Pet Sematary Review: Sometimes Stephen King Movies Are Just Decent. Pet Sematary captures the bruality of King's source material, but its attempts to add shocking twists to the original narrative yield mixed results. Overall, "Pet Sematary" is a good horror movie that I'd recommend to those who are fans of either Stephen King or just fans of the genre in general. The acting that Pet Sematary had was pretty good, but needed a little bit of work.
