PET SEMATARY (Dir: Mary Lambert, 1989).
Probably to my detriment I have never read a Stephen King novel, although I have enjoyed many movies based upon his works notably Stand By Me (Rob Reiner, 1986), Misery (Rob Reiner, 1990), Shawskank Redemption (Frank Darabont, 1994) and the recent It (Andy Muschietti, 2017). So I sat down to this, my first viewing of Pet Sematary, with reasonably high expectations.
King’s novel was first published in 1983 to critical and commercial success so a movie adaptation was inevitable. The plot, which concerns the resurrection of dead pets and - whoops!- one or two humans, should have made for a creepy, maybe even darkly humorous horror. Instead we have a movie that feels cheaply made, is both schlocky and hokey and is occasionally unintentionally funny. Herman Munster himself Mr Fred Gwynne is a welcome familiar face and offers easily the best performance from an otherwise no star cast. He and the decent end-title song by a past their prime Ramones are the undoubted highlights of this sorry affair.
To be honest, I am not particularly a fan of the horror genre; gore does nothing for me but I do enjoy a creepy atmosphere. Pet Sematary has its share of gore but unfortunately little atmosphere, unless the atmosphere is that of a made for TV movie. Although critically reviled upon release the movie did spawn a sequel: the largely forgotten Pet Sematary Two (Mary Lambert, 1992). A remake was released in April 2019 and for once, perhaps, a remake is justified as it will almost certainly be an improvement on the original.
Perhaps I am being a little too harsh on a film belonging to a genre of which I am admittedly not fond. I realise this movie has its fans and if you can see something in it that I cannot then fair play to you. Ultimately I just expected more than Pet Sematary was able to deliver.

I wish I had a friend group like them.
Graphic design is my passion and 80’s movies are my vice
I hate that my life is reflecting this quote again.

Warnings: mentions of sexual abuse, child abuse, and trafficking.
I really do have too many ideas in my head and not enough time to write full stories for them all. So here’s another oc I made awhile back. For Criminal Minds. Of course this is again platonic.
This little girl was born in Grants, New Mexico. However at two weeks her mother disappeared and her father moved them to Harbor Springs, Maine to be closer to “friends.”
Her father is in no way a good person.
By age two she was sleeping on the floor in the basement with a series of other children. She was always the youngest and only girl.
Wondering why the other children got taken when new people came around.
Despite the circumstances the boy actually are very protective of the little girl as protective as they can be.
She develops a brother sister relationship with most of the boys.
They can’t protect her forever.
At age three she’s violated for the first time by a pair of her father’s “friends.”
This leads to a more within drawn personality, trust issues, and dissociative behavior amongst other things.
Develops a type of Androphobia. A fear of men.
Being less affectionate and trustful to the boys in the basement though they’ve done nothing wrong.
At age four her father and the guys face some heat for their trafficking ring and decide to get out of dodge.
Amid the chaos another child helps her escape. While she does get far enough to hide in a ditch by the road. The older boy isn’t as lucky.
She’s found by a nice couple and brought into the Police Department.
Complete emotional detachment and dissociative behaviour.
When the department discovers she was one of the trafficked children. Guess who they call to help find the others?
The Behavioural Analysis Unit.
Derek, Spencer, Rossi being the team tasked with investigating the area you were found.
First meeting J.J. as the Hotch suspects the child would be more open to an interview done by her.
She’s not here for it. She just sits in her chair.
Derek, Spencer, Rossi don’t find much, however they find the other child’s hoodie with a name on the tag. ‘Daniel’.
They return to the department to regroup and rethink their approach.
Hotch asks Spence for his opinion on the little girl.
When Spence meets the child for the first time he recognises her stance, and behaviour as dissociative.
He gets some ice cubes.
The child slowly comes back too, immediately bursting in to tears in response to her proximity to Spencer and Hotch.
She attaches herself to J.J., however she still refuses to speak.
Coloring pictures that unintentionally help with case.
Being curious about the man who gave her ice cubes.
