Believe it or not, occasionally someone succeeds to adapt Stephen King story in a good movie. First time I saw it, back when it was released, I was ten years old and I couldn't sleep for a very long time. Also, I shuddered at the very thought of cats or graveyards. Till today it stands as one of the most traumatic movie experiences of my life. Almost three decades later I decided to watch it again and I must admit it is pretty much scary even for a forty years old. Mary Lambert nailed King's atmosphere, story is simple but accurately hits primeval fears in us, and acting is good enough for movie to be convincing. Especially strong impression on me was left by Fred Gwynne and little Miko Huges, who stands shoulder to shoulder with legendary Damien from Omen. Interesting fact is that cult song by Ramones "I Don't Wanna Be Buried in a Pet Sematary" was nominated for Razzie Award for Worst Original Song. This is definitely my favorite Ramones song. Anyway, however different our tastes may be, this movie is mandatory for every true horror fan.8/10

"Pet Sematary" is another adaptation of a Stephen King novel. Oddly enough, the cemetery is only incidental to the plot. The real center of the story revolves around an old Mic Mac burial ground located above the pet cemetery in an isolated area.A young family, the Creeds, moves to rural Maine from Chicago. The father, Louis (Dale Midkiff) is a doctor taking up a post at the local hospital (I think). His faithful wife Rachel (Denise Crosby) and their two young children, Ellie (Balze Berdahl) and Gage (Miko Hughes) settle in. They meet their neighbor, the mysterious Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne) who tells them of a "pet semetary" located at the end of a path leading from the Creeds property.The Creed home and that of Crandall are separated by a busy highway over which travel large trucks at high speeds. The "sematary" apparently was established by the local children to bury their pets that were killed on the highway.At work, Louis tends to the injuries of Victor Pascow (Brad Greenquist). The man dies but in the process vows to help Louis through any crisis, a sort of guardian angel. And yes, only Louis is aware of Victor.When Rachel and the kids go to Chicago for Thanksgiving, Their pet cat "Church" is killed. Rather than tell Ellie of the tragedy, Crandall takes Louis to a hidden graveyard once used by the Mic Mac Indians. The grave yard possess magical powers by which a body buried there will rise (rather quickly) from the dead. Louis buries the cat there and lo and behold, the next evening...the cat came back. The rejuvenated pet has become aggressive toward Louis however, he manages to keep his gruesome secret from his family.Now this is where it gets really interesting. One sunny afternoon at a family picnic, little Gage wanders onto the highway and is killed. After a traditional burial, Louis sends his family to Chicago. Louis distraught over his son's death, exhumes his body and despite warnings from Crandall and Pascow, takes the little boy to the Indian graveyard. The little boy comes back to life and................................A lot of blood and gore in this one folks. The make up on the Pascow character is unbelievable. The violence at the film's climax results in much bloodshed. How they got little Miko Hughes (and his dummy double) to do what they do is really amazing. The hanging suicide of washer woman Missy (Susan Blommaert) although gruesome (and well done), adds little to the story line except to provide a venue for Stephen King's cameo.

I enjoy this movie, it is one of the better Stephen King movies. I watched it again tonight. The only thing that is unbelievable is when Louis digs Gage's body up. It is in one piece. I would think if someone that small got hit by a semi going at a high rate of speed, the body would be in several pieces. But despite that, it is a good movie.

Dr. Louis Creed moves his entire family to a remote Maine town where he will be the physician for a local college. Over Thanksgiving, while his wife and children are visiting her parents, his daughter's cat is hit by a truck and killed on the road in front of his house. The road has had a history of taking the lives of beloved pets since the dawn of the automobile age, and there is an actual pet cemetery near their house where local people have interred their dear departed pets, with a child's scribble on a sign marking the place, thus the title "Pet Sematary".Louis' strange neighbor leads him to an ancient Indian burial ground where he is instructed to bury the cat. The next day, the cat appears alive in Louis' garage. Louis thinks he has spared his daughter the trauma of losing her cat. However, the cat's nature has changed. Now the animal delights in tormenting Louis with such gifts as a dead rat while Louis is soaking in the bathtub. You see, while the bodies of the departed return alive, their souls are not those of the original owner. One malicious reincarnated cat can't do much harm, but Louis soon experiences the loss of a human member of his family and he is about to see just how malevolent the forces are that rule the old burial ground.This film was adapted from a story in which the past of Fred Gwynne as the odd neighbor, the Creed housekeeper, and some other background is fleshed out and if it had been somehow included the film might have made more sense, such as explaining the deep the animosity between Louis' inlaws and himself.
