A final trailer has been released for "Pet Sematary," the much-buzzed-about film adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel of the same name.

The film stars Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, First Man) and Amy Seimetz (Netflix's Stranger Things, Alien: Covenant) as a medical doctor and his wife with two young children who have just moved from the big city to a small rural town in Maine. They soon discover they are living near an old, secluded pet graveyard -- a mysterious burial ground where animals inexplicably come back from the dead.

Despite repeated warnings from their next-door neighbor (played by Emmy-winner John Lithgow), the grief-stricken doctor uses the burial site to bring back a recently dead loved one, only to realize that no one ever comes back the same. "Sometimes dead is better."

Horror filmmaking duo Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, who has earned accolades for their 2014 Hollywood-set chiller "Starry Eyes," directed the film from a script by horror scribe Jeff Buhler (The Midnight Meat Train, Syfy's Nightflyers).

Set to open in theaters this week, beginning Thursday night, "Pet Sematary" is the second film version of King's novel, and is said to be a more faithful adaptation than the 1989 cult horror movie.
