Despite not being very stylish, this is an incredibly fun movie, and I am really happy to have taken the time to watch it. It is a short feature that showcases some of the most beloved horror trends of the 80's, and it has a rather funny script as well! Some elements were just strange and amusing (that weird painting in the Goldman house?), which made it remarkable and gave me and my friend endless reasons to talk about the movie for hours after. Thanks, IMS Paulista for choosing this film as their cinema contribution to the 2019 Virada Cultural!

I'm not sure why it took me so long to watch this movie but I'm glad that I have. It's got all the ingredients of a classic 80s horror film including a family moving to a new home, an Indian burial ground, jump scares, blood, gore and a very creepy child.

Not as great as I remember from childhood. Really realize how much the missing plot points from the novel leave choices as questionable in film.

Ooo Jesus, That must have really hurt. Right after the scene where Rachel dies, when Luis wakes up and falls out of bed hitting his head on the desk.

We look for tolerance to images.
The zombie is not scary, it breaks the moment of suspense.
There are some strange effects, but I don't know why we do them.
At the beginning the images were obvious signs of exploiting the woman, showing inappropriat More

The "Creed" family relocate to a rural town in Maine where the father - "Louis" (Dale Midkiff) is to be a local doctor. They don't get off to a great start after the beloved cat of daughter "Ellie" (Blaze Berdahl) gets squashed by a passing vehicle and so it is ceremoniously buried in an ancient gra More

Even if it wasn't any good, Pet Sematary's sort of a must watch given how heavily it's been referenced in the film and television industries since. But it is good, so there's that too.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

And the night when the cold wind blows, No one cares, nobody knows.

The Stephen King novel from which the screenplay was adapted very nearly didn’t see the light of day. It was actually written by King based on a real place and instances during a stay at a rented house. He was never quite happy More
