RAISE SOME HELL.
Geoff Matthews’s (Edward Furlong) horror-movie star mother dies in a freak accident; he and his father (Anthony Edwards) move to a small town where a pet cemetery hides a burial ground with mysterious powers. Director Mary Lambert is back for another take on Stephen King’s original story; the result is an unappetizing stew with plenty of gore but no thrills at all. A few amusing ideas such as Clancy Brown’s grinning, bleeding sadist of a sheriff, but the final showdown is particularly tiresome.
1992-U.S. 100 min. Color. Directed by Mary Lambert. Cast: Edward Furlong (Geoff Matthews), Anthony Edwards (Chase Matthews), Clancy Brown (Gus Gilbert), Jared Rushton, Darlanne Fluegel, Sarah Trigger.
