Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

GL84 Moving to a small town, a doctor and his son learn that the local legend of an Indian burial ground works on more than just animals which soon turns into rather gruesome discoveries when several bodies need burying.This was an overall pretty decent if unspectacular effort that does have a few good parts about it. One of its good points is that there's some really enjoyable action scenes in the later half which is really quite fun as it really starts here with the policeman stepfather's resurrection. That brings along with it the rather enjoyable aspects such as the slow realization of his degenerative condition, the more violent and overt displays of aggression towards the rest of the family and finally the culmination of everything in the house-chase and resulting car-chase which is all really enjoyable and sets up the rest of the action later on. From the brawl in the house to the confrontation in the burning attic, these scenes are all rather fun and exciting and really make the best points for this one which is all pretty much found in the final half. Along with the blood and gore present throughout this, these are the film's good points which aren't enough to really overcome the various flaws within this. Among the more noticeable problems is the utterly ridiculous manner of accepting the locations powers and effects on everyone as the reaction to everything here is completely arbitrary. It's treated as if the reappearance of people who you have a personal hand in killing being up and acting as if nothing happened is a normal, everyday occurrence in town which doesn't generate any kind of special reaction or builds any suspense at all. That really affects the power of this pretty significantly as well as undermining the whole experience by keeping this one so relaxed about this very disturbing tactic in the film, as if it's not a big deal at all. That also shows up in the unbelievable manner of how those who interact with the resurrected as despite gaping and oozing wounds, a lack of life-like skin or eye-color and permanent cold skin no one catches on at all. The last flaw here is the actions within the finale, as the decision to resurrect the individual is quite illogical, the behavior of being supportive and on their side becomes quite troubling and then how easily this is abandoned makes this all quite confusing and flawed. These here are the film's biggest flaws which keep this down.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief Nudity, a brief sex scene, attempted Rape and several scenes of intense animal violence.

thelostone_2011 This was one of those movies I remember as a child that was laughable because the plot was terrible and the acting was plain awful. But I gave it a 4 because overall it was a good zombie movie. My favorite scene was when Gus who killed Zoey because he tried to kill his rabbits then when he dies and comes back he kills the rabbits. Pure irony. For those who hate the movie. Come on guys this isn't a Oscar worthy film. Its a horror film and that's just what you get. Enjoy it for what it is. And enjoy the bully get killed by his dirt bike. Stupid scarf, and only horror movie where someone died by a potato truck. So go out and watch this movie. Chances are you will hate it. But who knows you may enjoy it. Still not as bad as Reindeer Games.

Rich Wright It's not gonna win any Oscars or even be remembered a few days after you see it, but what you have here is a good, solid horror film with lots of nice, bloody deaths and a fine performance by one Clancy Brown as a nasty sheriff... who isn't much nicer before he's resurrected. It has it's fair share of silly scenes, but makes up for it never giving us a moment's peace once things get going... and the last part is one big slice 'n dice after another. It's a better film than it's predecessor, and I was pleasantly surprised how much it gripped me. Worth a look.Two final thoughts: 1: It's nice to someone who understands that when you THINK a person who tried to kill you is dead, it's better to shoot their corpse repeatedly just to make sure. And 2: What happened to the cute kitten that goes walkabout in the second half without any explanation, only to reappear for the obligatory happy ending? Get Poirot on it now... 6/10

Michael_Elliott Pet Sematary II (1992) ** (out of 4) This sequel to the box office hit isn't nearly as bad as its reputation would lead you to believe but it's still way too silly to be taken serious. After the death of his mother, a young boy (Edward Furlong) and his father (Anthony Edwards) move to the city of the first film. Once there he learns about the infamous Indian burial ground and his friend tries it out with his dog and when it works more people end up going there. PET SEMATARY II is a pretty stupid film from the word go and it just keeps getting dumber and dumber as it goes along. I think time has been somewhat friendly to the film because when you look back on it you realize that it's not nearly as bad as most of the horror films from this era (I know that's not a ringing endorsement). One of the biggest problems is that the film's pacing is just way too slow and at 100-minutes the film certainly drags in a lot of spots. I'm going to guess that most people watching this is going to know what happens when you bury something at the location so why the film drags everything out is beyond me. Once the horror elements do start we get some pretty silly stuff dealing with countless people being taken to the burial ground and after a while you really start to have many logical issues but that's a-whole-nother story. The performances from Furlong and Edwards are good enough but it's Clancy Brown who easily steals the film as a psycho sheriff. The gore level is fairly mild, although there's a memorable dog attack as well as a memorable scene involving a dirt bike. Mary Lambert does what she can with the story but it's clearly just meant as a way to cash in on the success of the first.
