Pet Sematary: Bloodlines is set in 1969, when a young Jud Crandall has dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine behind, but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history that will forever keep him connected to Ludlow. Banding together, Jud and his childhood friends must fight an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding, and once unearthed has the power to destroy everything in its path. 

Directed by Lindsey Anderson Beer, in her directorial debut, with a script written by Beer and Jeff Buhler, the movie stars Jackson White (Tell Me Lies) Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), Jack Mulhern (Painkiller), Henry Thomas (The Fall of the House of Usher), Natalie Alyn Lind (The Gifted), Isabella Star LaBlanc (True Detective: Night Country), Samantha Mathis (Billions), with Pam Grier (Jackie Brown) and David Duchovny (The Craft: Legacy).

Author Stephen King has already shared his opinion on the adaptation: “In the book, this is the story Jud Crandall tells Louis Creed to try and dissuade him from using the Pet Sematary,” he Tweeted. “The screenplay takes a few liberties, but it’s a fine story. David Duchovny is excellent.

“The secret, as always, is caring about the characters.”

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines will premiere on Saturday 7 October on Paramount+ UK & Ireland
