Pet Sematary Reviews

Special Features
Ok, so this is the 2nd re-release of Pet Semetary. I resisted buying the other version, because 1)I didn't think i had enough storage to put it, & 2)there were NO special features. But now that I have bought a new bookshelf/DVD stand, I have much mor eroom in my apartment to put it. Sure this movie isn't an Academy Award winner, & the acting isn't tremendous, but honestly, it's a horror film. Did anybody think it really was gonna be? What it IS is just a fun little gory horror film. However where are the Special Features? Why is this the "Special Collectors Edition?" What makes it any different from the previous release other than the pretty cool cover art?

Pet S**t!
At first, I was a little interested in Pet Sematary as it was a Stephen King film and I really like The Stand and love Salem's Lot. But Pet Sematary is just like a horror spoof. I thought it was a joke on first impression, but the film was actually
supposed to be serious. The first bad thing that I noticed about this film, was the terrible acting. Actors react to stuff in such an unprofessional way. Especially Dale Midkiff
as Louis Creed who looks constapated half the time and that old guy from The Munsters TV show.
The horror in this film is very weak. With cheap costumes and even cheaper make up effects, its like almost watching a series of Goosebumps. Nothing is even remotely scary, suspenceful or tence in this film. If your scared of a little child with a scalpal, then you should be scared of this film. Dale Midkiff's character was terrified of his dead son attacking him with a scalpal. All he had to do was give the little f***er a smack in the face!. Then maybe his head would fall off or something.

The horror elements in this poor film are laughable. Not like The People Under The Stairs where you would laugh WITH the over-the-top antics. That you would more likely laugh AT the OTT acting, make up and SFX in Pet Sematary for being so ridiculous and fake looking.

I gave this film 2 stars as it is slightly watchable and does humor me. Also, I was told that the book is better than the film. If thats the case, then this is a poor book to screen adaptation.
