Pet Sematary , though a nice 80's Horror movie, with a nice Director and atmosphere, IS a copy of the Italian movie ZEDER by Pupi Avati. It's clear that Stephen King has copied almost all the ideas from this director (the movie Zeder was made before King wrote the book)

The cat, the ground, everything was copied, this is a case of plagiary , but, being Stephen Kind a famous American writer , it's totally normal that he can get away with this , it's obviously due to the huge difference between this kind of Italians movies with no -budget (and in part, it's crap itself ... ) but the original idea, I repeat it, it's Italian director Avati

Let the world know

This is a movie with a nice story, but I've never seen De Niro's wonderful acting totally wasted as in this movie; his performance is good, if he acts to render a shy, dumb, introvert cop/detective that is somewhat involved in a small-mafia situation, but , to be honest, people want to see him cool, outgoing, self-confident..

It's not the role for him, definitely.

Bill Murray fits a little bit better, but it appears unpleasant, most of the time ...

Uma Thurman has the best character, and as a whole, I'd say that the movie is worth a view, but it will seldom make you laugh ...

This movie has only one thing that is not so bad : the photography.

Those blend colors are decent and certainly represent the director's attempt to re-create a 70s atmosphere; but the rest is terrible...

Like someone else already said, this is a kind of another remake of the original .... but : 1- it lacks of that surreal, visionary, insane atmosphere 2- The beginning ? It really doesn't show the developing of madness in the family, but it's , like I told , a baaaad copy of TCM 3- Use of violence and gore, in a New Hollywood- "money maker" -fast cash-way If this movie attracts so many people, well, it's a clear sign that the whole western culture is descending at the lowest level; gimme back the 70's . the 80s , even the 60s...but ...

modern "horror" ... bah
