RE: Traumatized by Stephen King.
I watched it too. To me, there's a good message in it. Don't try to play God trying to bring back the dead.
As you mentioned, they might not be return as the same as what we knew them for. Even a living human coming back from somewhere can be altered by what they experienced.
Well, that message is very clear in the film. However, what I found most disturbing was the fact that there was a place in that town (the old Indian cemetery) that could bring the dead back to life. My God, who wouldn't want to do that? That's why the protagonist (the father), even though he knows that everything will go wrong, tries it anyway in the hope that everything will turn out differently. Believe me, there are many who would try it. And to top it off: knowing that everything went wrong with the child, he tries again with his wife because for us humans, hope is the last thing to die.
I think that this movie rather wanted to say that in some cemetery in the world the dead rise like sombies, they want to return home and they meet their relatives who received the surprise of a living dead person.
From there, so many films came out about cemeteries with corpses brought back to life.
What a writer's mentality!
