Didn't technically watch it but I did sit in my hotel room and perfectly remember it frame by frame over a sixteen hour period where I was in immense physical agony. At any moment I could've walked away from what I was doing but I didn't do that. I instead explored the…

- Morgan likedPet Sematary
this movie is so sad and makes you think about your own mortality, it’s kinda scary at certain parts too, i also really appreciated how all the sensitive deaths were (mostly) off-screen, i didn’t appreciate the whole "indian burial ground" thing though, that didn’t age well
Victoria lovedPet SemataryBefore the film, I read a book and this was probably the second book where I cried. It’s sad and scary probably close to the end(at least for me). I liked the movie, but it doesn't have the same feeling as if you read the book, therefore 7/10. I advise everyone to read the book.
ChungiBoi lovedPet SemataryThis movie takes what could be a simple premise and intertwines themes of guilt, denial, and apathy incredibly. On top of that the acting is great (it’s amazing that they found a kid actor that could pull off Gage) and there are several actually good jump scares
- Michael dislikedPet Sematary
Jesus Christ this was bad. The film is filled with terrible writing and the acting from Midkiff and Crosby make me want to gouge my eyeballs out. The child fight at the end may be the dumbest and most dated thing I've ever seen in a film. 3/10
carmina viegas dislikedPet Sematarythere’s no way people sat down and enjoyed this movie
Serenity lovedPet SemataryI truly love this movie and the scenes that show their descent into madness. Although, I feel that If the main character was a little smarter a lot of this could’ve been prevented. A little silly at times TW (may include spoilers) Animal death, child death. Gore, violence

Horror Movie Lover lovedPet SemataryMy family suggested this movie to me and I was not disappointed. I watched this outside through a projector which I feel made the experience even better. This movie made me continuously talk to myself and yell commentary (leave me alone, I share my thoughts when watching TV).
femur guzzla is "meh" onPet Sematarysoemtoimes daehd is behdda!! i like the special effects (esp the end with rachel) but other than that the movie is rather boring i didn't care for the characters, and gage dying was almost sad but then they have that stupid "NOOO" over and over like💀💀 ps love the ramones
Amya B likedPet SemataryDefinitely a cult classic, pretty good, major downside is that the main characters’ actor is a DRAG the movie is about grief which by the way is very well done, but it’s not that he is dealing with grief, he just made some BAD acting choices. Fred Gwynne is lovely

Metacritic
One of the problems is that King usually writes about cliche subjects so well that you don’t notice the hackneyed aspects of his books, and so when all the character detail, precise backgrounding and elaborate plot setting-up mechanisms are pruned away, all you get is a dumb TV movie with characters doing insanely stupid things to prolong the agony.
Kim Newman
Empire
The movie fails mostly because it doesn't trust the audience to do any of the work. What the dialogue doesn't carefully explain or predict is explained or predicted by ominous music and special effects. The movie seems to be playing to itself.
