=== The book/movie provides examples of: ===
* [[Complete Monster]]: Human resurrectees of the burial ground are this. Psychotically violent, extremely sadistic, and fond of deranged [[Hannibal Lecture|Hannibal Lectures]] designed to further terrify and demoralize victims. By extent, if you believe that the burial ground is a [[Genius Loci]], it could qualify itself.
Line 9:
** "Mommy, I brought you something!"
** A more prosaic example, when Louis mulls over resurrecting Gage.

*** [[Unfortunate Implications]] most definitely into play here, as regardless of our supposed tolerance for the mentally disabled, the fear of having a disabled child is still an extremely potent source of HONF for most young parents.
*** [[Nightmare Retardant]] here for parents of profoundly disabled kids or other people who've worked with them. At least one reader's first thought here was, "He'll be able to master the first-grade primer at any point in his life? Good for him!"
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]
* [[Squick]]: Once again, all over the place
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Louis weeping and cradling Gage's deceased body, and when Louis weeps as he carries {{spoiler|Rachel's body to the burial ground, hoping she will come [[Back
** The scene, both in the movie and the book, where Louis and his father-in-law start to fight at {{spoiler|Gage's funeral}}, and ''knock over his coffin.''

* [[The Woobie]]: Ellie Creed. [[Tethercat Principle|At the end of the story]] she's sedated in the hospital, perhaps driven half-mad from unheeded psychic warnings, her brother is dead, {{spoiler|as is her mother, and her cat, and in the movie her father (though it's a given that he'll also die soon in the book)}}. And all this at the age of six...
** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Louis, who just won't learn his lesson about letting dead stay dead, but you can't help but pity him anyway.
*** Zelda, somewhat, too. She wasn't exactly nice, but she was a little girl in HORRIBLE PAIN and nobody could do anything about it.
** Rachel.

=== The sequel provides examples of: ===
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: Gus, post-resurrection. [[Clancy Brown]] hamming it up makes watching this worthwhile.
* [[Narm]]: Even more so than the first film.
** The death by potato scene in particular.
* [[Nausea Fuel]] / [[Nightmare Fuel]]: {{spoiler|Resurrected Renee's melting face at the end.}}
* [[Squick]]: It stays over from the original.
