So first question... Why? The easy-on-the-eye Edward Furlong ("Jeff") and hid dad "Chase" (Anthony Edwards) move to the Maine town of Ludlow after his mother dies in a freak electrical accident whilst filming a horror movie! Needless to say, the teenager is still a little bit traumatised when they arrive at his mother's old home and so is suitably susceptible when his pal "Drew" (Jason McGuire) tells him of the reputedly recuperative powers of the pet graveyard near their town. He is going to test the theory with his recently deceased mutt "Zowie" and this triggers a course of events that has poor old "Jeff" soon contemplating putting his mother in the same ground in the hope that she, too, might come back to life. This is actually quite comical to start with, but as it progresses it becomes little better than a cheap and cheerful zombie movie that is totally devoid of peril and suffers from a some very wooden acting and a very limited special effects budget. It lacks the subtly and cumulative power of the original Stephen King story - instead opting for shock tactics that really only raise a smile rather than the hairs on the back of your neck. A sequel nobody needed, sorry.
