Horror fans have plenty to look forward to this year and there is something for every taste. Among the offerings below, a new teaser trailer is included for the second adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel "Pet Sematary." We also see Lupita Nyong’o as the mother of a family that is threatened, well, by themselves.
A terrifying ghost comes back to steal children, while a couple takes in a baby anti-superhero from outer space and then there's Godzilla, back again and bigger and uglier than ever.
Watch the trailers for a selection of this year's horror movies below.
'Pet Sematary' - 5 April 2019
A new teaser trailer has been released for the upcoming new adaptation of Stephen King’s horror book “Pet Sematary.” It stars John Lithgow as the neighbour and Jason Clark and Amy Seimetz as the parents of two children who move to a country home close to a pet burial ground. The scary 15-second trailer briefly introduces us to Zelda, Rachel’s sister and while brief, definitely highlights the horror of the story. The words "sometimes dead is better" resound once again.
'Us' - 15 March 2019
Written and directed by Jordan Peele (“Get Out”), the cast includes Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss (“Handmaid’s Tale”), Winston Duke and Yahya Abdul-Mateen. The family goes on holiday at their beach house, but another family joins them – and they look exactly like them. It gets really terrifying when the doppelganger family attacks.
'The Curse of La Llorona' - 19 April 2019
Father Perez from the “Conjuring” spin-off film “Annabelle” has to battle the ghost of La Llorona in Los Angeles in the 1970s.

In a world of Marvel and superheroes, along comes “Brightburn” with the ultimate anti-superhero. A couple adopts a gifted child from outer space who arrives in the form of a baby boy.
