You should really watch Pet Sematary. In my opinion, it is one of the best Stephen King movies ever made. It features some terrific performances (in fact, I do not even know who do point out because all the acting was excellent). It has a very interesting story, which is very well-directed. Additionally, it has an excellent score. It is an all-around amazing film. If I had to say, then I would say it was my second favorite Stephen King film after The Shining. Anyway, you definitely need to see this one (I am assuming by not rating it that you have not seen it).

I agree! And it's especially a very effective movie because you really feel for the characters, just like when you read the book. I wasn't that old yet when I first read/watched it (around the same time), and I had absolutely no maternal instincts yet at the time, but I could really sense the father's pain in a very disturbing way.

Thanks, Mett and Kan! You know, I've been meaning to see Pet Sematary for a long, long time. Even my older sister told me it was a really good movie. I may just have to check it out tonight on Amazon Prime.

What's especially cool is I know nothing about it. Only thing I know that happens in the movie, is I heard a cat comes back to life. I love seeing movies when I know nothing about them. The film experience goes into another realm when you know nothing about film, don't you think?

In fact, every blue moon, I'll drag a friend to the theatre & pick a film we know nothing about for that extra experience.

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

Pet Sematary (based on 11 ratings) - 3.3
Silver Bullet (based on 11 ratings) - 2.1
The Shining (based on 12 ratings) - 3.8

Kubrick's horror masterpiece stacks up really well in the rankings, while the one based on SK's short story disappoints.

All 3 added to the opening post.
