Pet Sematary

CriticsCritics: 48
AudienceAudience: 6.4

After moving to a rural town, a doctor and his family face grief when their cat is killed on the nearby road. A friendly neighbor introduces the doctor to a mysterious burial ground with unsettling restorative powers, forcing him to confront the limits of love, loss, and rational judgment.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like atmospheric, grief-centered horror with unsettling ideas and 1980s genre style; Not for you if dated effects, uneven acting, or bleak family tragedy are turnoffs.
