Pet Sematary (1989) Revisited – Horror Movie Review

It’s time for a new episode of our Revisited video series, and with this one we’re looking back at a film that been disturbing and terrifying viewers for over thirty years now. It’s the 1989 Stephen King adaptation Pet Sematary (watch it HERE), and you can find out what we had to say about it by checking out the video embedded above!

Based on King’s 1983 novel, Pet Sematary was directed by Mary Lambert from a screenplay King wrote himself. The film has the following synopsis:

Doctor Louis Creed moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall. After the Creeds’ cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis’ son, Gage, dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy’s body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis’ visions of a deceased patient.

Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwynne, Denise Crosby, Miko Hughes, Blaze Berdahl, Beau Berdahl, Brad Greenquist, Michael Lombard, Susan Blommaert, and Andrew Hubatsek star.
