Synopsis
A liberal dose of humor is lumped in with the horror in this sequel to the 1989 hit based on Stephen King's novel. Edward Furlong is Geoff, the new kid in a small Maine town, whose veterinarian father has relocated after the death of his wife. After a friend's dog is killed, Geoff and the boy discover and make use of a "sematary" with the power to reanimate the dead. It isn't long before dead people are placed in the special soil and the boys have some true, gory problems on their hands.

Critics' reviews
- "It isn't often in Hollywood that a director gets the chance to go back and essentially remake a failed film but Lambert, refusing to let sleeping cadavers lie, gets the job done this time"
- "'Pet Sematary Two' follows the usual horror movie pattern: The first half is a pleasure, because you know what has to happen and you can't wait. And the second half is a bore"
- "Mary Lambert, who directed the original Pet Sematary, has returned for the sequel, which, like its forerunner, is much better at special effects than at creating characters or telling a coherent story."
