PET SEMATARY 3: THE ROOTS OF EVIL (2026)
Sometimes dead isn’t the worst thing waiting in the ground.
The cursed soil of Ludlow calls once again in Pet Sematary 3: The Roots of Evil, a chilling new chapter inspired by the terrifying world first introduced in Pet Sematary. The woods are quieter than ever. Too quiet. And beneath that silence, something ancient is breathing.
Welcome Back to Ludlow
Horror veterans Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga lead the cast as Dr. Daniel Harper and his wife Claire, a couple shattered by personal tragedy and desperate for a new beginning. Hoping distance will dull their grief, they relocate to a beautifully restored farmhouse on the outskirts of Ludlow — unaware that their land borders something far older than the town itself.
They are told stories, of course. Whispers of children’s laughter in the woods. Of animals that don’t stay buried. Of a path marked by twisted branches leading to forbidden ground.
But grief has a way of clouding judgment.
The Ground Has Memory
When strange occurrences begin — doors creaking open at night, footprints where no one has walked, voices calling from beyond the treeline — Daniel’s scientific certainty begins to fracture. Claire feels it first: the land is not simply cursed. It is alive.
Featuring Jaeden Martell and Isabelle Fuhrman in pivotal roles, the story dives deeper into the mythology of the burial ground. This time, the horror isn’t just about what comes back.
It’s about what never left.
As the roots of an ancient evil spread beneath their home, the Harper family faces an unbearable temptation — the same one that has claimed others before them. The promise of reunion. The illusion of healing. The lie that death can be undone without consequence.
A Psychological Descent
Blending slow-burning dread with shocking supernatural terror, The Roots of Evil explores the darkest corners of grief, guilt, and obsession. The forest looms larger. The soil grows restless. And the line between love and madness begins to disappear.
Because in Ludlow, resurrection is never a miracle.
It’s a bargain.
And the ground always collects its debt.
