在这部宠物坟场悬疑/惊悚/恐怖片中,路易斯带著一家人从城市迁居到缅因州的乡间小镇开始，由于家门前经常有卡车飞驰，附近的宠物常遭遇被碾死的悲剧，然后被葬在附近的印第安墓园。而这座墓园也因此被称作宠物坟场。不幸的是，路易斯·克里兹的爱女也惨死车轮之下，同样被葬在宠物坟场，他的亡魂却被起死回生成为恐怖的杀人魔，宁静的小镇不再宁静。
Louis Creed, his wife Rachel, and their two children, Gage and Ellie, move to a rural home where they are welcomed and enlightened about the eerie 'Pet Sematary' located nearby. After the tragedy of their cat being killed by a truck, Louis resorts to burying it in the mysterious pet cemetery, which is definitely not as it seems, as it proves to the Creeds that sometimes, dead is better.
