Returning from the Grave
The dead are clawing their way back to the screen in the chilling Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. This eerie prequel arrives on October 6th, promising to unearth the origins of the Pet Sematary saga, inspired by the iconic Stephen King novel. In anticipation of this dark tale, the cast and crew joined forces to uncover the sinister story behind Pet Sematary: Bloodlines.
While the original novel primarily focused on a new family in Ludlow, Maine, this prequel will provide a richer backdrop not only for the town but also for the intriguing character, Jud Crandall. Producer Mark Vahradian reveals that delving into Jud’s early years was a natural choice for the prequel, considering his popularity among fans. Vahradian also sheds light on the decision to adapt a specific chapter from King’s novel, centered around the story of Timmy Baterman—a young man resurrected by the malevolent forces lurking in the cemetery.
David Duchovny, who plays Timmy’s father, Bill, describes Bloodlines as a “Frankenstein story.” However, the plot takes a dark twist due to its family-centric focus. Director Lindsey Anderson Beer poses a pivotal question that will linger long after the credits roll: “What would you risk to bring someone you love back to life?”
An Iconic Ensemble Cast
Leading the charge as the young Jud Crandall is Jackson White, supported by a talented ensemble including Forrest Goodluck, Natalie Alyn Lind, Jack Mulhern, and Samantha Mathis.
But what truly elevates Bloodlines to a must-watch horror event is its star-studded cast. David Duchovny, famous for his role in the classic sci-fi horror series The X-Files, has been a Hollywood mainstay for three decades, leaving his mark in productions like Aquarius and Californication. Pam Grier, celebrated for her groundbreaking performances in blaxploitation classics such as Coffy and Foxy Brown, and her role in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown, brings her seasoned talent to the film. Lastly, Henry Thomas, known for his pivotal role in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, continues to be a prominent figure in the sci-fi and horror realm, with numerous collaborations with jump-scare master Mike Flanagan, including Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House, and more.
