Final Pet Sematary Trailer Proves Dead Is Better

Some days dead is better, according to the Pet Sematary remake's movie poster. Soon after watching the final trailer before launch, we agree.


This particular trailer ratchets up the tension considerably, giving us a calm-before-the-storm moment as father Louis Creed (Jason Clarke) is bathing his daughter Ellie (Jeté Laurence). Everything is nice and regular, and then we visualize a couple of staples adorning the back of Ellie's head. Neat! Certainly nothing to worry about, right?


from then on, things only get creepier as we visualize Ellie before the moment she acquired mentioned staples, apparently having died in a vehicle crash. Turns out there's a "special place" out in the woods, of course, that can bring people (and animals) back to life. It's easy to find – just look for all of the children in animal masks walking in what usually be some order kind of ritualistic style. You can't miss it.


Creed and spouse Rachel (Amy Seimetz) start dealing with a procession of creepy events one immediately after another, with their neighbor Jud (John Lithgow) warns them about the Pet Sematary's eerie ability to return the dead to the land of the living. The disturbing mash-up of moments while in the trailer only serve to prove that any time while you find out about a graveyard where you bury things to bring them back life, you have to probably leave it well enough alone – or at the very least, don't bury your daughter there.


The remake of the 1989 film of the same name is another adaptation of a Stephen King story, and this attempt at bringing it to life looks especially terrifying – especially little Ellie, who usually be a fully different person since she was "brought back" from behind the grave.


Can't wait to be able to see how the new movie shakes out? Head into theaters on April 5, where you could watch it all unfold.
