Faith is a great thing, and really religious people would like us to believe that faith and knowing are the same thing, but I don’t believe that myself. Because there are too many different ideas on the subject. What we know is this: When we die, one of two things happens. Either our souls and thoughts somehow survive the experience of dying or they don’t. If they do, that opens up every possibility you could think of. If they don’t, it’s just blotto. The end.
-Stephen King, Pet Semetary
Pet Sematary (sometimes referred to as Stephen King’s Pet Sematary) is a 1989 American supernatural horror film and the first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1983 novel of the same name. Directed by Mary Lambert and written by King, it stars Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Blaze Berdahl, Fred Gwynne, and Miko Hughes as Gage Creed. The title is a sensational spelling of “pet cemetery”.
Yo, @BuckarooBanzai! I found the path to the place I was talking about. I’m gonna go take care of your cats and fix everything. I’m really sorry man - I was wondering why I got a microchip stuck in my teeth.
You know, I actually really like this movie. King usually gets horrible adaptations. This one isn’t the most faithful to the book, but the cast made it work well anyway. That kid was creepy as fuck, and old Fred Gwynne just killed it. Add in the ramones song, and you’ve got a winner.
Totally bro - the direction is great, the shots are spot on, and the supporting cast does a bang-up job. Also has Tasha Yarr hangin’ out as a housewife before her Enterprise days (love me some Trek when munchin’ on mule deer).
Oh no no no no no no. BAD SASQUATCH! NO NECROMANCY.
I’ve got enough troubles with the Overlook, and now you open up this gate the next night? You’re gonna be wearing the cone for a month once I get my hands on you.
Everyone, please do NOT adopt any strays you see roaming around until @hotrod_jesus has a chance to re-sanctify everything.
