Quote: “Sometimes Dead is Better.”- Jud Crandall

Fun Facts: Listen for Jud talking in the background during Ellie’s birthday party, he is referencing to another Stephen King’s novel/movie, Cujo (“There was a big Saint Bernard. He got rabies…”).

The sign on the highway said ‘Derry 20 miles’ which is the town in Stephen King’s It.

The scene with Louis digging up his dead kid is filmed in the real cemetary at 4 am.

Stephen King actually liked the huge change from the novel for this film.


Summary: A family moves to the new house near the burial grounds that brings animals and people back from the dead but the catch is that they do not come back the same.

The Review: When it comes to Stephen King adaptations, he is on fire!
