The first creepy trailer for the Pet Sematary remake is here!

I don’t care what the rest of you with your “floofs” say, I’ve maintained for a very long time that cats are pure evil. This is an opinion that is thoroughly backed up by all the completely most definitely 100% factual scientific evidence found in Stephen King’s classic 1983 horror novel Pet Sematary. Okay so maybe the novel also says that a bunch of other stuff are evil as well, but that cat, man. That cat!

If you haven’t read Pet Sematary or even seen the 1989 feature film adaptation of it and don’t know what I’m talking about, not to worry because as tends to happen in Hollywood, a brand new remake is on the way. This one stars Jason Clarke as the young doctor who relocates his family to King’s usual creepy stomping ground of Maine, where he befriends elderly neighbour Jud Crandall (John Lithgow). As Crandall soon shows the young family though, their house is uncomfortably close to a mass gravesite where all the local kids bury their dead pets (and practice their bad spelling). And if you somehow thought that would be a good idea, well then you’re clearly not familiar with the horror genre.

Check out the creepy first trailer for the new Pet Sematary below.

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 neighbor, Jud Crandall (John Lithgow), setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.

Pet Sematary is co-directed by Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch and written by Jeff Buhler (who is set to be the showrunner for Syfy’s upcoming horror science fiction series adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s Nightflyers). The film also stars Amy Seimetz, Hugo Lavoie, and Jeté Laurence. It is scheduled for release on 5 April 2019.

      Treat cats properly and they’re evil FOR you.
      It’s good to have some evil in your corner to call on every now and again.

        If I am honest, I had cats that I absolutely loved! But…they are dead and cannot be replaced, therefore I will not have another cat 🙁

        Other than that, the issue is “when you have a cat, the whole neighbourhood has a cat”. You cannot keep a cat indoors (unless you hate all animals you bastard), and you cannot keep it in your yard…

          Cats will always roam. But if you’ve raised them right, they always come home. They know where they are fed!

            Roam…home…you are a heretical poet and I did not even know it!

            They tend to pick up scars sometimes, especially if there is a squatter camp close by and everyone has these massive dogs in the neighbourhood…

            Or from other cats. My bro has to cats that live in constant fear of a huge ginger cat in the area.

            And me, as much as I’d love to get a cat, our large dog will eat it if it gets too close.

          You should meet my cats. They don’t go beyond the yard and they defend it like crazy. Had a few dead bunnies that the neighbors couldn’t be bothered to secure in their yard

            Yeah a proper cat owner, you can train cats to stay in your yard.

            Owned 2 with widely different personalities both stayed mostly indoors and always wandered no farther than the yard boundary
