Classic: The movie, which will air on Friday, April 5, is based on Stephen King's horror novel Pet Sematary, which was released in 1989
Another impressed critic revealed that they thought the movie was even more scary than the book.
Lindsey Romain said: '#PetSematary got me. it’s scary as s**t, it’s having tons of fun, it doesn’t skimp on gore, and it’s somehow even darker than the book. Really impressed and satisfied.
'If you’re looking for something artsy and revolutionary, this ain’t it, but it’s a solid as hell studio flick that is gonna rile up audiences and give them a great time,' she added.
Another Stephen King fan said that although she thinks the author - who is best known for writing horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy stories - has made several impressive adaptations, this one stood out for her.
Twitter user @xymarla said: 'There have been a lot of great Stephen King adaptations lately, but PET SEMATARY feels the most perfectly, specifically Stephen King.
'It’s just what I want out of this movie in every single way, and that includes SUPER scary. So crazy happy with it,' she said.
Perri Nemiroff, who reviewed the movie for Collider, took to Twitter to say: '#PetSematary is *vicious* and I LOVED it.
'Super brutal visuals and was thrilled to see Widmyer & Kölsch fully embrace the deeply unsettling themes of mortality from the book. And WOW Jeté Laurence. They really pushed it with this adaptation & it worked for me - big time,' he added.

Average: Despite receiving positive reviews from many fans and critics, some revealed that they were slightly let down by the movie, with some saying it was 'average'
Meanwhile, another fan who saw the movie at the festival over the weekend said the movie adaptation seemed even 'darker' than the novel.
Editor of Slash Film Jacob Hall said: 'PET SEMATARY: Did they just make Stephen King’s darkest book even darker? Intense, powerfully unpleasant and top-tier horror in just about every way.'
'Lots (and lots) of thoughts on the new #PetSematary to come, but for now, what I will say is this: holy hell do I respect how bananas it gets in the third act.

Horror: Critics have been praising 11-year-old actress Jeté Laurence (pictured), who plays Ellie, for her acting skills in the movie
'Absolutely not what I was expecting AT ALL,' added Twitter user @thehorrorchick.
Despite receiving mostly positive reviews, some fans said they were slightly let down by the film, with some saying they thought the adaptation was 'average'.
Film critic and Twitter user @janaoncamera said: '#PetSematary is intense & super scary. I was at the edge of my seat for the most part of it. The directors got it right in the darker part of the book.
'And a big [round of applause] to #JeteLaurences's performance! It's a good adaptation but not the best one. I can use a sequel,' they added.
Kevin L. Lee, a film critic, said the movie wasn't scary enough for him, and that he thought it was 'very average'.
He said: '*Sigh* #PetSematary is very average. Good acting, sound design and production value. But it's never scary enough, never tense enough.
'Once the horror stuff REALLY kicks in, it's pretty much over. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wanted more out of this #SXSW2019.'
Pet Sematary, which will hit theaters on Friday, April 5, is an adaptation of Stephen's book, which was released in 1983.
The movie, which fans have stated is slightly different to the plot of the novel, follows the Creed family.

Excitement: Pet Sematary, which is set to hit theaters on Friday, April 5, follows a number of Stephen's novels including It (2017) and The Shining (1980), that were adapted into films
The family-of-four decide to move from a big city to a rural area in Maine in order to live a better quality life and spend more time together.
The family consists of Dr. Louis Creed, who is played by Jason Clarke, his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and two children Ellie and Gage, who are played by Jeté Laurence and Hugo and Lucas Lavoie respectively.
Despite seeking a peaceful new life, the family discover a cemetery that was used to bury pets in the land behind their new home.
When a tragic event strikes the family, Dr. Louis turns to his strange neighbor Jud Crandall, who is played by John Lithgow.
From then onward, the family experience a 'perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences,' according to the movie's trailer.
And it isn't the first adaptation of one of Stephen's novels. One of the best known adaptations is It, which was released in 2017.
The scary movie follows a killer clown as he poses as a child and preys on children in a fictional town called Derry, Maine.
Similarly, a movie version of the author's hit novel The Shining was released in 1980.
