When Louis had inject Gage with the lethal needle and Gage cried, my heart started breaking. When Gage cried out "No fair", I was just an emotional mess.😭. This is the worst for any caring parent to do, to bury their kids, it's not natural.
There is a theory that his daughter actually has the "Shining" and that´s why she can see Pascow in her dreams. Also the backstory for Pet Sematary has the Wendigo as the villain behind the whole mess. Great reaction vid as always.
I like the idea that people in nearly every book of Steven King has the shining. Carrie, Charlie, Jonny Smith, John Coffey just to name a few of the obvious ones.
Stephen King seems to have an interest in psychic powers which kind of take the place of "witches and magic" in his world. As most humans with strange abilities are psychics in his books. Also they always seem to be a counterweight to the supernatural. In a few of his books, human psychics always serve as either someone there to help the protagonists or as standing in direct opposition to the larger supernatural threat. This is the case in The Stand, The Shining(obviously), and a few others. I wouldn't be surprised if the Losers Club from It all had the "shining" and that is what drew them together, as they all felt drawn to each other on a subconscious level. Maybe this is also why the Turtle chose them to combat It. The Losers having a bit of the shinning could have served to allow the Turtle to work through them and kill It. Anyways, just my two cents, would like more SK books and shows which focus on characters blessed with the ability to shine.
This movie scared the s**t out of me when I first saw it as a little kid after it first came out.... Then I read the book and didn't sleep properly for half a year.
Fred Gwynne ( Jud) is one of my favorite and very underrated actors. He is fantastic in a movie called My Cousin Vinny, definitely worth a watch and his most famous role as Herman Munster on the TV show The Munsters from the 60's
Thanks, Paul you saved me writing that information. I wholeheartedly agree. I would add this for Kamilla: Please, please, please react to MY COUSIN VINNY It's a great comedy.
It was hilarious how much Victor Pascow and Zelda scared you. Honestly first time I saw this Zelda really freaked me out too. And as someone else mentioned, that was Stephen King himself presiding over Missy's burial! Major kudos to the little kid playing Gage too, great performance for such a young age
Pascow reminds me of the friend in American Werewolf In London. I wonder if he was an inspiration when they made this. Ghost showing up with his brain exposed, warning him about supernatural things.
When at the end the father brings back the memories of his son and then gives him the lethal injection, is one of the saddest moments I have ever seen in a horror movie.
The part of the book when he's walking towards the cemetary and feeling the evil behind his back is the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. Nothing else comes even close.
According to Stephen King, this was the hardest book for him to write since it made him examine what would happen if he lost a child. Lewis Creed's grief in the book goes into much more detail, like his hair turning white due to the mental strain.
You're not alone. I first saw this in my teens after reading the book, and 30 years later, the Zelda scenes, especially the last one still puts shivers up my spine, and makes me scan the dark corners of rooms for her. Few movies ever did that to me like that. Gah!
Yesterday I met Miko Hughes. What can I say? He’s an awesome, humble, sometimes quiet-shy-reserved….but totally cool. Him and I are only 3 years apart in age, so we had a little bro bonding session about memories. Since he told me he has trouble remembering everything for Pet Semetary, I brought up remembering my great grandmother, who later died when I was 1 1/2, 2 months shy of two. It was such a deep, heartfelt conversation between us (guess bc I wasn’t asking him stuff like an avid fan; do you remember etc etc? How could he? He was like f***** 2-3) I got the glimpse of a wonderful man; we both compared memories to pictures, or film reels half hazardly cut--you’re left to fill in the blanks. Anyway, it was an awesome experience. Asked him about Kindergarten cop, got pictures, humorously signed a still from Pet Semetary the Zombie baby holding the scalpel: “To my friend -- Now I want to play with you” A memory I’ll always treasure. Thank you Miko, and love your reaction @Centane
No movie has ever unsettled me more than this movie. I have watched loads of horror movies. I've watched the exorcist, 28 days later, I've even seen come and see. This movies is above all of them and I don't know why. It terrifies me.
One fact it´s that the old man (Jud) was played by Fred Gwynne, who also played Herman Munster in the Munsters (Gwynne size was 6´5´) . There is also a cameo of Stephen King, who wrote this book, (the priest in the film).
The fact that you read first and watch second is awesome. As it should be with all King's works. PMSL: "DON'T LAUGH! THAT'S SO CREEPY." Yeah, that and how he says "play wiff yoooooooou!" Chills to this day.
I've seen this probably 50 times and it still freaks me out. Eliot Goldenthal the composer is a genius at creepy music and his use of choir's always send chills up the spine.
I went with my siblings to see this in theaters when I was 10. By this time I was already into horror movies, but this one scared the shit out of to the point that I wanted to leave. And it’s been a favorite ever since...
Well...back then it was a "little bit different" for me. My sister her bff and me watched it at the cinema and when the scene with Cage and the Truck happened....i start to laugh completely hysterical......Needles to say everyone was pi**ed. Oh sweet memories.....
the man who played mr. crandall , played the part of herman munster , in the 1960`s tv show the munsters , he lived just a few miles from where I live now ! he was a really nice person !
On 4/8/94 was n between gigs w/ my band & we headed dwn 2 Atlanta 2 c the Ramones when non-stop Nirvana block came on radio & heard they found Kurt Cobain's body. That night the usually quiet Joey Ramone dedicated "Pet Sematary"(theme song 4 movie) 2 Cobain. Was still 22 when had that "Where were u when the world stopped turning?" moment. A yr & 1/2 later my best friend/drummer died n a car crash. Just here 2 say, as f**ked as things may seem, NEVER FORGET, THESE R THE DAYS!!! 🌞 RIP BROS!!! ✌ ❤ 🚬
Fred Gwynne was Such a Great actor. Loved Him as Herman Munster and to Me, "My Cousin Vinny" wouldn't have been Nearly as great if He wasn't in it.. He was Awesome as the judge.
To think that today Gage is 36 years old, the boy from The Shining, 49 years old, and John Connor from Terminator 2, 45 years old, how fast children of the cinema grow.
There are two Stephen King movies, that I've read the books of, that have scenes that give me so much dread because I know something bad is about to happen. The kite flying scene in Pet Sematary, and the scene where Carrie White and Tommy Ross are announced prom king and queen in Carrie. I feel so much dread in those two happy scenes because of the terrible things that happen after they pass.
Pascow and Zelda are my two favorite characters in this movie. In the book a Wendigo cursed the burial ground. That is why it brings people back from the dead. The band that sang the song from this movie is The Ramones.
i saw this in the theaters when i was 16 and read the book a couple of years later when i was in the military, one of my favorite movies, and ive always loved stephen kings style of writing
The novel is a superior horror work (BTW that's Stephen King playing the minister in the cemetery funeral scene) because it's supremely eerie in its events while keeping a better grounded sense of human concerns with life, death and obsession. The movie is a B movie at best with a few good moments but being explicitly gory and leaving nothing to the imagination IMO.
FUN FACT: The red semi truck used in this movie was new. After the end of the movie they just left it parked in the woods. It is still sitting there. It was brand new with almost no miles. Now it probably has a lot wrong with it from sitting in the woods for 35 years. You can see it in Pet Sematary Filming Locations videos.
I was a Stephen King addict from the age of twelve into my teens. I had seen this movie many times as a young kid, and it terrified me. I'm convinced it's what got me to read King's books initially. It was interesting reading the book, knowing the movie so well. I'm disappointed we may never get a decent "Tommyknockers" film. That is my favourite novel by Stephen King, and has a protagonist that I identified with entirely. Thanks for reacting to this one.
I saw this movie with my girlfriend in a very small Southern California town when it came out. During one of the scary parts of the movie, a 3.1 earthquake struck directly beneath this town and Werribee jumped up and talk chore the exits as ceiling tiles fell. Yeah....I'll never forget this movie. Ironically, I was in the same theater 25 years later and the same thing happened with a different movie.
This was the first Stephen King novel, which I read in the latter half of seventh grade (8th year of primary education). The book is hard to put down and I got into trouble with my middle school teachers for reading it during class
I'm wondering if you are going to watch the sequel, because I remember that freaked me out more that the first one as a kid, it it also kinda fun in a way, because of the over the top acting by the "dead"
When I watched it back then I had a morning paper route and had to pass a forrest and the morning after I watched the movie if was foggy and a cat meowed within the forrest - I raced like crazy :D - Zelda was scary too.
I wonder if Pascow calling Louis Doc is a reference to The Shining? I mean I know Louis is a doctor technically, but still Danny Torrence is called Doc on the shining and the fact that Ellie has premonitions (which is most likely her having the shining) can’t be a coincidence
I watched this movie as well as the movie Candyman at a very young age in the early 90s. Let's just say: "Of all the things you choose in life, you don't get to choose what your nightmares are. You don't pick them; they pick you." I grew up very fast...😏😂
Hmm...Sort of reminds me of certain stories about necromancy, resurrecting the dead, that each one so 'brought back' requires the expense of another life, sooner or later, to pay for its existence. And how this can chain-react. I'm thinking particularly of "The Death's Gate Cycle" by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.
Loved it, the remake just doesn't do it justice. Gage is so sweet and creepy at the same time. Gives me the shivers. If you're looking for an amazing twisted book and movie adaptation I suggest 'Naked Lunch'. So strange and wierd. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed. End of Line
Check out the movies Tales from the Darkside: The Movie(1990), Cujo(1983), The People Under the Stairs(1991), The Lost Boys(1987), Candyman(1992), and Creepshow(1982).
I don't mind the changes since Stephen King wrote the script. He chose what to change or leave out. I think the only thing that suffered was the trip to the burial ground to bury Gage. They didn't have the budget to do that scene justice. However, there's a scene where something huge walks over the father and there's a similar scene in the adaptation of The Mist ( probably the most faithful King film. even though it expands the ending. But King said it was an improvement). So you still kind of get to see what that would have looked like.
This movie is way better than the remake. Gage’s death was completely cut out of that because.....well I don’t really know why. It’s such a central part of the story. It’s heartbreaking, traumatic, and scary at the same time, but it gives Louis his motivation to take him to Indian burial ground beyond the pet cemetery. One thing I wish was put in there that they left out is the wendigo. The book is the first time I ever heard about the legends of the wendigo and have been fascinated by it ever since.
Here's a fun fact Kami, the actor who played Jud is the actor that played the Frankenstein dad in The Munster show when he was younger. You might recognize his face. And the little boy who played Gage is also in Wes Craven's A New Nightmare, another Horror film he's in.
Another great reaction from you. Quite a number of jumo scares :o). The movie scared me when I was young. Years later it's still kind of creepy, but I always feel that there's something missing. IMHO this movies is "like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife".
Finally, a reactor who has read the book before seeing one of King's movies. 👍👍 I love how this version is closer to the book than the remake, even though there were elements to the new movie that were a bit more spooky.
This movie is really underrated and punched way above its weight as far as budget went. It did receive some support from the studio as far as marketing goes, but there wasn't a lot to help the publicity - no big name stars or director to tout. Speaking of which, Mary Lambert deserves to be a lot more celebrated for this movie. Having Stephen King (who was the priest in the first funeral scene) write the screenplay was also a big help. I would point anyone who disagrees to compare this to the remake from a few years ago. This is by far the scarier version.
This movie always freaked me out because when I was an infant I had what Zelda had, spinal meningitis. They suspected that a nurse at the hospital accidently gave it to me and two other infants. I turned out ok, the other two not so lucky. Still is my favorite Stephen King movie though!
@@sweetkiss119 The parts with Pascow in the remake were the worst. It's like they tried wayyy too hard to make him scary. Especially with that "spooky" edgelord voice.
I liked the book's ending a lot more. He just plays solitaire, as Rachel lumbers in behind him and he doesn't even turn back to look at her. The book ends when she drops her hand on his shoulder, saying "Darling". More ambiguous and much better ending in my books (heh).
I usually like the books alot more than the films, example: Pet Sematary, The Shining and Misery. This one is this the best adaptation I've seen in a long while! ✨
I can't help but see a very bitter pill to swallow as the message here; it's "cut your losses". If you're offered a choice between A) admitting defeat, admitting that you messed up, rethinking your life, picking a different set of priorities and heading into the unknown and B) doing this crazy, high-risk thing that is the only chance to salvage the currect situation, you should sometimes pick A. Always picking B is how people get fleeced by scammers or how decent people slowly became literal Nazis. Like most fictional dramatizations, it's trivial for us to watch and tell the character "just fucking STOP!", but... how many of us actually heed that advice when applicable?
You should watch the original Amittyville horror. It's remarkably psychological for a horror movie. Great review! It's nice to see someone who genuinely gets scared during scary movies!
Stephen King made a cameo in this movie, can you find it? 👀
Yes.
11:20 "This did not happen in the book"
When Louis had inject Gage with the lethal needle and Gage cried, my heart started breaking. When Gage cried out "No fair", I was just an emotional mess.😭. This is the worst for any caring parent to do, to bury their kids, it's not natural.
He does that quite a bit in his book adaptations!
"May the lord bless you and comfort you . . . "
There is a theory that his daughter actually has the "Shining" and that´s why she can see Pascow in her dreams. Also the backstory for Pet Sematary has the Wendigo as the villain behind the whole mess. Great reaction vid as always.

You might like him in Disorganized Crime.
And he played police Officer Francis Muldoon in the sitcom "Car 54, Where Are You?"

is one of the saddest moments I have ever seen in a horror movie.
Very true about this film being sad. The only other horror film I equate to it in terms of being sad, is 'Carrie' (1976).
No fair.
You need to watch The Mist- it makes this seem like a musical by comparison.
The part of the book when he's walking towards the cemetary and feeling the evil behind his back is the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. Nothing else comes even close.
According to Stephen King, this was the hardest book for him to write since it made him examine what would happen if he lost a child. Lewis Creed's grief in the book goes into much more detail, like his hair turning white due to the mental strain.
As a child, the Zelda scenes scared me more than anything else in this film. Sure I'm not the only one.
How did you watch this movie as a kid? That's not a movie to watch in your childhood my friend 😖
The part where Gage cuts Jud's achilles tendon...
FUCK THAT SCENE. I had nightmares about it as a kid :D
@@11DNA11 Same, I still get uneasy every now and then when I get out of bed, thinking something's gonna slash my achilles, haha.
You are not aone in that. I first saw this movie when I was like 6 or 7, and Zelda freaked me the f*ck out, almost gave me nightmares. 😲 😱
You're not alone. I first saw this in my teens after reading the book, and 30 years later, the Zelda scenes, especially the last one still puts shivers up my spine, and makes me scan the dark corners of rooms for her.

Great, great horror movie.
And to her daughter being a Medium:
Maybe she has the Shining 😊
OHGOD
@@Centane since Kings Stories are all part of one universe it would make sense 😯
Isn't a medium rare? Other than that the movie was well done.

Agreed. The casting in this movie is perfect. I'd love to have Norma there as well, but.
In the book Louis had to climb a tree to get to the semetary.
The mother is played by Denise Crosby, who is the granddaughter to Bing Crosby. She was Lt Tasha Yar AND Romulan Commander Sela in Star Trek: TNG
This movie has some of the Best One Liners in movies ever...

"Did you say yutes?"
The part with zelda freaked me out when I was younger so your reaction is understandable great vid 😁
honestly terrifying part
@@Centane Did you notice cameo from Stephen King ? He was the priest in that funeral at 11 min 05 sec mark . He appears in movies he approves .

Now it probably has a lot wrong with it from sitting in the woods for 35 years. You can see it in Pet Sematary Filming Locations videos.
The audible narration of this book is terrifying. More then the movie..
"Psycho cat, hello!" 😂
Small children brought back from the dead are Jud's Achilles heel 😬😬😬

The fathers cries always broke my heart.
I watched this movie for the first time when I was 2 or 3, used to be my favorite movie when I was a kid.
Sits proudly on my Stephen king bookcase. (Separate one=he's written so many).

I grew up very fast...😏😂
I'll be damned, that's Lt. Yar! No wonder Denise Crosby thought Star Trek wasn't giving her enough to do.
missy's death was a substitute for Jud's wife. This was done so Ellie and Luis can move the plot forward with Rachel recounting Zelda.
I love the lighting you've got going. Very fitting for the month. I'm rather surprised the SCP foundation hasn't already quarantined all of Maine.
This movie TRAUMATIZED me as a kid!
Jud Crandall played by Fred Gwynne or Hermin Munster from the original TV series.
Hmm...Sort of reminds me of certain stories about necromancy, resurrecting the dead, that each one so 'brought back' requires the expense of another life, sooner or later, to pay for its existence. And how this can chain-react. I'm thinking particularly of "The Death's Gate Cycle" by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.
"Now I Want To Play With You..." So creepy, I loved this movie, Great reaction .
Glad you spotted him, watched an IT2 reaction recently , went unspotted by reactionary, oh well. Poor SK
Loved it, the remake just doesn't do it justice. Gage is so sweet and creepy at the same time. Gives me the shivers. If you're looking for an amazing twisted book and movie adaptation I suggest 'Naked Lunch'. So strange and wierd. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed.

“Arthritis” is inflammation, damage, degradation, and pain of the joints. It’s a combination of “arthro,” for joint, and “itis” for inflammation.
I don't mind the changes since Stephen King wrote the script. He chose what to change or leave out. I think the only thing that suffered was the trip to the burial ground to bury Gage. They didn't have the budget to do that scene justice.

But King said it was an improvement). So you still kind of get to see what that would have looked like.
In medical terms any word finishes with (itis) is an inflammation,, arthritis is a common term means joint inflammation
A SMART parent would have built a fence around the property, but then again, we wouldn't have a book or movie.
i did the same thing read the book then the movie love it!
Timmy Batterman (sp) was scary as hell in the book. I really wish they included all of him in the story. "Whatta ya think of that"?
The Haunting, Stir if Echos, End of Days. All good movies
Saw this when i was a kid. I had nightmares about her sister for months
This movie is way better than the remake. Gage’s death was completely cut out of that because.....well I don’t really know why. It’s such a central part of the story. It’s heartbreaking, traumatic, and scary at the same time, but it gives Louis his motivation to take him to Indian burial ground beyond the pet cemetery. One thing I wish was put in there that they left out is the wendigo. The book is the first time I ever heard about the legends of the wendigo and have been fascinated by it ever since.
21:17 He wasn't supposed to hit his head, he actually hurt himself.
Jud was exactly like envisioned him, and id love to have a neighbor like him.
Great song PET SEMATARY by the RAMONES
Here's a fun fact Kami, the actor who played Jud is the actor that played the Frankenstein dad in The Munster show when he was younger. You might recognize his face. And the little boy who played Gage is also in Wes Craven's A New Nightmare, another Horror film he's in.
the creepiest is when i saw Stephen King as a minister or a priest, great movie great ending
Fantastic, I read this and saw it in theater, you're so good at this!
thank you!! 🥺✨
Another great reaction from you. Quite a number of jumo scares :o). The movie scared me when I was young. Years later it's still kind of creepy, but I always feel that there's something missing. IMHO this movies is "like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife".
Finally, a reactor who has read the book before seeing one of King's movies. 👍👍 I love how this version is closer to the book than the remake, even though there were elements to the new movie that were a bit more spooky.
This movie is really underrated and punched way above its weight as far as budget went. It did receive some support from the studio as far as marketing goes, but there wasn't a lot to help the publicity - no big name stars or director to tout. Speaking of which, Mary Lambert deserves to be a lot more celebrated for this movie. Having Stephen King (who was the priest in the first funeral scene) write the screenplay was also a big help. I would point anyone who disagrees to compare this to the remake from a few years ago. This is by far the scarier version.
This movie always freaked me out because when I was an infant I had what Zelda had, spinal meningitis. They suspected that a nurse at the hospital accidently gave it to me and two other infants. I turned out ok, the other two not so lucky. Still is my favorite Stephen King movie though!
was going to correct your spelling again and then remembered king misspelled cemetary on purpose lol. Great job :)
my time to correct you!! cemetery ** MUHAHAHA 😈
Wow. You got me. Ill see if i can get you back lol :)
jess played herman munster in the 60's series the munsters
Kamilla, House on Haunted Hill and Beetlejuice. You'll love them. Hope you feel better soon
Like usual, the original version is far better than the recent remake.
Agreed remake sucked ass
That's with SO many movies.
Only remake that's infinitely better than the original is the 1982 remake of The Thing.
@@sweetkiss119 The parts with Pascow in the remake were the worst. It's like they tried wayyy too hard to make him scary. Especially with that "spooky" edgelord voice.
The boy that plays Gage is in the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Kindergarten Cop and and the final Freddy Kreuger movie. Wes Craven;s New Nightmare.
the preacher was stephen king , he has a habit of appearing in his films !
Gotta love this classic masterpiece!
Considering how outstanding the book is, it's wonderful how this movie is at least as scary as the book, if not more so
I grew up on horror movies, and the only thing to ever scare me was her sister Zelda.
I liked the book's ending a lot more. He just plays solitaire, as Rachel lumbers in behind him and he doesn't even turn back to look at her. The book ends when she drops her hand on his shoulder, saying "Darling". More ambiguous and much better ending in my books (heh).
I usually like the books alot more than the films, example: Pet Sematary, The Shining and Misery. This one is this the best adaptation I've seen in a long while! ✨
@@Centane did it freak you out when you watched it
It's one of the few movie adaptations that, in a way, is better than the book.
I can't help but see a very bitter pill to swallow as the message here; it's "cut your losses". If you're offered a choice between A) admitting defeat, admitting that you messed up, rethinking your life, picking a different set of priorities and heading into the unknown and B) doing this crazy, high-risk thing that is the only chance to salvage the currect situation, you should sometimes pick A. Always picking B is how people get fleeced by scammers or how decent people slowly became literal Nazis. Like most fictional dramatizations, it's trivial for us to watch and tell the character "just fucking STOP!", but... how many of us actually heed that advice when applicable?
One of my favs,but here is one flying under the radar,I invite you to watch the trailer for FRAILTY.
Gage death was the hardest for me. But anyways. Dark. Classic. Love it.
To this day, Zelda is the scariest character I've ever seen in a horror movie
he'll always be herman munster to me
Verry underrated and i think one of the best Stephen King adaption.
This is my FAVORITE Book and movie. I can’t describe how much I love Pet Sematary 💜
You should watch the original Amittyville horror. It's remarkably psychological for a horror movie.
Great review! It's nice to see someone who genuinely gets scared during scary movies!
Lol Stephen King was the preacher performing the funeral service.
11:10 That's Stephen King playing the minister :)
The daughter Ellie can Shine like the little boy in The Shining.
11:12 That is Steven King.
Zelda, and Zombie Gage are the scariest things in this movie. I love that Pascow is the guardian of the Indian Burial ground.
This is my favorite king movie of all time 😁😍
I think this was the first movie that genuinely scared me
The priest at the cemetery in the earlier part of the film... that was Stephen King himself.
More people should react to this movie also It from 1990
