Pet Sematary II looks like a feature that quickly slipped out of Lambert's control, and she decided to drive the production into the ground out of spite.
An easy sequel to "dig"! A Hip Horror Film for Teens
A needless sequel, but a pretty good one all the same.
The first one was bad enough as is...
A movie that didn't need to made with a sequel that didn't need to made.

Audience Reviews for Pet Sematary Two
Super Reviewer
"Raise Some Hell."
Pet Sematary Two was surprising because it wasn't nearly as horrible as I thought it would be. It's still bad, but it has its entertaining parts. It doesn't make much sense to make a remake of Pet Sematary, but it happened, and it could have turned out much worse. Comparatively to the first one, it's not as creepy(and the first one wasn't that creepy).
This one has a whole lot going on when nothing is going on. The movie is weird, goofy and over the top. The plot is slightly more ridiculous than that of the first, but nothing new is really established; just more of it. Basically it's the first movie, but uses the end of the first movie and makes it pretty much the whole film. There are a lot more deaths and a lot more blood and the whole thing comes off as a mess.
It isn't scary and they try to make up for that by making it funny, when it should be scary. Sometimes it works to an extent, but most of the time it just comes off as annoying. There's a lot of family drama involved like in the original, but it isn't used as well and most of it just comes off as laughable.
What I did like about this more than the first was that the acting was better. I know that isn't saying that much. I liked Edward Furlong in his role as the grieving young kid. On a whole the movie isn't good at all. It makes no effort to stand apart from the first and really is just a bad sequel of a not so great horror film.

- Amanda Gilbert: (when Gus comes home as a zombie) God, you're cold as ice. And you smell bad, what did you get yourself into?
-
- Chase Matthews: The pathologist. He said that you had reported a similar incident, with a cat.
- Dr. Yolander: The Creed cat, that's right. Bastard's name was 'Church'. Let me guess. Your dog's tissue isn't healing, pupils aren't dilating, maybe you can't find a heartbeat?
- Chase Matthews: Exactly! I thought it might be some sort of blood condition, immune deficiency or...
- Dr. Yolander: There's no 'blood condition.' The dog isn't sick, it's dead. And so was Creed's cat. And so was his wife the night she was killed for the second time. You want some advice, friend? You get in your car, you pick up your family, and you get the hell out of that town.
-
- Clyde Parker: Ellie Creed was the only survivor. One night she went crazy and hacked up the grandparents and the cops found her licking the brains off the knife.
-
- Drew Gilbert: Picture this. Gus comes down to breakfast and he doesn't say a word. He even kind of smiles, like he forgot he hates me. And then you know what he does? He serves me an extra helping of pancakes. I asked him if I was still grounded, 'no.' I asked him if you could spend the night, and he nods. It's like we're a family. A real family.

- Clyde Parker: Hey, junior. Wanna play?

- Gus Gilbert: You bury your own.
