Pet Sematary

Scholarship on Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary (1989) overarchingly focuses on the Stephen King novel, while the film itself is often absent from considerations of North American horror cinema of the 1980s, and from wider horror scholarship in general. This Devil's Advocate stands as a corrective, and provides a holistic analysis, in order to situate it as an important entry into the history of horror cinema.

Riassunto
