not too surprising.  TPFWWM is for TP fans only, as we have all
figured out, despite what NewLine has told Lynch to say.  Pet
Sematary II is for anyone who wants to see a mindless movie just
for the gore and thrill, without having to think, and without
having to bring any of it home with them.  Kind of like comparing
TP the series with Northern Exposure, except for NE has some
redeeming qualities to it, and i doubt PS2 does.
 
lets just hope those europeans and japanese brought in enough money
to make it profitable for another movie.
