Pet Sematary
When grieving father Louis Creed discovers a cursed burial ground that can bring the dead back to life, he must decide how far he'll go to restore his lost loved ones before the resurrected horror destroys everything he holds dear.
“Sometimes dead is better.”
Synopsis
Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to Ludlow, a rural town in Maine, accompanied by their two young children. While exploring the woods near their new home, their eldest daughter, Ellie, stumbles upon a hidden cemetery where members of the local community bury their pets.

A crew of 45+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
