10 Zombie Movies Where Everyone Dies

Based on the novel by Stephen King, the Mary Lambert-helmed horror Pet Sematary features plenty of creepy and shocking moments. When the Creed family move into their new home in Ludlow, Maine, they were probably hoping for a lot less reanimation.

After the family cat is killed on the highway outside their home, neighbour Jud suggests family patriarch Louis takes it beyond the pet cemetery near their property and buries it in an ancient Native American burial ground. He does, and the following day the once-dead cat arrives back at home alive, but not quite right. Later, the young Gage Creed dies in a horrific accident on the highway, and Louis, against all warnings, buries his son in the same place. Gage returns with malevolence and kills both the neighbour and his mother.

Louis fights off his reanimated son, finally injecting him with morphine to kill him, and he takes his wife’s body to the cemetery to bring her back. She obliges, and in her undead state comes back and stabs Louis to death as the screen goes black. Louis spends much of the movie grieving and having to deal with a lot of death around him. He’s a doctor and he couldn’t prevent any of the deaths he saw. It was this cemetery that gave him a way of cheating death, and the power to bring back his deceased loved ones.
