A true-blue bruise of a horror flick, packed with unsettling images, shocking demises, and a wonderfully apt sense of macabre humor.
Pet Sematary is a well rounded and truly frightening piece that given the right conditions can end up scaring the **** out of you.

A ghost, a zombie cat, a murderous toddler, and Herman Munster... What's not to love?

Another awful Stephen King adaption.

A brilliantly creepy horror movie, based on a King story. It's one of those stories where you learn that you should be careful what you wish for, and that you when someone dies, they should stay that way. It's more than just another zombie movie, I love it, and I highly recommend it.
