Finally watched Pet Sematary 2.
Why did it get so much hate? It's a solid sequel with a line of weirdness all it's own that manages to capture the Stephen King vibe (which cannot be said of all King movie adaptations/sequels).

Someone has taken a chance on my overlooked 2nd book! Overlooked because I never knew how to market it, but I do LOVE it.
If melancholic, post apocalyptic fairy tale intrigues you then I'd urge you to read the reviews on Goodreads & Amazon and maybe take a chance yourself!
