Tarda un poco en arrancar, pero es una película bastante buena, con unos maquillajes muy logrados (el espíritu es la ostia, con lo feo que es y te cae bien xD) y una especie de aura de mal yuyu en la parte final que medio da cague.

7/10 Elliot Goldenthal’s use of a chorus for the opening sets the mood well, and the use of strings towards the end was chilling. The needle drop for the end credits is incredibly odd, though, considering the tone of the film. Unfortunately, “Pet Sematary” found its lead in Dale Midkiff, who gives an extremely flat performance. His droll delivery is even more noticeable when he’s acting across from Fred Gwynne and even the young Blaze Berdahl, who are the standouts of the film. What “Pet Sematary” does a good job of is making the sadness of the Creed family’s situation the true horror of the story. A heavy blanket of grief lies over this film, and the emotional impact of Gage’s death is easily felt. This film’s narrative is indirect, but not directionless. The theme of being unable to let go of the dead hangs over almost every scene, so they all feel related, but the plot doesn’t exactly move like it probably should. In short, Stephen King wrote this screenplay a bit too much like a book, but not enough to ruin the film. Thankfully, the writing focuses up in the third act and sticks the landing with a memorable ending.
