For such a popular Stephen King adaptation, the only thing shocking about the original "Pet Sematary" is how badly it holds up.

This movie absolutely terrified me as a child. It has pretty much everything that would do that to a young person. Talking corpses, undead creatures, chucky -like toddler murdering people.

This movie was actually the first horror movie I saw as a kid, and scared the living daylight out of me. It resparked my fear of the dark that troubled me for quite some time afterwards. However the thing is that I am not a little kid anymore, and I have seen quite a few horror movies, allthough the are a couple of good creepy moments in this movie, the books scare me a heck of alot more than the special effects. The story is really good and the actors are great too, it's just that the special effects that was state of the arts when this was made are really bad today. If you haven't seen it though, I recommend that you do as I do with everything that Stephen King has touched, after all he has not earned the title the master of horror for nothing.
