Pet Sematary: Bloodlines will be released by Paramount+ on Friday, October 6, 2023, in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Brazil. Meanwhile, the global premiere is set on October 7, 2023. Lindsey Beer’s supernatural horror film, written and directed by her, claims to bring to life Stephen King’s iconic book of the same name.
The 1983 horror book has been adapted twice for the big screen. The first time was in 1989, directed by Mary Lambert, and the second time was in 2019, directed by Kevin Kölsch. The 2023 adaptation serves as a prelude to the 2019 film Pet Sematary. According to IMDb’s summary of the forthcoming film,
“In 1969, a young Jud Crandall dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine, but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history that will forever bind him to Ludlow.” Jud and his boyhood pals must band together to confront an ancient evil that has possessed Ludlow since its inception and, if discovered, has the ability to destroy all in its path.”
Paramount Players and Di Bonaventura Pictures co-produced Pet Sematary: Bloodlines.

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines revisits the classic horror story.
Five Nights at Freddy’s, The Exorcist: Believer, and Saw X are among the horror films set to be released this year. Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, a prequel to the 2019 picture Pet Sematary, will be released on Paramount+, adding to the unsettling cinematic experience. Linsey Beer, best known for her work on Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018), will direct and co-write the cinematic adaptation with Jeff Buhler. Pet Sematary: Bloodlines transports viewers to Ludlow, Maine, where the tale is told with Jud at the center. Jackson White, well known for his role as Brendan Fletcher on Mrs. Fletcher, will portray a young Jud Crandall.
Jud’s part was initially performed as a supporting one by Fred Gwynne in the 1989 film and subsequently by John Lithgow in the 2019 film. Crandall, like every other young adult, aspires to escape his hometown in 1969. However, to his horror, he quickly understands the links between an evil ghost and his village and family. Jud collects his pals in an effort to free them from the demonic entity that has taken possession of them, but he is permanently connected to Ludlow.
