Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, the prequel to the 1989 classic, is set to premiere exclusively on Paramount+ this October. Ahead of its debut, I spoke with its director, Lindsey Anderson Beer, who created a great film, proving that she has a bright future in the horror genre.
Lindsey Anderson Beer makes her triumphant directorial debut with Pet Sematary: Bloodlines after beginning her career as a writer on projects such as the series “The Magic Order,” and the movie Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, as well as the upcoming movies Bambi, Short Circuit, and new Star Trek movie.
In Bloodlines, set in 1969, a young Jud Crandall has dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine, behind but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history. Banding together, Jud and his childhood friends must fight an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding and, once unearthed, has the power to destroy everything in its path.
Here’s what Beer had to say about the making of Pet Sematary and some of her other upcoming projects.
