    Storyline

    Edit
    Eager to start afresh, the young doctor, Louis Creed, and his family--his wife, Rachel, their daughter, Ellie, and their three-year-old toddler, Gage--move to their new home in the small rural town of Ludlow, Maine, alarmingly close to a busy highway. However, after the inadvertent death of Rachel's cherished tomcat in an awful accident, reluctantly, a desperate Louis will take his friendly neighbour's advice to bury it in an ancient Micmac graveyard: a mystical burial ground imbued with alleged reanimating powers. Now, despite the terrible results and the insistent warnings from a recently deceased, tragedy-stricken Louis has no other choice but to go back to the Indian cemetery, in high hopes that, this time, things will be different. Nevertheless, can the dead truly return from the grave? —Nick Riganas

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Stephen King once mentioned that the only novel he wrote that really scared him was "Pet Sematary."
    • Goofs
      (at around 5 mins) When Louis is checking on Ellie after she fell off the tire swing he is wearing a tee shirt without a collar and sleeves that are rolled up midway past his elbow. When Rachel gets up to rush after Gage his tee shirt is now an open shirt with stripes and a collar. In the next shot when he gets up to follow Rachel his shirt is once again back to a tee shirt.
    • Quotes

      Jud Crandall: Sometimes, dead is better.

    • Alternate versions
      Television censors of some of the films gorier moments included alternate shots from different angles that hide the more graphic images. This especially came into play with the Timmy Baterman scenes and the films finale in the Creed's kitchen.

    A very good horror film.
    Pet Sematary is a very good horror film and believe it or not somebody can make a good horror film out of a Stephen King novel. Mary Lambert does a great job with this film and manages to bring across King's creepy story pretty well. Most people may avoid this, but they should check it out.

    FAQ14

    • Gage gets hit by a semi barreling down the road. Considering he's only 2 years old, this would almost certainly have destroyed his tiny body, which is obviously why his casket was closed, but when Lewis digs him up, Gage only has a scar on his forehead how can this be?
    • Why did Lewis kill Church at the end? He only planned on killing Gage ad he came back like Timmy Baterman did, and he could have just walked in after distracting Church with the meat.
    • What is a "deadfall"?
