    • Trivia
      During Ellie's birthday party, Jud can be heard in the background saying, "There was a big Saint Bernard... killed four people". This is an obvious reference to Cujo (1983), another movie based on a Stephen King novel.
    • Goofs
      For the Halloween scenes, the outside foliage is seen clearly in full green, spring bloom, this would not be the case for late October (Autumn) in Maine/New England.
    • Quotes

      Jud Crandall: [from trailer] Sometimes, dead is better.

    • Alternate versions
      Paramount Pictures Australia submitted a 98 minute version of Pet Sematary which gained an MA15+ rating. Presumably this version was pre-cut in an attempt to gain a lower M rating. As with Overlord (2018), Paramount Pictures Australia decided to release the uncut version instead which also gained an MA15+ rating.

    Good horror movie, but not perfect
    Good horror movie, but not perfect. the acting and the scenes were really good, but the film itself felt very rushed. and the plot does not follow the book. which is both good and bad. but oval it was an okay horror movie, but that did not live up to its potential.
