Fuck you Trey Parker for making me consistently laugh everytime I watch this film now. This is still in my top 5 favorite horror films.

I have seen this movie more times than I can keep track, tonight we decided to show my brother-in-law Pet Sematary because he had never seen it before. It was tonight, while watching it that I realized just how bad this movie is.

Often times nostalgia gives you these good feelings and clouds your judgement when it comes to seeing a movie for what it really is, unfortunately, nostalgia isn't helping Pet Sematary any longer. This movie isn't that terrible but the acting surely is horrible. It was really scary the first few times I watched this in the early 1990s but I was also pretty young then.

The way Ellie cries is like nails on a chalkboard for me. It never bothered me much before but now it's just horrendous. Everyone in the film is just really terrible.

What a bummer.

This movie was one of my favorite horror movies growing up, and I still really enjoy it. It's not a perfect film, but it still holds up in my book. The casting is spotty, I like Lieutenant Tasha Yar and Herman Munster, but I'm not a fan of the Dad and little girl. It's still creepy as shit, and there's a lot of arm hair raising moment. I also enjoyed the practical effects, the blood and gore scenes were well done. It's one of those films where you'll question a lot of things, like why would Herman Munster take the dad to the graveyard knowing what happens after the dead come back, and why wouldn't these people just throw up a speed limit sign, but I guess then we wouldn't have a movie now would we.

Let me start by saying that I think this film is terribly underrated (really Rotten Tomatoes, 50 percent?). This is one of the best films I have watched this month and one of the scariest films I have watched in a very long time. The acting, the writing, the direction; I loved almost everything about this. And God, that final shot is amazing!

Watch out for that road! Zelda still creeps me out. One of my favorite horror films.

Well I won't be getting a pet anytime soon.....or having a child.

One of the most scary movies I have ever watched...

Pet Sematary, as a book, is SUPER creepy. As a movie, it's only maybe a little creepy. In terms of the storyline, it is actually pretty close (although it feels a bit rushed) but its missing heart. Part of this may be the pretty terrible acting from the all important lead character. The final part of the movie and the child actors keep the movie from dipping below the 3 Star mark, but I'd recommend reading the book instead of watching the movie.

Just not very good.

Un clasicazo que me encantó desde que la vi de peque. Loca del coño como ella sola teniendo a Stephen King de por medio pero con una trama bastante coherente que desemboca en un enorme final con terror real, del que se siente, del conectado a nuestra vida diaria: La muerte (es tu regalo).

Amo la novela, es mi favorita de Stephen King. La película, sin embargo...

I thought the movie was just ok, but I have to admit there were some genuinely creepy moments in this film. The cat was creepy, the kid was creepy, and the freaking sister, man.

This film had a chance to be a little special. A good opening tells you where most of the film will go and introduces you to Fred Gwynne as Jud Crandall who gets everything moving.

Once the cat dies and is resurrected things start to pick up, but then quickly turn silly. The bad acting all around does the film no favors.

Dale Midkiff has to take most of the blame here. He does fine with the first half of the film, but we need to see his descent into madness in the second half to make it work and he can only manage his base character with a touch of various emotions and therefore the actions around him just seem goofy.

It's too bad, the ideas are here for something special.

A bit disappointing, the cat was surely the best thing.
