Pet Sematary
Sometimes dead is better! Mary Lambert's film adaptation of Stephen King's bestseller breathes the author's esprit through and through. Which is not surprising, as he also wrote the screenplay. FRIEDHOF DER KUSCHELTIERE has aged unintentionally comically in parts and certainly had its problems back in 1989, as can be seen from the countless criticisms at the time. That said, PET SEMATARY is a lot of fun and offers a few incisive shock moments that stay with you.
The house into which a young family with two children moves is situated between a truly horrifying road with heavy lorry traffic and the edge of the forest, behind which there is an old cemetery for the many animals that have been run over. Father Louis (Dale Midkiff) is a doctor and is soon haunted by the ghost of a roadkill victim. The ghost warns him of a mysterious border of woods in the forest that should not be crossed. But when his daughter Ellie's cat (Blaze Berdahl) is also run over, his neighbour Jud (Fred Gwynne) advises him to bury her right there, behind this copse, in order to give her a new lease of life. It's just a shame that the returning creatures want to get down everyone else's throat...
