Louis Creed, his wife Rachel, and their two children, Gage and Ellie, move to a rural home where they are welcomed and enlightened about the eerie 'Pet Sematary' located nearby. After the tragedy of their cat being killed by a truck, Louis resorts to burying it in the mysterious pet cemetery, which is definitely not as it seems, as it proves to the Creeds that sometimes, dead is better.

When we see the shot of the truck barreling towards Elle and Gage, the camera truck can be seen reflected off the truck's steel bumper. See more »
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, Paramount Pictures Australia decided to release the uncut version instead which also gained an MA15+ rating. See more »
I'm not going to say much... every "dark" scene looks like it was obviously film in an indoor studio rather than outdoors... anyone scared by this is a child to horror filmmaking.. why King endorsed this i will never know, unless its about the usal $$$... the original film kicks this one's butt in oh so many ways... as a BIG fan of the book this film left me dry in the mouth.. the actors do not reflect the book's in anyway... even if this were a retelling it fails to conjure any real scares, instead opting for cheesy scores at times it wants you to feel tension... it just does not work...
