Review of Pet Sematary (1989) by Lisa R — 05 Oct 2009

Badly acted and shallow, but creepy as hell! Louis discovers a strange Indian burial ground that brings the dead back to life. After successfully raising his daughter's cat from the dead, he asks his neighbour if someone ever buried a person at the site.

You can probably guess how it goes from there. While the film's characters stay flat and have little interesting to say, it does a very good job at giving you goose bumps with more than just cheap scares.

There's something very unnerving about animals coming back to life. The background of the burial site and its sinister power remain vague, which adds a lot of mystery. Overall a decent horror movie, not as over the top ridiculous as most Stephen King stories.
