Pet Sematary...one of the best
Stephen King is the master at knowing what makes people feel creepy. I love not only his books, but those movies based on his books that are done well. The latter ones he had more to do with so they tended to be closer to the books.
I agree that Pet Sematary was among the best horror movies of the last 20 or 30 years (I don't try to rank them in order; there are just too many). I haven't seen the sequel. I may someday, but really not that interested.
If you haven't read the book, I urge you to do so; it's not that it's so much better than the movie, but if you know Stephen King, you know that he has a way of writing that gives you insight into what a character might be thinking, and some such things can't be brought out in a movie. Plus, he plays a masterfully mean trick with how he writes Gage's death. Brilliant! :eek:
