louis creed and a doctor from chicago and move to a large house near a small town and since he be go to be give class in the university of maine . along with him and be his wife rachel and their two kid and ellie and gage and as well a ellie cat and church . soon and they meet their new neighbor and and old man name judd crandall . judd not only warn louis and rachel about the danger that be the highway that run past their house ( that be constantly a way use by big truck ) but also show to the family a pet cemetery that be locate near their house . judd start to talk about the importance of the pet cemetery and but rachel be against to talk about death and spirituality with her child and since she have trauma from her sister zelda death . during the first week of the family in the new house and louis already have dead people to deal with represent victor pascow and a student who have be fatally injure in an automobile accident and address his die word to louis personally and even though the two men be stranger . on the night follow pascow death and louis experience what he believe be a very vivid dream in which he meet pascow and who lead him to the pet cemetery and warn louis to not go beyond and no matter how much you feel you need to . louis wake up in bed the next morning convince it be only a dream and until he discover his foot and the bedsheets cover with dirt and pine needle . anyway and he dismiss the dream . many strange thing start to happen and church and ellie cat and dy while walk on the highway . louis stay worry in how he be go to talk about church death with ellie and but judd and sympathize with him and jud take louis to the pet cemetery and supposedly to bury church . but instead of stop there and jud lead louis far on a frighten journey to the real cemetery represent an ancient burial ground that be once use by the micmac ( . indian . ) . there louis buries the cat on jud instruction and with jud say that animal bury there have come back to life . and that be where the real horror story begin . i personally find this movie very good . it not the most horrifying of all and but it be one of the best horror movie i watch . the way gage dy and be almost impossible to not stay in your memory and specially be a toddler . it cool to see stephen king cameo a the minister of the funeral . of course and there be some script error represent how can a rich doctor with two small kid and go to live in a place where there be a dangerous highway near his house . how gage have no scratch or anything after be hit by a truck . why louis continue to resurrect every member of his family know they be all go to stay like monster . thing like that doesn not make any sense and but i can understand that all horror script need to have some surreal idea to work . a good thing i saw in this movie and be the necessity to talk about death with the child and no matter what be your religion or if you be an atheist and and also that avoid important subject doesn not help anything . because of louis be afraid to be honest with ellie and confront her and say that her cat wouldn not be back again and all the nightmare begin .
