Editorial Review - Product Description
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.
Coulda been better
A Customer Review by Joseph A. Lawrence
I've always gone back and forth on this movie. As I am sure it's a fantastic book and story, the bad acting doesn't live up to those same expectations. Suprisingly bad performance by Jessica Lange. The only real suprises are a great performance by Fred Gwynne and the little boy, who turned out to be a star in his later years. I do admire Mary Lambert, but maybe she's better off sticking with music videos rather than movies.
My answer is a remake of the original with a different cast.
All time favorite...

This is a great movie version of a scary-as-all-get-out Stephen King novel. No horror fan's collection should lack this movie.
