Pet Sematary (1989)
1 other mistake
Directed by: Mary Lambert
Starring: Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby, Fred Gwynne, Brad Greenquist
Revealing mistake: When Louis sets Gage's lifeless body on fire, it becomes apparent that it is a stunt dummy. The body resembles a small, pale mannequin with vague facial features and a wig.
Jud Crandall: How's your cat, Louis?
Louis Creed: It's Ellie's cat.
Jud Crandall: No. It's your cat now.
Trivia: George A. Romero was originally set to direct; but when filming was delayed, he dropped out, and Mary Lambert stepped in.
Question: Why did Louis kill Church at the end? He only planned on killing Gage if he came back like Timmy Baterman did, and he could have just walked in after distracting Church with the meat.

Chosen answer: Church's behavior had changed after being buried. He was now violent (and working with Gage) and needed to be put down before killing anyone.
