I loved the first movie, it's a movie that had a deep psychological effect on me. It was incredibly terrifying and traumatic.
Pet Semarary II is nothing compared to the first, but it has that classic cheesy early 90s compression to it that makes me somewhat fond of it. Yes there's so many incredibly stupid scenes in it, some cringeworthy lines, the special effects were ridiculous, and Clancy Brown's portrayal of a resurrected Gus is hilarious!
I'm possibly fond of this questionable sequel because I first watched it upon release, it was a typical early 90s quality of horror (think Nightmare On Elm Strert Part 4 quality). If I watched it for the first time now I would possibly turn it off.
It's a fun crap movie.
Watched it again in 2021 and was shocked to see it was directed by Mary Lambert who directed the first movie. Did her career nosedive in the space of three years or did it appear better on paper than how it actually ended up portrayed on screen?
Anyhow, it's fun. Crap but fun! Still better than the 2019 remake of Pet Semarary.
