Revealing mistake: When Louis is trying to get Gage off him near the end of the movie, as he's struggling in a few shots you can plainly see it's not really Gage but a dummy made to look like him. Looks like a doll. (01:33:35)

Jud Crandall: How's your cat, Louis?
Louis Creed: It's Ellie's cat.
Jud Crandall: No. It's your cat now.
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.
