David Andreas from the website Splatter Critic gave it 21/2 out of 4 stars, stating: "Though nothing astounding or ground breaking is ever put forth, this is still an informative look at the creation of a beloved film. Has enough integral players to make up for the inclusion of those whose input isn't required, which helps fuel authenticity."[1] Dave Heath, writing for the website Cryptic Rock gave the film 31/2 out of 5 stars and said: "Ultimately, despite the occasional drags and the lack of King, it remains an interesting insight into how the world got Pet Sematary. Ardent fans of the film are going to get the most out of it, but with nearly everything and the kitchen sink uncovered, newcomers should find enough to keep them intrigued."[2]
