Following last year's Dark Tower, Joker's Return, Stephen King's masterpiece Pet Graveyard also appeared on the big screen. It is also the first time in 30 years that the pet cemetery has made a terrifying appearance with a brand-new attitude. Stephen King's original work can be said to be a guarantee for the film. Especially the movies adapted from his thriller works, such as The Shining, The Phantom of the Fierce, The Clown, etc., are all well-received movies. Now that the Easter holiday is approaching, it is still very fitting to watch a movie related to resurrection.
The male protagonist's family of four was originally a happy family and moved to a house by the road. Not long after they arrived, the male protagonist's wife and eldest daughter were attracted by a group of weird people wearing animal masks, with a moving corpse on their cart. Then, through the leadership of the neighbor's uncle, he led to the pet cemetery, and through the dialogue between the neighbor's uncle and the eldest daughter, he said that the word cemetery (the correct spelling should be cemetery) was misspelled.
The male protagonist's family is mainly composed of the male protagonist, his wife, the eldest daughter, the youngest son, and a fat house happy beast. The male protagonist's occupation is a doctor. One day, a seriously injured black guy was sent to the hospital. Although the male protagonist tried his best, the black guy died in front of the male protagonist because of excessive blood loss. At night, the soul of the black guy also guided the male protagonist to the pet cemetery.
What caused the great change in the life of the male protagonist's family was that the fat house happy beast was killed by a car, which was the eldest daughter's favorite pet. However, the male protagonist's family does not seem to teach their daughter the meaning of death in a correct way, especially the male protagonist's wife. Because she was afraid of her sick sister when she was a child, she failed to take care of her sister at a critical moment and caused her sister's death. They were all afraid that their daughter would be sad and did not properly guide her daughter to face the cat's death. The neighbor's uncle has a good relationship with his daughter. He came up with a foolish idea to bury the cat on the ground behind the pet cemetery and bring the cat back to life.
The male protagonist succeeded, and the cat was resurrected, but the cat's temperament changed drastically and became very aggressive, scratching the daughter and the male protagonist successively, scaring the younger son to tears. The male protagonist finally decides to discard the cat that has become terrifying. However, on the day of her daughter's ninth birthday, the cat ran back and both her daughter and son were drawn to the road. It happened that a big truck was speeding on the highway (a detail, the driver was actually looking at his mobile phone, no wonder something happened), the male protagonist saved his young son, but the truck rolled over, and the eldest daughter was unfortunately killed (yes, in the movie It was the older daughter who was involved in the accident).
The male protagonist and his wife were heartbroken, and the wife temporarily left the male protagonist. At this time, the male protagonist thought of the land behind the pet cemetery, and wanted to use this method to revive the eldest daughter. The uncle of the neighbor also saw his thoughts and warned him not to do this, and the resurrected daughter would be completely a person. But the male protagonist who missed his daughter didn't listen at all, and he stunned the neighbors with medication. The soul of the black guy also appeared. In order to repay the male protagonist for his best treatment at the time, he told him that he could not do this, but the male protagonist still ignored it. So the soul of the black guy reminded the male protagonist's wife, so that she must stop the crazy behavior of the male protagonist.
It's a pity that it was too late. The male protagonist who didn't listen to the advice had already resurrected his daughter, but his daughter's behavior really scared him. The daughter slipped out of the house and brutally killed the neighbor's uncle. When the male owner's wife brought the young son to the house, they chased and killed them all the way. The wife and the male owner tried their best to protect the son, but the wife was also blackened by the crazy daughter carnage.
The daughter dragged the body of her mother, the husband's wife, alone, and buried it in the back of the pet cemetery. The male protagonist also locked his son in the car and told his son not to drive the doors and windows. In the end, the male protagonist and the blackened daughter fought in the pet cemetery. The male protagonist tried his best to control his daughter, but unexpectedly, the resurrected wife appeared from behind and pierced the male protagonist to death. At dawn, the male protagonist, his daughter, and his wife walked towards the son in the car together, and the movie came to an abrupt end.
Obviously, the male protagonist has also been resurrected through the place behind the pet cemetery, and like his daughter and wife, he has become a crazy and aggressive zombie, and the youngest son cannot escape such a fate. This family will finally be reunited in such an alternative way. At the beginning of the movie, the weird crowd wearing animal masks should be a zombie family like the last male protagonist.
The movie part has been adapted from the previous work, such as changing the young son who had a car accident to the eldest daughter, and the person who buried his wife from the male protagonist to the blackened daughter. The ending is also different. But most of them still follow Stephen King's original work and the first homepage in 1989. There are not many characters in the movie, and the narrative is relatively clear, which can be regarded as telling a good story to the audience. The ending is open-ended, but it is still easy for the audience to guess what will happen to the male protagonist's family in the end. The atmosphere of the movie is very thrilling, mainly using the atmosphere to bring the audience's emotions. But a few frightening shots make people feel like they were forcibly inserted.
As for the insights from the movie, I would like to say that you must not learn from the male protagonist to buy a house on the side of the road. If you don't take good care of the children or animals at home and let them run on the road, it will be dangerous.
