Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (2023)
Based on the terrifying 1983 novel by Stephen King, the prequel movie Pet Sematary: Bloodlines takes us back 50 years before the events of 2019’s Pet Sematary. In 1969, a young Jud Crandall is set to leave his hometown of Ludlow, Maine in search of his life’s purpose. Before he makes it out, however, Jud and his childhood friends encounter an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding.
Jackson White (Mrs Fletcher) stars as the young Jud, opposite the likes of Emmy nominee David Duchovny (The X Files, Californication) and Golden Globe nominees Henry Thomas (The Fall of the House of Usher, The Haunting of Hill House, Elliot in E.T.) and Pam Grier (Them, Jackie Brown).
Director Lindsey Anderson Beer co-wrote the script alongside Pet Sematary screenwriter Jeff Buhler.
