"Pet Sematary marks the first time Stephen King has adapted his own book for the screen, and the result is undead schlock dulled by a slasher-film mentality - squandering its chilling and fertile source material."

Variety
Variety"....leaden, morbid, rather nasty adaptation of Stephen King's novel..."
—
Time Out
Time Out"One of the key lines in both film and book is "Sometimes dead is better." Sometimes, though, read is a whole lot better."
—
The Washington Post
The Washington Post"[Pet Sematary] has some effectively ghoulish moments, though most of these (like the suicide of a chronically depressed Maine laundress) have no particular point."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Literary success fails to make the leap to film again, with another hacked-up, sloppy screenplay from King."
