The OG terrified me as a kid so I can't wait for this, looks very good!

For anyone unfamiliar with the story, it's a Stephen King novel:

Doctor Louis Creed moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall. After the Creeds' cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis' son, Gage, dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy's body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis' visions of a deceased patient.

Oh yay! Glad it's not a "Netflix Original", they're almost always crap when they're based on existing things.

Oh the original was really scary (probably not nowadays though)

It terrified me as a kid, my sister made me watch it when I was about 6ish and honestly I was bad for weeks

I re-watched the other month and it kind of hasn't aged well SFX-wise
