The new prequel establishes some major mythology for the Stephen King world.
The Stephen King prequel film Pet Sematary: Bloodlines is now streaming on Paramount+, a project that has the difficult task of telling an unsettling story set within the iconic world of the original 1983 book that amplifies the effectiveness of that story without impacting the overall canon of that narrative.
In the original book, Timmy had been drafted for World War II, but in Bloodlines, the timeline has been shifted so he is instead drafted into the Vietnam War, where he was killed. The opening scenes of the movie show his father Bill burying Timmy in the cursed grounds, resulting in Timmy's resurrection.
As bizarre events begin to unfold around the town, Jud and another former friend Manny dig into the town's records to discover that, dating back to the first settlers entering the Maine lands, the ground was deemed"sour" and people would come back to life when buried in certain areas. Namely, a diary kept by Jud's father Dan offers insight and instructions on watching over the land for future generations.
Despite Dan and Bill both being killed in the film's deadly finale, Jud and Manny are able to kill Timmy and other figures who have been brought back to life, with Manny opting to abandon Ludlow in the wake of his sister's death, rebirth, and subsequent death.
