is a film based on Pet Sematary by Stephen King. It is a prequel to the 2019 film remake of Pet Sematary. The film was released on Paramount+ on October 6, 2023.
Ludlow, Maine, 1969 – The voice of a young Jud Crandall (Jackson White) talks about how the Pet Sematary was where he and many other learned about death. Originally used by the Mi’kmaq tribe to call upon animal spirits to ward off evil, it became used by the town’s inhabitants to bury their loved ones for more time with them, as the evil in the woods whispered and manipulated them.
A farmer named Bill Baterman (David Duchovny) drags the body of his son Timmy Baterman (Jack Mulhern), who was killed in the Vietnam War, down into the Pet Sematary. After some hesitation, Bill buries Timmy in the dirt. Moments later, their pet dog Hendrix senses something and digs near Timmy’s grave, where a hand bursts out and grabs the dog.
Jud lives with his parents Dan Crandall (Henry Thomas) and Kathy Crandall (Samantha Mathis), and is dating a young woman named Norma (Natalie Alyn Lind). He is set to leave Ludlow to join the Peace Corps in Michigan, which would make it the first time a Crandall has left Ludlow. While going into town with Norma, Jud runs into Bill and finds a photo of himself as a kid with Timmy and another local young man, Manny Rivers (Forrest Goodluck), who lives nearby with his sister Donna (Isabella LaBlanc) and also has aspirations for leaving Ludlow. Bill makes it seem like Timmy has been honorably discharged and has returned home.
At night, Jud joins Dan at the ice rink for one last hangout before he leaves. Outside, Mayor Hannibal Benson (Matt Holland) and Officer Marjorie Washburn (Pam Grier) discuss the open grave that was found in the Pet Sematary.
The next day, Jud and Norma head off for their trip, but they are stopped short when a crow crashes into Jud’s windshield. They then find Hendrix in front of the car, looking filthy and growling at them. They walk the dog back to the Baterman house, where they see Timmy for the first time behind the window. He tells Jud of the horrors he has seen in war, moments before Hendrix runs up and bites Norma’s arm, causing a bloody wound. Jud gets the dog off and takes Norma to the hospital.
Manny and Donna smoke a joint in the crops outside their house as they discuss leaving Ludlow. Manny appears to hear noises from deep in the crops and sees blood dripping off a sunflower before he trips and impales his hand on a large thorn.
