The first trailer for the new movie adaptation of Stephen King's Pet Sematary has arrived, and as expected it's pretty damn creepy.
Although it only gives us a taster of the horrors to come, the movie looks pretty chilling, as a newly arrived family get a taste of the horrors in the woods nearby their new home.
"Kids used to dare each other to go into the woods at night," says John Lithgow's neighbour Jud Crandall as we see a montage of animal-masked children.
"They knew the power of that place. They feared it, those woods belong to something else."
Cue a montage of horrific images as we learn that the pet cemetery in the woods is bringing dead things back to life.
"Sometimes dead is better," Crandall adds.
