Bloodlines fleshes out the backstory of the character of Jud Crandall, whose early experience with a haunted burial ground was briefly related in King’s book, but hasn’t previously been depicted in detail onscreen.

The official description: “In 1969, a young Jud Crandall has dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine, behind, but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history that will forever keep him connected to Ludlow. Banding together, Jud and his childhood friends must fight an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding, and once unearthed has the power to destroy everything in its path.”

The film is directed by Lindsey Anderson Beer from a script by Beer and Jeff Buhler.
