Pet Sematary (1989)

Dale Midkiff moves with his family to the country home of their dreams. Unfortunately it is located near a very busy highway and a cursed burial ground. These two features together bring the potential for disaster. The acting by Midkiff and wife Denise Crosby is a somewhat stilted, the effects can be a bit dated and silly, and a side story involving Crosby’s childhood is ineffectual and campy. Luckily the undeniable presence of Fred Gwynne as a knowing neighbor and the chilling strength of Stephen King’s story still make it work somehow.
