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.
In the novel, the family discovers the Pet Sematary when Jud tells them what is on the path near their new home. In the film, Rachel and Ellie discover the cemetery on their own. See more »

When Ellie begins climbing the barrier in the "pet sematary", she accidentally kicks what appears to be a hornets nest, and is stung on the leg. Judd appears and immediately removes the stinger, and applies a dab of mud as first aid. Hornets do not leave their stingers behind when they sting. Only bees do this. See more »
This movie was great from start to finish, it all started so innocuously and then the menace and tension built and built.
The husband/father played by Jason Clarke as the normal guy next door brought an intensity and warmth to the screen. This really was a class act, we had him in Aftermath and now this. His on screen presence is so underplayed that you don't notice the skills he applies to the micro-gestures and fleeting emotions he conveys with the eyes.
The neighbour, played by John Lithgow was masterfully realised, solid as a rock here and the wife played by Amy Seimetz was the icing on the cake. Whoever cast this movie got it spot on, how a lovely fluffy tabby could scare the b'jesus out of us was brilliant.
Within its genre this is nearly perfect on every front, script, cast, plot, music, direction and cinematography.
