On the Twenty-Fifth Day of Halloween, I watched...

Pet Sematary II

Nostalgia strikes again. Many many years ago, a boy and a girl went to see this (along with "Innocent Blood" and "Hellraiser III") at one of those vanishing "Drive In Movie Theatre" things. (That would be me, a boy named Glenn, and we've now been married for almost 21 years.)

I can not remember where this fell in the scheme of the triple feature, but it was the one I remembered the least about. We had since re-watched the other two, and this one was on Amazon Prime, so we thought we'd give it a re-watch. There was apparently a good reason I had not remembered much about this one.

Much like the first Pet Sematary, this one strives to achieve emotional resonance with tragic deaths. And fails almost completely. None of the characters are very likeable or memorable. We have two completely one dimensional (And therefore boring) "bully" characters. Although the actor playing Gus did seem to be having fun chewing scenery once his character had come back from the dead. This one has a solitary character with the folksy Maine accent, and there is not a trace of it in any of the other locals. (Maybe everybody else just moved to town as well?)  This one has a bit more in the way of creepy visuals and special effects than the preceding movie, but not much else to recommend it.  This one also earns a solid "Meh."

    I enjoy scary things. Well, as long as I have a pair of fuzzy socks to keep me safe from the monsters!
