Stephen King's classic horror novel Pet Sematary has been adapted into two feature films, one in 1989 and one in 2019. Both films tell the story of Louis Creed, a doctor who moves his family to a new home in Maine, where he discovers a mysterious pet cemetery in the woods behind their house. When the family's cat is killed by a car, Louis buries it in the pet cemetery, and it is soon resurrected, but with a sinister new personality. Louis's daughter Ellie is later killed by a truck, and he decides to bury her in the pet cemetery as well, hoping to bring her back to life. However, Ellie returns as a zombie-like creature, and Louis is forced to kill her again.
