No Hope November - Day 24 - "Pet Semetary"

The past few days we have been focusing on some rather obscure films, so for today's edition of No Hope November we steer our ship back toward the mainstream. A 1989 gem that is based on a Stephen King book, "Pet Semetary." A family relocates from the big city to a small town in Maine. Their new neighbor, played by Herman Munster, shows them a place out behind their house called Pet Semetary. The dad is later told/warned about the realities of Pet Semetary, but he doesn't believe what he hears. It does make an impression on him however. As the story progresses tragedy strikes and the true nature of the Pet Semetary's power is revealed. This is a powerful chronicling of a snowball rolling downhill straight into madness and despair. As you watch you become increasingly aware of a feeling of dread creeping up on you. You can tell what's going to happen but can't look away as the poop hits the proverbial fan. This is a good movie that makes you feel bad. Seek it out.
