: suspenseful, but confusing Review: This movie would be very confusing for someone who never read the book. The movie is choppy an doesn't quite explain everything about the story. The acting was not very convincing. On the good side, the movie was suspenceful and scary. All and all, you should read the book first and watch the movie for laughs afterward.
Rating: Summary: King is the King Review: Stephen King may be not only the ultimate horror writer but also the ultimate story teller of our time. This is the best King, screen adaptaion of all. If the demise/rebirth of little Gage doesnt give you nightmares i dont know what will. My wife leaves the room when the tanker starts rolling. "Sometimes dead is better". Widescreen and great picture quality along with the 5.1 Surround make a great, terrifying experience.
