spoiler hereinwhat really scar you . killer shark and or maybe ghost try to bring back a message . maybe a chainsaw wield psychopath . maybe . but those fear do not even compare to a horror which people dare not even speak of or consider and that be the death of one own child . pet sematary tap this base and primal adult fear and and then take it to place that most could not bear to explore . i have read comment about this film that include poor acting and character make stupid decision and etc . i disagree . the acting be actually first rate for a film like this . maybe it be impossible for many to imagine the desperation result from such a scenario . but the film event be not only logical and they may be absolutely inevitable if such a scenario be possible . this be the true horror of pet sematary represent it isn not that pet and people come back from the dead a evil killer who hunt with knife and scalpel and it be that anyone who have lose a child could become so desperate a to commit the crime that louis creed do . despite warn and or even past history . the movie take those willing to go with it to the depth of a desperate human heart . the heart of a protector try to make up for not be able to protect . and the result be horrify . in fact and when the film dive into slasher territory near the end and it almost a letdown and although i believe it perfectly logical how it get there . i be a true horror fan and and i contend that this be one of the scary horror film ever make . if you do not think so and see it again after you have child .
