10 Movies With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Plots

10. Pet Sematary 2

Pet Sematary had Herman Munster and Bing Crosby’s granddaughter being menaced by a zombie baby, so in an effort to top that Pet Sematary 2 gives us Edward Furlong and Anthony Edwards being menaced by a zombie dog and a drill-wielding zombie Sheriff.

You see, there’s an Indian burial ground near Furlong’s new home, and when his best friend’s dog is killed by the local Sheriff, they remember all those stories about people burying their loved ones there and their loved ones returning to life. They skipped the part about the dead returning to life with glowing eyes and homicidal tendencies, though, so when the dog comes back it tears the Sheriff’s throat out.

Reasoning that the only way out of a hole is to dig deeper, Furlong then buries the Sheriff, who’s reanimated as a scumbag that forces himself on his wife, pushes a kid’s face into a rotating bike wheel and, most heinously, shows Furlong a mouthful of mashed potato at the dinner table.

Strangely, there never was a Pet Sematary 3.
