PET SEMATARY (1989). Even if it's a variation on "The Monkey's Paw", one of my favorite King books. The movie has potential and some really good scenes, especially>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER ALERT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> where Gage is killed...found this incredibly hard hitting and very difficult to watch, especially if you have a little one.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Some decent grue too, but just found the whole Creed family annoying (the whiney Mother/Daughter combo and the endlessly pratfalling Dad) and some different actors may have helped. But kudos for casting Fred Gwynne, a perfect choice for Jud Crandall. Plenty of potential, but still find this a misfire that really could have been better. **1/2
