Our Ranking of the 10 Scariest Stephen King Movies Ever

The 2019 "Pet Sematary" had big shoes to fill, but King story's is especially terrifying because of its all too real depiction of grief. It poses the question: what if you could bring a loved one back from the dead? Should you? The answer to that question is, of course, no, but the father at the center of the story finds out the hard way when he buries his toddler, Gage, in the titular cemetery. Gage comes back as a murderous, soulless monster, but he still looks like his son. That only makes the moment when he asks his father to play in his innocent voice all the more devastating and horrifying.
