That’s a pretty ballsy thing for a horror film to do

[@TKZells16]

This is considered one of King's most brutal books, and the inspiration actually came from when King and his family rented a cabin up in Maine next to a similarly 18 wheeler busy road. His daughter, Naomi, lost her beloved cat Smucky first. The youngest of the King children Owen, who would go on to write Sleeping Beauties, almost suffered the same fate as Gage if it weren't for King scooping him at the last minute. The event shook up King so much that he sat himself down and wrote down what would have happened if he didn't save his son on time. It got the seal of approval from his writer wife Tabitha and off it went to the publishing house.

[@thedragonmaster1436]

Judd: Let's bury your cat in this evil place. Also Judd later: Yeah my undead dog was evil when it came back to life.

[@patrickphelan279]

In the book, that's the point - a mean kitty can't do too much, and seeing that Church isn't the way he should be is there to subliminally teach Ellie that, say it with me Judd and everyone, "sometimes dead is better". That said, Judd also admits that teaching Lou about the existence of the evil place was a bad idea, but maybe that's part of the influence of the evil place, and also the perverse human incentive to do bad things with good intentions, et cetera et cetera... It's a really good book, anyway.

@@jonal5126 A movie should never rely on the audience's knowledge of the book it was based on.

[@Arthur_url]

My biggest gripe with this movie is how over the top it is with every horror aspect of the story. In the book, all the creepy things about the micmac cemetery are initially very subtle. Like Church for example, he doesn't come back as an evil angry zombie cat, instead he's just much more "calm" than the usual, like he doesn't react a lot about anything, and walks in a funny wiggling way. Louis even says that he seems normal, but there's just something off. Same thing with Judd's dog, he says that during the time he was alive after the first burial, he was just a bit different, like his mind was somewhere else, or something.

For those who are concerned about the cat actor's health in the film When the cat is killed a second time at the climax, the needle is rigged to look as if it is sticking into him, but it is not. The cat was sedated by a veterinarian. A representative of American Humane was present and the cat made a full recovery. Both the cat and dog are made to appear bloody at times. Harmless make-up was used to look like blood The cat is okay. You can breathe.

There was a bull that came back a lot meaner but most animals that came back were just dumber, lost their peppiness and were like empty shells.

We'd see him at "The Wicked Good Store" where half the town went to get lunch at least a dozen times every summer. His wife was friendlier than he was, as a 'neighbor', but the Kings were very cool to have around - they bought up a bunch of land just to keep it from being developed.

I always liked to think that Jud's story about his dog was him lying about bringing his wife back, not wanting to admit he'd brought a human back, but also wanting to warn him of the dangers of the burial ground. That's just me.

[@kylemcintyre4182]

@@cameronhardy2920 Not at all... Norma dies half way through the novel, after Judd recounts the story about Spot. The novel goes into a bit of backstory about them as well, such as Judd being a sex addict and going out of town to buy prostitutes and Norma cheated on him with all of his friends out of revenge (this is revealed right before Gage kills Judd) while the theory may be possible with the films it is definitely not a theory relating to the novel.

Louis's death at the end was from his own idiocity. He easily could've avoided that by just not bringing her back, he'd seen the effects when bringing a human back already. EDIT: Since this comment seems to still be getting seen and replied to, I would like to state that this is no longer my stance. I am autistic and, at the time of making this comment, struggled with understanding emotions. I've managed to get better at it and do now see why he would act in the way he did.

[@homi5486]

I think that was his way of killing himself not being able to cope with grief after loosing his child and his wife, so he decides to spend one last time with his wife

[@jacobm6617]

but the way grief affects you makes you so desperate to see the person you love again that if you’re given an opportunity to bring them back, you’d probably do it, and tell yourself it’ll be different this time

[@haydenhpp]

The burial ground has an effect on you that pulls you back to it, it rationalizes every reason it can for you to go back to it. That’s why Jud told him about it even though he knew the effects it had, and that’s why he buries his wife

[@jacobm6617]

I remember reading Pet Sematary in middle school. I was sitting in the cafeteria during lunch when I got to Gage's death. Had to put the book down and hold back tears in the middle of the lunchroom from how sad and terrifying that part was. I can easily imagine books in my head, which is fun most of the time. But reading about a toddler getting flattened by a semi? Not so fun.

[@starkman78]

My mom figured out what was going to happen and tried to abandon the book. My dad made her finish it; they had been waiting for ages to get it from the library. I was a kid when the movie was in theaters. I “needed” a potty break and, by golly, I missed Gage getting hit. 😥

this was like one of my first horror movies and while it may not be technically good or a true adaption. It was terrifying, especially as it served as an introduction of death and grief when I was a kid (I was lucky in that it was a movie intro). But Zeldas death, Gages, the hanging, was all so horrible, chaotic and served to educate how unfair and violent death and sickness is.

That's exactly what the story is about how our hearts can't accept grief and loss of a child or a loved one to the point where we think we can bargain with existence itself at any cost, which is wrong hence the title - sometimes dead is better. PS Stephen King actually rented a house near a Maine university when his kids were infants next to a road with heavy traffic that had killed off so many pets, and there was a fucking real pet sematary in the woods, AND his kid almost ran out in the road !! It's in the foreword of the book it could have happened to King himself which is why he think it is his most tragic book ever.

When I was growing up we had a cat named furby who looked just like this cat. He would even get in fights (as a Tom cat that isn't fixed that's normal) and would have big open wounds and even part of his ear torn off so that made him look even more like a zombie cat.
