Pros: Fred Gwynne's portrayal of Jud Crandall Cons: Not scary, poorly directed, and poor acting from Midkiff and Crosby
One of the biggest problems Stephen King readers have is that his novels - which blend contemporary American settings with elements of horror and the supernatural - hardly ever make the transition from page to the big screen without losing much of what ...
Pros: Well done in every way Cons: Very disturbing
Louis and Rachel Creed seem to have it all: an idyllic new country house, two precocious children, a frisky family feline, and an avuncular older neighbor. But, they are about to unearth an ancient secret shrouding a heinous, buried evil. A twisting ...
Pros: Some of the filming was good. Cons: not a good adaptation of the novel.

Pros: It's a Stephen King Movie and suspenseful. Cons: Gage gets hit by a Semi-Truck - Some Hard to Handle Moments
Well I just finished watching this movie, and really wasn't planning on writing a review about it, but I couldn't just let this one go. There seems to be a trend going on here in my house this weekend. I guess you could call it Stephen King weekend. ...
Pros: It's a horror classic that serves the chills very much throughout! Cons: At times, it's very depressing.
When I think back when I was little, after all my experience with horror movies(17 years), I have only a handful or so horror movies that really got to me and made me scared to go to sleep. What better movie than Pet Sematary to start with! I was deeply ...
Pros: Spooky Atmosphere, A Scary Movie... Cons: Some Scenes are Pretty Sad...
The Stephen King Write-Off This is my second review for this awesome write-off hosted by TheUnknown285. Well this review is a lot more serious than My other submission IT but I put more personal thoughts and such into this one,...
What could have been a really spooky story has instead turned into a slam-shocker, my term for movies that shock for no reason. One would have expected better since King himself adapted his novel into the screenplay, however he has admitted this was the...
Pros: Great plot, acting, special effects, and a lot more. Cons: A death in the movie.
Pet Sematary Starring Fred Gwayne, Dale Midkiff, and special appearance by Stephen King 1 hour and 43 minutes Rated R Based upon the novel by Stephen King Screenplay by Stephen King Directed by Mary Lambert I didn't knew what ...
Pros: Fred Gwynne rocks Cons: Bark way worse than its bite
Mary Lambert may be a veteran rock video director, but she's of the pre-aesthete MTV generation, back when the form concentrated on the conceptual more than the visual. Her transition to feature films was therefore not of the Michael Bay variety, wherein...
Pros: Great Creepy Atmosphere, Great Acting, Great Story Cons: They Made a Sequel...ugghhh
”Sometimes Death is Better!”
It is a known fact that the books are almost always better than the movies. The movies just cannot grip the same feelings and details that a book can. However a movie can bring some of our favorite...
Pros: Reasonably faithful to the book. Cons: Marginal movie.
"Pet Sematary" is another example of movies (like "Maximum Overdrive" and "Children of the Corn") made from Stephen King's material that didn't come out quite right. Sometimes you can fault the movie makers for...
Pros: Good story(kind of), decent acting Cons: Just too gruesome!
I am a huge Stephen King fan, but I will be the first one to admit that many of his works do not translate well to the screen. In the case of "Pet Sematary," I think that the whole idea of an undead, evil baby eating people was just too...
Pros: Good story line. Actors play their parts well. Cons: Some blood.
I have been reading Stephen King books for many years and they're very few that I don't like. This book was one of his best and the movie was pretty good too.
Although the fact is, the book is always better, this movie was scary and...
Pros: Stephen King, a few good actors. Cons: disturbing, un-entertaining, sick!
I have never read a Stephen King novel before, but iv'e seen most of his films. I actually enjoyed most of them, but Pet Sematary was a nauseating 1 hr and 43 mins!
