Review: We all know the premise of this movie, there is a graveyard that brings pets, or people if you bury them there, back to life, to kill you. Now what you would have noticed in this one, if you have the attention to detail like I do, is that a lack of love (and aggressive fucking tractor trailer drivers) killed the pets and people in this movie. Rachel (Denise Crosby) the mother is as cold as they come in a horror movie. You never see her caudling her own children, or have a facial expression other than a stone cold look. It seems this is the actress that Kristin Stewart modeled her career after. I actually think that Rachel wanted the little boy to die.
Example 1: When the family gets back from not seeing their father, the first thing Rachel says to Louis is "here take your kid" She has no feelings for this kid.
Example 2: When Gage is walking to the road that apparently has no speed limit, and has a tractor trailer barreling down on him at about 85mph, Rachel can be seen screaming "GET THE BABY" "GET THE BABY" personalize it you bitch, its your own son. His name may be reserved for only outcasts with flowing black hair that drive black muscle cars in high school sitcoms, but its your fucking son, not "baby".
I really don't blame Rachel for her lack of love towards the family, I'd be pissed too if my husband the doctor didn't own a boat.
