Skip: Pet Sematary

It's probably fair to say that Stephen King novels have a hit rate of around 50/50 when they're turned into movies. He's the undisputed king of the horror genre, but some of the out-there, fantasy inspired themes of his novels make them difficult to recreate for a film, and so some of the adaptations have fallen flat. 2019, however, looks like a big year for King.

As well as the second half of the 'IT' story, a remake of 'Pet Sematary' is out in cinemas on April 5th. We're thirty years removed from the original film, so this is a fresh take on the story for a new generation, starring John Lithgow, Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz. When a man buries his dead son in a pet cemetery built on ancient burial ground, all Hell breaks loose. Why would anyone think that was a good idea, though?
