PET SEMATARY Teaser-1-Sheet_Cast-Cat_rgb smallDr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to rural Maine with their two young children. The couple soon discover a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near their new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his neighbor Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unspeakable evil with horrific consequences.

Based on Stephen King’s novel, previously filed in 1989 by director Mary Lambert, a new PET SEMATARY will premiere in theaters on April 5th from Di Bonaventura Pictures, released through Paramount Pictures. Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer (STARRY EYES, ABSENCE, SCREAM TV series, MAMA 2,), the film stars Jason Clarke (Louis), Amy Seimetz (Rachel), and John Lithgow (Jud Crandall).

The film is being scored by veteran genre composer Christopher Young (HELLRAISER, THE GRUDGE, DRAG ME TO HELL, SPIDER-MAN 3). This film will be Young’s second score for a movie based on a Stephen King novel – the previous score was for George A. Romero’s THE DARK HALF in 1993.

PET SEMATARY will have its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 17th 2019.
