Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Frances180 The previous review by Insam777 is perfectly stated. The whole delusional grunge youth of the 90's and overall dark tone of this film is very appealing. The movie lacks atmosphere and originality, true, but all in all is a fun watch and the soundtrack is very impressive (hello, 90s!) =)
Rainey Dawn This one is better than one would guess it to be... can be funny at times, scary at other times - makes for good horror entertainment.There are some good actors in this movie - the two that play real jerks in the film: Clancy Brown as Gus and Jared Rushton as Clyde and do a real good job at getting you to hate their jerky characters!! Very good performances. As for the rest of the cast: Good performances again!! I'm very happy with all of the actor's skills in the film! The story is what's slacking just a wee bit from the original film but I do find this film entertaining!! It's fun to watch! I pulled out a few films tonight and let my kitten touch the one film to watch this afternoon... this is film she touched with her paw so it's the one we watched first today. I laughed when the first scary music came out of the speakers because she ran up my belly and hugged up against my neck! I knew we'd have fun watching this one together and it was very delightful!! 7/10
SnoopyStyle 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.
gavin6942 The ancient Indian cemetery with the power to raise the dead returns and influences the lives of new residents.I must say, good or bad, I am glad director Mary Lambert returned for the sequel. As the first was her creation, it seems only fitting to let her take the characters and concepts where she wants to go with them. Had another director handled it, the film could have lost any flavor of the original that might exist. (There is some similar tone and such, which I think keeps it a strong sequel.) I love the young Edward Furlong (during his career peak) and Anthony Edwards with a beard. Great casting that keeps this film relevant even if it carried over pretty much nobody from the original. (I say "pretty much" because I think it has no one, but a minor character might have made it past me.)The film as a whole has received negative reviews, but the fact is that the original really is not that great. Although a modern classic, and a pop culture gem, it is not actually a critically good film. So the sequel by horror standards is not bad -- it actually maintains the level of the original.
