“Louis Creed and his wife Rachel move their two children into a home and soon learn there is a creepy Pet Sematary near their property, where legend has it that animals buried there come back to life. It starts with their cat being run over, and brought back, and it gets much worse when the reanimation attempt turns to humans, who don’t come back exactly as they were before.”
Jason Clarke who played in the recently released horror flick Winchester, will be starring as Louis Creed. Alongside Clarke is the versatile film veteran John Lithgow.
For readers who may be unfamiliar with the plot of the 1983 horror classic Pet Sematary, Lewis Creed moves his family to a home that is located right beside a highway.

As the beloved family pet dies, the father decides to try to comfort the family by burying the cat in the Pet Sematary. It works in the worst way possible, if that isn’t creepy enough. When the main character’s son Gage is hit and killed by a truck, the boys grief-stricken father buries his remains in the Pet Sematary, creating an adorable and yet murderous monster.
John Lithgow will bring his many years of acting talent, to what is sure to be an amazing remake of a creepy classic.
