I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a grisly-gory follow-up to the original Stephen King adaptation, with director Mary Lambert returning for a second helping of reanimated hijinks. I'm not sure why she bothered – it's clear that this is a cash-in sequel through and through, with a threadbare plot devoid of real characters and no real effort made other than to roll out content we already saw in the first movie.The plot is simplicity in itself. Eddie Furlong and Anthony Edwards move to the original's small town, and pretty soon a friend's dog gets killed and is brought back to life in the sinister pet cemetery. Before long, folk start dying, and the focus is on horror and suspense sequences: family members stalked by a sinister zombie, nightmarish scenes of nude women with dog's heads, burning set-pieces, and brutal murders. Between such events, there's nothing going on, leaving us just to sit back and wait for the next gross-out. The FX are all of those rubbery early '90s look, with bodies being drilled, people made up with bloody torn wounds and a general air of menace and decrepitude. One of the stand-out scenes involves a kid having his head pulled into a revolving motorbike tyre, but this was copied from and done better in the '80s slasher film, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.The cast has a few fairly recognisable faces in it. Edward Furlong was straight out of TERMINATOR 2, so he's the instant draw for 99% of viewers. Anthony Edwards soon went on to stardom in TV series E.R., so many will also know him. Clancy Brown is a B-movie favourite (ever since playing the Kurgen in the original HIGHLANDER), and he's well cast as the villain of the piece, complete with a throaty chuckle and a line in the blackest comedy. There's a little role for Darlanne Fluegel, too, but that's about it. To be fair, there isn't a great detail here that I hadn't seen before. The only part I liked was the chase leading up to the potato truck scene, which I thought was well handled and genuinely surprising. Other than that, it's par for the course, an amalgamation of unstoppable villains, ghostly apparitions, bullies and death.

PS2 is a sequel I like, nastier than the first, some thanks to some really unpleasant characters, one being a teen bully, Clyde, a standout performance, while another originally bad dude who's possessed, is that of local copper, Clancy Brown. It has shocking and refreshing catalyst, where Furlong's star Mum (Fluegel) is horribly electrocuted at the start, so Furlong and Dad, (Edwards (Top Gun-Goose) a vet- what a coincidence move to the wrong town, where the story of the original is redone, but a spin has been put on it. Furlong making a new friend, tries to resurrect his cat on an Indian burial ground, and guess what happens. More violent than the first, again there's a not so happy ending, but I so like this nastier film, where Brown and Clyde, are unforgettable. For fans of the first, PS 2 is a good sequel, that really works, and should not be overlooked.

Jeff (Edward Furlong) loses his famed-actress mother Renee Hallow in a movie set accident. He is forced to move with his father Chase Matthews (Anthony Edwards) to their summer home away from L.A. New housekeeper Marjorie Hargrove (Sarah Trigger) is also a fan of Renee. Chase reopens the rundown animal hospital. Gus Gilbert (Clancy Brown) is the local sheriff and Renee's high school boyfriend. His stepson Drew is Jeff's only friend. Jeff gets picked on by bully Clyde Parker (Jared Rushton) and his friends who direct him to the Pet Sematary.This could easily be dismissed as ready for burial. The script is derivative. None of the characters are compelling. I like Edward Furlong but he's not enough. Jared Rushton's bully character is really one-dimensional and annoying. Same goes for the great Clancy Brown. He's capable of so much more. As a horror, it's not scary. This is a weak B-movie.

OK now i know that a lot of people hated this movie but i thought it was good i prefer to watch this one compared to the original one if i am honest. Anyway acting could have been better storyline was more or less kind of the same (people and animals die are buried then come back)the movie does flaw in places but then again no movie is perfect. I also found that this one was easier to follow than the first one was so with that being said i would rate this movie a 7 out of 10. And apparently i have to write 3 more lines ummm cant really think of anything to say but i think that its pretty stupid you should just be able to write what you want then post in instead of having to drag it out for 10 lines.
