Viewing Notes

A spin on the Pet Semetery premise: sister died at a young age but bring her back at the current age she would be. But she ain’t right; something is very wrong with her.

Fired this up for Dee Wallace, who I was worried wasn’t going to get much screentime after her first scene. Fortunately she gets more time towards the end of the film. Bonus Tristan Risk, who I didn’t know was in the movie, yet is the resurrected sister and does well in that role.

Familiar territory but a solid, low budget movie that looks good and is effective. I dunno why the ratings are so low on IMDb and TMDb. This is totally the film that shows up at Panic Fest / Chattanooga level festivals and viewers are like, “it’s fine!” A 3-star seems harsh.
