Based on King’s classic 1983 horror novel, the book was first adapted for the big screen in 1989, before getting a 1992 sequel.
Now after the incredible success of the IT remake last year, Pet Sematary is back with its first trailer.
The creepy footage introduces Jason Clarke as Louis Creed, a doctor who moves to the country with his family.
However, he soon discovers they’ve moved near a pet cemetery that is built upon an ancient burial ground.
Louis’ toddler is killed in an accident, where he’s buried in the same cemetery – however, the boy is soon resurrected in a demonic form.
Meanwhile, John Lithgow also stars as Jud Crandall, a neighbour of Louis’ who he turns to when events turn dark.
The official synopsis reads: “Based on the seminal horror novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed (Jason Clarke), who, after relocating with his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family’s new home.
“When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his unusual neighbour, Jud Crandall (John Lithgow), setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.”
Meanwhile, IT Chapter 2 has wrapped and is set to be released next year. The sequel is set 27 years after the events of the first film.
And according to the film’s screenwriter, the ending will break fans’ hearts.
Speaking with Slash Film, Gary Dauberman, he said: “No, this is a complete story.
“The ending I think will satisfy the audience and maybe break their hearts a little bit.”
The screenwriter also spoke about adapting certain scenes from the novel.
He continued: “Like I said with the first one, it’s really this embarrassment of riches.
“It was trying to do your best job of taking what Stephen King wrote so beautifully all those years ago and try to translate it to the script page.
“For me, it was just really fun to be able to revisit these characters and see what they’re up to 27 years later.”
Pet Sematary is released in UK cinemas on April 5, 2019.
