Being not short on praise or success, horror maestro Stephen King probably doesn’t need a “renaissance,” but that’s exactly what he’s getting lately. Thanks to the likes of 2017’s box office smash IT, a host of King adaptations are in the works, and next to land is a readaptation of the ‘80s cult classic, Pet Sematary.

Despite being one of his campier tales, the novel’s themes of parental grief and community secrets leave plenty of fertile ground for a darker imagining. King himself has gone on record stating that of all the novels he has written, Pet Sematary is the one which genuinely scared him the most.

With a great cast including Jason Clarke, The Killing’s Amy Seimetz and veteran powerhouse John Lithgow, this fresh take on beloved tale will once more prove that “sometimes dead is better.”
