Creepy Pet Sematary by Stephen King

Stephen King is a pioneer in the horror genre, and has completed many respectable novels and films, and ask any American who he is, they will know.

Pet Sematary could fall into the "cheese" category, until you really start thinking about this movie and its creepy ass elements. The fact that the film was created in 1989 helps highlight the "cheese content" but this is still a film that was way beyond its time. I cannot wait for the release of the modern remake, that is scheduled to shoot in 2013 and will be directed by Alexandre Aja!

Do not allow children under 12 to view this, and adult supervision is suggested for those 12 and up!

I’d like to name a few of the works by Stephen King that are definitely worth reading/seeing, before I continue on the topic of Pet Sematary.

· The Shining A man and his family are left to take care of a haunted resort during a collasal blizzard

· Cujo A diseased dog goes on a rampage

· Misery A woman obsessed with a novelist hits the jack pot when he crashes his car near her house

· Shawshank Redemption A great prision break!

· The Green Mile A man with supernatural powers is wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of two young children

When I first saw this movie I believe I was 10 years old, and it scared the hell out of me. I use to watch it weekly with a school friend and her sister. We’d order a Domino’s pizza and watch it after school. At sleepovers we’d quote things from the movie and scare the crap out of each other! I have such fond memories of my childhood thanks to this classic!!

It’s not the plot itself. It’s not the filming. It’s not the acting. It’s the undertones and the elements.

Where are you going to find another horror movie that has all these elements? You'll be hard pressed that's for sure.
