Pet Sematary II's Blu-ray debut dazzles with a 4K scan approved by Mary Lambert, blending film grain and color pop but occasionally softened by filtering. The AVC encoded 1080p transfer (1.85:1) offers impressive details, deep blacks, and natural skintones, though it leaves fans yearning for a full HDR 4K version.

Audio: 82

The DTS-HD MA 5.1 and 2.0 tracks for 'Pet Sematary II' deliver sharp dialog, vibrant sound effects, and a balanced mix of the acoustic and metal-infused score. The 5.1 mix excels with a dynamic surround experience during action sequences, offering clear separation and impactful low-end extensions.

Extra: 79

The 4K master, Lambert's insightful commentary, and extensive interviews with Furlong, Brown, McGuire, Johnson, and Governor delve deeply into the film's production and legacy, showcasing special effects, unique musical choices, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes—making this Scream Factory Collector’s Edition a treasure trove for fans.

Movie: 57

In 'Pet Sematary II,' Mary Lambert crafts a tonally inconsistent sequel marked by dark humor, notable gore effects, and Clancy Brown's standout performance as Gus. Despite attempts at blending serious and comedic elements, the film ultimately falters in execution but remains an entertaining, albeit uneven, addition to the horror genre.
