After the death of his wife, veterinarian Chase Matthews (Anthony Edwards) and his 13-year-old son Jeff (Edward Furlong) move to Ludlow to rebuild their lives. Antagonized by the neighborhood kids, Jeff befriends another outsider, Drew Gilbert, who lives in fear of his cruel stepfather Gus (Clancy Brown). After Gus cold-bloodedly shoots Drew's beloved dog, the boys bury the body in the local Indian burial grounds - a place rumored to have powers of resurrection. When evil is awakened, the boys realize that sometimes you should just led dead dogs lie. (official distributor synopsis)

Pet Sematary II isn't that bad of a movie. There are great, scary scenes here, especially with the dog coming to life, but also with the sheriff, yet the oppressive atmosphere that gripped me throughout the first film is simply missing. You simply know what's going to happen, and the film doesn't try to be surprising in any way. There are occasional quite gory scenes, or at least hints of gore. It still suits the film today.
