The premise

Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, move from Boston to Ludlow, in rural Maine, with their two young children. Hidden in the woods near the new family home, Ellie, their eldest daughter, discovers a mysterious cemetery where the pets of community members are buried.

Horror Vault's take

When Dr. Louis Creed relocates his young family from Boston to a quiet stretch of rural Maine, the tranquility of their new home is shadowed by a foreboding patch of woodland and the burial ground hidden within it. Kindly neighbor Jud Crandall warns the Creeds of the area's long, strange history — but some secrets have a way of pulling people in regardless. Adapted from Stephen King's beloved novel, this remake leans into family trauma and mounting dread as the Creeds discover that the land around them carries a terrible price. What begins as an idyllic fresh start curdles into something deeply, irreversibly wrong.
