Warning: The following contains major spoilers for Pet Sematary (2019) and Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023).
In the Master of Horror’s vast collection, few stories cast a shadow so dark as Pet Sematary. Stephen King’s 1983 novel follows Louis Creed and his young family as they fall victim to the grim shadow of death lurking in the woods behind their new house. When the family’s cat Church dies, their friendly neighbor Jud Crandall leads Louis past the charming Pet Sematary deeper into the forest to a burial ground where the dead don’t rest easy. As darkness creeps closer, Louis’s young son Gage becomes the busy road’s next victim and the grieving father attempts to harness whatever power lies beyond the Pet Sematary to reverse the terrible tragedy threatening to destroy his life.

Warning: Big spoilers for both the original and new versions of Pet Sematary ahead!
After watching the trailer for the Pet Sematary reboot a few months back, we were shocked to discover that the studio decided to give away a major twist that explains both of the horror flicks' chilling taglines: "Sometimes dead is better" and "They don't come back the same."
In this new adaptation of Stephen King's 1983 novel, directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer decided to change a major component of the original story. This time around, the young son of the Creed family isn't the one who dies - it's his older sister.
To give you some background, the film follows Louis Creed (Jason Clarke), who moves into a sprawling rural home with his wife, Rachel (Amy Seimetz), and their two young children, 8-year-old Ellie (Jeté Laurence) and toddler Gage (twins Hugo Lavoie and Lucas Lavoie). Not long after they arrive,...

As an entertainment journalist, there are certain movie and TV series titles that make my job harder than others. Jordan Peele's recently released Us, for example. Netflix's You is another one. Despite being short and simple, it makes writing headlines a little bit of a pain. But the latest contender is annoying for a reason that should become immediately clear as soon as you lay eyes on it: Pet Sematary. Why, oh why, is it spelled like that?!

The hottest trend in horror right now is Stephen King, and specifically, remakes of some of his seminal works. Most recently, It was a box office smash, which got the ball rolling. Now, we have a new Pet Sematary on our hands. A more efficient updating of the original film, it also makes enough changes to the story that we’re not just watching the exact same narrative play out over again. Bleak, creepy, and effective enough to recommend, it’s also not nearly as good as the early buzz out of SXSW this year suggested. It’s a decent fright flick but that’s about it. The movie is, of course, a remake of the adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same name. The Creed family is looking for a slower paced life as they relocate to a small town in rural Maine from their busy Boston life.

There’s something somewhat hypocritical in remaking a horror yarn about the perils of not leaving something well enough alone. Much like Jason Clarke’s Louis Creed, Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s Pet Sematary disregards any red flags or warning signs to bring the long-gestating Stephen King (re)adaptation back from the dead. The result of this abandon is a sincere examination of grief, coupled with enough knowing, ghoulish fun to not only justify its existence, but also serve as a delightful terror-delivery system.
On an exodus from Boston to their new home in Ludlow, Maine, the Creeds acclimate to the town’s quieter comforts, only to (surprise!) discover that their home is adjacent to a local burial ground for deceased pets. Upon the untimely demise of their cat Church, their elderly neighbor Jud (an excellent John Lithgow) introduces Louis to the burial ground’s darker benefits–resurrecting the dead.

After a batch of unnerving photos from the new Pet Sematary remake were released a while back, we have the latest (and final) trailer for the horror film to obsess over. Directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer introduce us to the members of the Creed family, who move into a new home that just so happens to be located next to a small woodland cemetery for pets. What they don't realize - at least not at first - is that the land allows the creatures buried there to come back from the dead. When tragedy strikes, the family pushes the powers of the cemetery to the extreme.
Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz star as Louis and Rachel Creed, who are parents to young Ellie (Jeté Laurence) and Gage (twins Hugo Lavoie and Lucas Lavoie). John Lithgow is also on board as their kinda-creepy, kinda-wise next door neighbor, Jud Crandall, who...

This Pet Sematary article contains major spoilers.
Stephen King once called the brutal 1983 novel Pet Sematary his scariest book, and in this new age of King adaptations, that means this dark story gets a remake. A modern retelling of the book King wrote in 1978 and then shoved into a drawer because he thought it was too grim (even for him!), Pet Sematary checks off several of our favorite horror tropes: spooky houses, killer kids, conniving cats, ancient burial grounds, and lots of murder. Needless to say, we quite liked the movie.

What if your favorite pet died and you buried it in a place where it could come back to life? It’d maybe be a little different — and definitely a lot scarier — but hey, it’s still your beloved pooch, kitty or tweety bird, right? Bonus question: What if the same applied to humans? That was the premise of Stephen King’s hair-raising 1983 novel, a fan favorite that never achieved the above-the-board status of, say, The Shining or Carrie. (Even the author himself thought the book was way too dark.

"If you cheat death, there's a price to be paid." Following Heather Wixson's 4-star SXSW review of Pet Sematary, we can't wait for readers to see the new adaptation of Stephen King's 1983 novel, and ahead of its release this Friday, Paramount has unearthed a chilling new trailer.
Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, and written by Jeff Buhler (based on King's novel), Pet Sematary stars Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, Jeté Laurence, Hugo & Lucas Lavoie, and John Lithgow. Paramount Pictures will release Pet Sematary in theaters on April 5th, 2019.

For their cinematic adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer perfectly tap into all the inherent darkness that exists on the pages of King’s popular novel, but then the duo completely circumvents any and all expectations of where things are headed as they build towards the film’s jaw-dropping final moments, and I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I think the ending of Pet Sematary (2019) is a much stronger gut punch than what we get from King’s book. Blasphemy, I know, but if you didn’t think aspects of this story could possibly get any darker than they already were, both Kölsch and Widmyer are here to prove you wrong, and I was absolutely thrilled with the results.
Most of Pet Sematary (2019) follows along with the familiar beats of the novel: Doctor Louis Creed (Jason Clarke) decides to move his wife,...

Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s Pet Sematary flips the Creed family narrative, breathes delectable darkness and while Act I takes its time building backwoods tension, once the tale’s famed “incident” occurs, it’s all-aboard this speeding vessel into an undead abyss. Stephen King adaptations are thriving as of late – It and Gerald’s Game, off the top of my head – and Pet Sematary does the prolific suspense author proud. Some might balk at the “switched” narrative, but there’s so much more to embrace about a rebirthed ballet-dancing daughter and Rachel Creed’s bolstered presence. And that’s all on top of the fact that Kölsch and Widmyer *earn* their jump scares.
Sometimes dead is better – but this mean-spirited remake isn’t one of those instances.
We pick up with the Creed clan having just moved to sleepy Ludlow, Maine as an escape from Boston’s hectic madness.

In Stephen King’s “Pet Sematary,” the big-city Creed family moves to rural Maine, inadvertently buying a plot of land that includes an ancient Indian burial ground. If you inter a beloved feline correctly in the creepy pet cemetery behind their house, it’s liable to come back … different. Same goes for cadavers of the non-cat variety — including humans hit by passing traffic. So goes the “Be careful what you wish for” premise of what many consider to be the horror writer’s scariest novel.
Of the 70-odd theatrical adaptations of the King’s oeuvre to date, maybe a dozen actually deliver. Amid that hit-and-miss filmography, the 1989 reanimated-animals chiller ranks among the most effective big-screen translations of the prolific author’s work. That earlier nightmare-inducing version of “Pet Sematary” isn’t so much remade as resurrected in co-directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s 30-years-later take, a mostly faithful cover...

“Pet Sematary” was and remains one of Stephen King’s most devastating horror novels — a meditation on grief, guilt, and the distinct way the two are intrinsically linked. King almost didn’t release his novel; his wife Tabitha and his friend Peter Straub thought it was too upsetting, and so it sat on a shelf until King needed a novel to complete his contract with Doubleday. In 1983, “Pet Sematary” was released, and just six years later it hit the mainstream with a film directed by Mary Lambert. Almost 30 years after Lambert’s film, directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer (“Starry Eyes”) have collaborated on a new adaptation of King’s novel that succeeds in some areas where the 1989 version failed while ultimately failing to deliver an ending that resonates as deeply as its source material.

One of the creepiest parts about the titular location in the new Pet Sematary (based on Stephen King's novel of the same name) is its backstory. Maintained by grieving children wearing all-too-real animal masks, the Pet Sematary is filled with graves that have the haunting look of being made by young hands. There are tombstones carved out of old milk jugs and weathered wood, and there's a certain kind of dark magic that hangs in the air. It's truly a hair-raising place, and you can get a sense of that spine-tingling atmosphere in a new 3D photo from the film that features a group of children on their way to the Pet Sematary.
Shared on the official Pet Sematary Facebook page on Halloween, the new 3D photo can be viewed below, and the funeral procession seemingly comes to life when you hover your arrow above the photo.

Sometimes, as Stephen King’s memorable line from Pet Sematary goes, dead is better. But fans of his super creepy 1983 novel – and the ’89 movie adaptation – will be happy to see that in King’s world anyway the famous warning typically goes unheeded.
Back for more adventures in dead-cat babysitting, Pet Sematary, from Paramount, doesn’t hit theaters until next spring, but this new trailer tells King aficionados what they want to know. Such as? That deadly highway, with its creature-killing speeding trucks, remains dangerously close to the new family home of a young couple and their two adorable kids.

Back for more adventures in dead-cat babysitting, Pet Sematary, from Paramount, doesn’t hit theaters until next spring, but this new trailer tells King aficionados what they want to know. Such as? That deadly highway, with its creature-killing speeding trucks, remains dangerously close to the new family home of a young couple and their two adorable kids. And their crusty seen-it-all neighbor still has all the words of warning anyone needs to ignore to keep loved ones — four-legged or otherwise — near if not dear.

The first trailer for “Pet Sematary” is just as creepy as you’d expect with kids in animal masks parading through an overgrown wood to the sound of a toy drum.
Based on one of Stephen King’s hit novels, “Pet Sematary” follows a doctor and his family who move next to a pet cemetery in the countryside, only to discover that the cemetery brings back anyone or anything buried on its grounds in a malicious, decrepit state.
Despite this, the doctor attempts to use it to resurrect his son after he’s killed in a car accident, to horrifying results.
As John Lithgow says in the trailer’s voiceover, “Sometimes dead is better.”

“Sometimes dead is better.” Like worms wriggling in the soil of a freshly dug grave, those words first burrowed into the psyches of horror fans back in 1983 with the publication of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary—arguably his most unnerving work put to print (it certainly has my vote). Those same four words dug deeper into viewers’ brains in 1989 when the first Pet Sematary film burned an indelible mark on the big screen. Now, nearly three decades after Zelda’s creepy cackle haunted our nightmares, Paramount Pictures is taking us back to the place where the ground is sour with the trailer for new Pet Sematary film. Over the summer, Daily Dead was invited to join a group of journalists on the set of Pet Sematary in the Québec countryside—you could call it “Jud Crandall country”—outside of Montreal, where we witnessed the craft and care that goes into...

Thanks to EW, we have our first look at the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. There are seven photos here for you to look at that feature Jason Clarke as Dr. Louise Creed, John Lithgow as Jud Crandall, Amy Seimetz as Rachel, and of course, that damn evil cat, Churchill.
The movie is being directed by Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kölsch, who are best known for the 2014 horror-satire film Starry Eyes. This is the synopsis for Pet Sematary:

Just in time for us all to relearn how to properly spell Pet Sematary, another onscreen adaptation of the Stephen King classic has been given the green light. Variety reported back in October that Paramount is moving forward with a reboot of the 1989 film (based on King's 1983 horror novel) with directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer at the helm.
The duo previously directed the gory, moody indie horror movie Starry Eyes in 2014, so capturing the relentlessly creepy vibe of Pet Sematary should be right up their alley. The story follows a family who moves into a new home that just so happens to be next to a small woodland cemetery for pets, which allows the creatures buried there to come back from the dead. When tragedy strikes, the family pushes the powers of the cemetery to its extreme. So far the cast includes Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz as Louis and Rachel Creed,...
