The film stars Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwynne, Denise Crosby & Miko Hughes! Film score written by Elliot Goldenthal & also featuring music by the amazing RAMONES!

Remember liking the book when it came out but I liked a lot of things when I was 18. At some pt you think, "Schmuck! Buy a fence!" and it's over.

neutral · AI labelView post →Pet Sematary benefits from having a core family unit giving uncharismatic performances with zero chemistry aside from the cute toddler that gets obliterated by a truck and later murders the best character in the film. Otherwise it might be sad

"RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3 is basically PET SEMATARY for Gen X teens with septum piercings, and that is a beautiful thing to be." medium.com/@nbrehmer/re...
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, so every batch can't be bangers. Rough few days of viewing aside from the super trashy and fun PET SEMATARY 2. Curiously subdued Kinski, sub-par DePalma, and crank ass giant monster snoozefest. #Letterboxd #LastFourWatched #HorrorSky #MovieSky #FilmSky #LetterboxdFriday

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ Pet Sematary (1983) by Stephen King and adapted in 1989/2019. The ‘89 version is regarded as the more faithful adaptation. Some key differences include the cat Church displaying a range of moods in the novel rather overt hostility as in the film. 🐈⬛🪦🙀 #booksky #filmsky #horrorsky

positive · AI labelView post →The thing is, for all his ability to write great horror, adapting King's horror novels for film turns out to be incredibly hard. Aside from Carrie, The Shining, Pet Sematary, It: Chapter One, and maybe 1-2 I'm forgetting, most adaptations of his straight horror films are pretty bad.

negative · AI labelView post →Hey ho let's go - Pet Sematary by Stephen King (1983) Review. Listened to the audiobook version narrated beautifully by Michael C. Hall, this is the first Stephen King book I have listened to and the first by this narrator. I don't even know where I'm going to rank this book in the Stephen King canon but I know that the trademark touch of horror that leaps out of the page and whispers and settles into you is in this book. More scary and human than Misery, it does not compare to the freak of IT…

neutral · AI labelView post →it's actually extremely funny to me that the pet cemetery from the movie Pet Sematary is NOT the cemetery that brings you back to life, that's the MicMac Burial Ground which no pets are buried in so it's not really a killer animal movie aside from the cat

Instead, it's a darkly funny kids horror with nods to PET SEMATARY, JURASSIC PARK & ARACHNOPHOBIA and more than a little DNA from 1980s Joe Dante and Steven Spielberg films.
