Pet Sematary


 

The Creed family—Louis, Rachel, their children Ellie and Gage and their pet cat Church—move from Chicago to rural Ludlow, Maine, after Louis accepts a job as a local physician. They befriend neighbor Jud Crandall, who takes them to an isolated pet cemetery (misspelled "sematary") in the forest behind the Creeds' home.

 

Louis encounters Victor Pascow, a jogger who is fatally injured after being hit by a truck. He warns Louis about the pet cemetery before dying, calling Louis by name though they have never met. That night, Pascow's ghost leads Louis to the cemetery and warns him not to cross the barrier. Louis awakens from the supposed dream to find his feet covered in dirt.

 

During Thanksgiving, while the family is gone, Church is hit by a truck and killed. Realizing Ellie will be devastated, Jud takes Louis beyond the pet cemetery and deep into the woods, to an ancient Miꞌkmaq burial ground. Jud instructs Louis to bury the cat and warns him not to tell anyone about what they have done. The next day, a reanimated Church returns to the house. He now stinks, moves sluggishly, his eyes glow gold and he is vicious toward Louis. Jud explains that as a boy he revived his pet dog and that, although the cat might be different, it will save Ellie the grief of losing her pet.

 

Sometime later, Gage is killed by a truck along the same highway. Jud anticipates that Louis is considering burying his son in the Miꞌkmaq ground, although Louis denies it. Jud believes that introducing Louis to the ritual ground aroused the malevolent forces present there, which caused Gage's death. He tells Louis the story of a local named Bill Baterman, who buried his young son Timmy in the Miꞌkmaq ground after he was killed near the end of World War II. Timmy returned as a malevolent entity, terrifying the townsfolk. A group of men including Jud tried destroying Timmy by lighting the Baterman house on fire, only for Bill to perish with Timmy. Jud insists that the burial ground is evil and Louis must not bury Gage there, adding that "sometimes, dead is better".

 

After the funeral, Rachel and Ellie leave for Chicago while Louis stays behind, ostensibly to take care of loose ends. Despite Pascow and Jud's warnings, Louis exhumes Gage's body and buries him at the ritual site. In Chicago, Pascow appears to Ellie in a dream and warns her that Louis is about to do something terrible. Rachel is unnerved by Ellie's dream but can only reach Jud when she calls, who tells her Louis is not home. She decides to return to Maine, much to Jud's alarm.

 

That night, the reanimated Gage returns home and steals a scalpel from Louis' bag. He taunts Jud before murdering him. Rachel returns home and is lured into Jud's house by the specter of her dead sister Zelda Goldman, only to discover that she is actually seeing Gage, holding a scalpel. In shock and disbelief, Rachel reaches down to hug Gage and he kills her.

 

Waking up from his sleep, Louis notices Gage's muddy footprints in the house and finds his scalpel missing. Receiving a phone call from Gage that he has "played" with Jud and Rachel, he fills three syringes with morphine and heads to Jud's house. Encountering Church, he kills the cat with an injection before entering the house. After Louis finds Jud's body under his bed, Gage taunts him further and Louis is startled by Rachel's body hanging from the attic before Gage attacks him.

 

After a brief battle, Louis overpowers Gage and injects him with the morphine syringe. He then lights Jud's house on fire, leaving it to burn as he carries Rachel's body to the burial ground. Pascow appears and warns Louis not to "make it worse", but Louis, grief-stricken to the point of insanity, believes that he waited too long when he buried Gage, but burying Rachel "will work this time". That night, Rachel returns to Louis and they embrace. Rachel takes a large knife from the counter, and the screen cuts to black before Louis screams.

The Ring


 

Teenage girls Katie and Becca discuss an urban legend about a cursed videotape that causes whoever views it to die a week later. That night, Katie, who viewed it one week ago with her friends, is killed by an unseen force.

 

At Katie's funeral, her mother Ruth asks her sister Rachel, a Seattle-based journalist, to investigate her daughter's death. Rachel discovers that Katie's friends all died in bizarre accidents at the same time as Katie's death. Rachel visits Shelter Mountain Inn, where Katie and her friends saw the tape. She finds and views the tape; it contains strange and frightening imagery. Immediately after viewing the tape, the room phone rings, and when she answers, the unknown caller whispers, "Seven days". Though initially skeptical, Rachel quickly begins to experience supernatural occurrences linked to the tape.

 

Rachel recruits the help of her video analyst ex-husband Noah. He views the tape and Rachel makes him a copy. She identifies a woman on the tape: horse breeder Anna Morgan, who killed herself after some of her horses drowned themselves off Moesko Island. Rachel and Noah's 8-year-old son Aidan watches the tape.

 

Rachel heads for Moesko Island to speak to Anna's widower Richard; on the way, a horse aboard the ferry kills itself by jumping overboard. Rachel discovers that Anna, after four consecutive miscarriages, had adopted a young girl named Samara, who possessed the ability to psychically etch images onto objects and into people's minds, tormenting her parents and their horses. Meanwhile, Noah travels to Eola Psychiatric Hospital and finds a psychiatric file on Samara, which contains a missing video last seen by Richard.

 

Returning to the Morgan home, Rachel finds a fake birth certificate proving that Samara is not the biological child of Richard and Anna. She also discovers the missing video, where Samara apologizes for her actions but explains that "they won't stop". Richard insists that Samara is evil and electrocutes himself. Noah and Rachel find a loft in the barn, which the Morgans used to isolate Samara from themselves and the outside world. There is an image of a tree behind the wallpaper; Rachel recognizes it as a tree at the Shelter Mountain Inn.

 

They return to Shelter Mountain Inn, led to a well beneath the floorboards. Rachel falls inside and experiences a vision of Anna dumping Samara into the well, where she survived for one week. Samara's body surfaces from the water. After Rachel is rescued, they arrange a proper burial for Samara.

 

Back home, Aidan warns Rachel that it was a mistake to help Samara. Rachel realizes that Noah's week is up; Samara's ghost crawls out of his TV screen and kills him. Rachel realizes that Samara’s apology was actually a confession and that she was only spared since she made a copy of the cursed video and passed it to Noah, fulfilling Samara's goal of killing endlessly. She helps Aidan make a copy of the tape and refuses to answer his question on what would happen to the person who watches it.

Hannibal [US] (2001)


 

Ten years after the death of serial killer Jame Gumb and the escape of cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter,[b] FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling is blamed for a botched drug raid that resulted in five deaths.

 

The event attracts the attention of Mason Verger, Lecter's only surviving victim. A wealthy child molester, Verger was paralyzed and disfigured by Lecter and has been scheming to torture and kill him ever since. Using his wealth and political influence, Verger has Starling reassigned to Lecter's case, hoping her involvement will draw out Lecter from hiding. He is aided by corrupt Justice Department official Paul Krendler, who is upset that Starling refused to sleep with him.

 

After learning of Starling's disgrace, Lecter sends her a letter; he is hiding in Florence under the false identity of library curator "Dr. Fell." A perfume expert identifies the fragrance on the letter: skin cream with unusual ingredients available in only a few shops. Krendler sexually propositions Starling again, implying that he can save her career, but she rebuffs him.

 

Florentine policeman Rinaldo Pazzi questions Lecter about the death of Dr. Fell's predecessor. When Starling asks Pazzi for a local fragrance shop's security footage, Pazzi realizes Dr. Fell is Lecter. To claim Verger's $3 million bounty for Lecter, Pazzi agrees to help Verger's men kidnap Lecter without police involvement. However, Lecter subdues Pazzi and forces him to confess. Lecter then disembowels Pazzi and hangs him from the balcony of the Palazzo Vecchio.[c]

 

Verger bribes Krendler to frame Starling for hiding evidence against Lecter, leading to her suspension. Lecter summons Starling to Washington Union Station, where he encourages her to quit her job. However, Verger's men trail Starling and capture Lecter. Starling infiltrates Verger's estate, where she learns that Verger intends to feed Lecter alive to a herd of purpose-bred giant forest hogs. She frees Lecter from the boar pen but a guard shoots her. Lecter saves the wounded Starling from being attacked by the boars by picking her up and standing still, as the boars devour the bleeding guards. Verger orders Cordell, his physician, to shoot Lecter, but Lecter offers to take the blame if Cordell kills Verger instead. Cordell, who dislikes Verger, shoves him into the pen, where the boars eat him alive. Lecter carries an unconscious Starling to safety.

 

Starling awakens in Krendler's home, wearing an unfamiliar cocktail dress. Although Lecter has sedated her and Krendler, she has the presence of mind to call the police. She then finds Lecter preparing an elegant dinner, during which Krendler lobs misogynistic insults at her. He then insults Lecter's cooking. Lecter opens Krendler's skull, removes part of his brain, sautés it, and feeds it to Krendler. Although Lecter hopes to impress Starling by torturing her oppressor, she is horrified and attacks Lecter, but he overpowers and kisses her. She handcuffs their wrists together. Hearing the police arrive, Lecter raises a cleaver over her wrist, seemingly ready to maim her. However, the film cuts to Starling raising her hands, both intact, to meet the police. On a flight, Lecter, his arm in a sling, shares a piece of Krendler's brain with a curious boy, saying it is important to "try new things.”
