And the night when the cold wind blows, No one cares, nobody knows. The Stephen King novel from which the screenplay was adapted very nearly didn’t see the light of day. It was actually written by King based on a real place and instances during a stay at a rented house. He was never quite happy w

"Pet Sematary" boasts a very routine quality on every level and most of the time it seems as though everything connected with this film is strictly on autopilot.
