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.
According to Kevin Kölsch, "Ellie is the one who has the self-awareness to know what is happening to her and she has the vocabulary to ask questions about it." 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 had high expectations for this and I have to say it didn't disappoint. It was better than the original and I enjoyed some of the changes they made fro the source material, and original film.
It made me jump in a few places and it was lovely to see John lithgow doing some fantastic acting. The little girl Ellie was also very good given her age and that cat is one grumpy sour-puss. (Pun intended)
It would have been full stars if one actor in particular had been dropped as I really don't see how they contributed anything to the storyline. Won't point fingers, as I'm confident when you have seen the movie, you'll know who it is straightaway.
Would watch again and recommend others to see it too.
