stephen king adaptation ( script by king himself ) in which a young family and newcomer to rural maine and find out about the pet cemetery close to their home . the father ( dale midkiff ) then find out about the micmac burial ground beyond the pet cemetery that have power of resurrection only of course anything bury there come back not quite right . below average horror picture start out clumsy and insulting and and inept and and continue that way for a while and with the absolute bad element be midkiff worthless performance . it get a little well toward the end and with genuinely disturb finale . in point of fact and the whole movie be really disturbing and which be why i can not completely dismiss it at least it have something to make it memorable . decent support performance by fred gwynne and a the wise old age neighbor and and brad greenquist and a the disfigured spirit victor pascow be not enough to really redeem film . king have his usual cameo a the minister . follow by a sequel also direct by mary lambert ( be it any wonder that she have no mainstream film work since . ) . 4/10 .
