#TRAILERCHEST: The latest trailer for Pet Sematary sets us up for some major scares

They don’t come back the same…

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for Pet Sematary.

Plot’s it all about: Yes, we know that isn’t how cemetery is spelled, but kids spelled it that way for the sign in the movie, so here we are.

Based on the hit Stephen King novel (the one he thinks is the scariest one he has ever written), it was turned into a movie once before, almost exactly 30 years ago, but much like the stuff that gets buried in the movie, it has arisen once again. Which is why we had to give it a big mention in our 2019 Horror Movie Preview.

This is the second trailer, giving away a bit more (a bit too much?) of the plot, so watch it at your own mildly spoiler-y peril.

It tells the story of a happy family that move to an idyllic new home in a secluded part of Smalltown USA, with the only downside being a creepy wooded area with a load of dead animals buried it being a short walk away.

Following a family tragedy, things take a turn for the worse, and continue to get worse and worse. Thankfully, while the new trailer does give a little more of the plot away than we would’ve liked, it does look like they’ve managed to hold on to a lot of the scares.
