"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."
