I hate to say it but I liked Pet Sematery 2 as well!

I just don't like sequels that trash the original mythologies- pet sematary couldn't even stay true to its own-"you have to bury you're own" but yet when the sherriff buries the town bully he comes back+ i think part 1 is one of the finest stephen king adaptations yet. us aussies haven't got pumpkinheads 3/4 yet 3 being released in may- but i love the fact that ed Harley is in it.

Wait until you get Pumpkinhead 4, that was simply mindblowing. A fantastic film that almost beats the original.

Personally, I would like to see science fiction or fantasy films included in this just so I can have the pleasure of voting for Highlander II: The Quickening. I didn't like either of the Pet Semetary films much myself. I love the book, and didn't even feel the first film did it justice. One of the scariest books I have ever read.

I think the Alien series might be a good sci-fi francise to attack!

That would be fine, if only for the fact that I prefer the sequels over the onginal. I'm not that big a fan of it and think it's far too long and boring, with only one good scene in it.

Those are all good ideas! We can do a 'genre-wide' sequel poll afterwards.

Im guessing part three must have suffered from bad box office hence the delay for the fourth one or is it just going straight to dvd?

You talking Alien 3 Matt? Personally I reckon the director's cut is pretty damn good.
And definitely think we should do a genre wide poll so I can vote for Starship Troopers 2. And Jen Highlander 2 isn't far behind in my stakes.

You talking Alien 3 Matt? Actually i was referring to the sequel poll itself but for the record i always thought Alien 3 copped a bad rap myself.

Starship Troopers 2 can't be the worst sequel. Yeah it suced, but so did the original. It as hardly a major drop off in quality. Go figure, terrible film has a errible sequel

Heresy! Starship Troopers rocked at both an action and visuals level and with its political sub-text.
