Sometimes One is Better..., 28 November 2007
5/10
Author: Jonny_Numb from Hellfudge, Pennsylvania

For sheer nostalgia value, "Pet Sematary Two" will always hold a place in my horror-lovin' heart, since it was one of the first R-rated movies my dad allowed me to rent. I watched this sequel before the original (and probably before I read Stephen King's source novel), and didn't know what to make of it 15 years ago...needless to say, I still don't know what to make of it. For a while, it's the kind of sick, taboo-pushing, grindhouse-style dreck that teeters toward a cult classic--up-close violence committed against animals and children(including kids who are presented as no less homicidal than sadistic sheriffs and zombie dogs), scored to a bevy of decent punk/metal tracks. Then Clancy Brown's portrayal of an all-purpose a*hole, reincarnated as a goofily homicidal zombie, wrecks any possible mood. This is the first thing I remember Edward Furlong doing after "Terminator 2," and is reflective of his subsequently erratic career, but he fares well, coming off as a cross between Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" and a more Emo version of young John Connor. Jared Rushton ("Honey I Shrunk the Kids"; "Big") disappeared after his decent portrayal of sadistic, King-styled bully here. And Anthony Edwards (complete with a Wes Craven beard) went on to "ER." The film isn't bad, and director Mary Lambert (returning from the original) keeps the gears turning, even when Richard Outten's script (seriously, WHY do they bury the bullying stepdad?) lapses in logic, but the emotional machinations of the climax don't work, simply because they hinge on a character we never really care about. And the ideas of King's original story are either muddled or shortchanged in the name of pushing the FX envelope (many of which still look good today), leaving "Pet Sematary Two" little more than a passable time-waster on your local video shelf.
