when first saw pet cemetery ii i wasn not expect anything that would come close to the original and and i be right . first off the film isn not anything like the original the only thing remain from the first film be the pet cemetery all other aspect of the first that make it good have be change . the plot be basically a kid and his father move back to the town after the death of their mother or ex wife and the kid make friend with another kid who dog dy and they bury it in the cemetery and well i think you know the rest . the predictability of the entire plot be just sad and i mean i could guess exactly what would happen next . the acting be average nothing horrible and nothing special . the film although direct by the person from the first be nothing like the first and whereas the first film use suspense and dark atmosphere with only very minor gore effect and the second film skip the suspense and atmosphere and go straight for the gore and it seem like the director want to go in a different direction with this film in order to make it more action pack and it really doesn not work . overall this film end up be everything the first wasn not and predictable and weak and just downright stupid . if your a fan of the original i wouldn not recommend this to you at all consider all the thing you love about the first have disappear in this one .
