minor spoilerunderrated little stephen king shocker . it not perfect and by any stretch of the imagination even if the limp performance of dale midkiff and denise crosby be good and there would still be the mismanaged mystical story element to contend with . the old micmac burial ground and rachel terminally ill sister and and the jacob marley an victor pascow never really come together into anything coherent and and the film in place feel confuse and overstuff . but few horror movie really be perfect and and what this one may lack in other area it make up for in it willingness to shock . ` pet sematary may actually be one of the cruel horror film in recent memory and with it murderous zombie baby and it insanely insensitive portrayal of zelda . it politically incorrect and it tasteless and it gratuitous and yet it make u squirm with revulsion in a way afer horror movie never can . add to that one of fred gwynne best performance and mary lambert witty direction and and you have an intensely satisfying scary movie even with the hokey end . highly recommend for genre fan . 7 . 5 out of 10 .
