Plot Summary
Dr. Louis Creed, having just moved to Maine with his wife and two children, is heartbroken when he finds that his daughter's beloved cat has been hit by a truck and killed. Thankfully, a strange, elderly neighbor called Jud knows a secret that may spare the young girl's tears. He takes the dead cat to an ancient Indian burial ground that lies hidden in the surrounding hilltops; and when he buries the feline there, it comes back to life a few days later. But Louis can't be trusted with the secret, and, despite strong warnings that something horrible will happen, he uses the power of the burial ground to bring his son back from the dead -- after the child is killed the same way the family cat was.

Love this movie!!!
I admit, I was terrified of this movie the first time that I saw it. I have watched it numerous times since then and have grown to love it. Not too long ago I watched a biography on Stephen King, he told his reasoning for writing this story. He and his family used to live on a busy trucking road, just like the one in this movie and his son was almost killed by one of the trucks. It was very interesting!! Anyhow, this is a great movie!! There are some parts in here that will make you jump and maybe even make you turn on every light in your house at night... (ha ha) but it truly is a Stephen King greatest hit!! You wont regret buying it!!
great rendition of stephen king's most thought-provoking story...
although some of the deeper meanings of the novel are left out here to keep the movie less complex and to the point, it is still a great movie with a unique feel of dread that is hard for many directors to grasp in their films. however i know some people that despise this film for being unrealistic and slightly corny in some parts. if you ever start to feel like this is just another superficial horror story, read the novel, and it will blow you away.
Not just a zombie film.
When I was a kid I used to think that this was just a typical zombie film. With just the typical dead coming back to life & killing people. As I got older I realized that is was much more. It deals with how people grieve, & sometimes the best way to deal with death is to just let go, & let the healing begin. For if you don't it will wind up destroying everything you hold dear in your life. But if you just want to see a really creepy movie, this is the one for you!
