Dante has always been at least as much of a comedian as a monster fan, and the film has plenty of gruesome dark humor about embalming fluid and rigor mortis.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

The freedom of the director's best work is missing.
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
Rotten
"Burying the Ex" is a genre-mashing low for Dante.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

How did the guy who made "Gremlins" and "The Howling" direct this cheap-looking, sophomoric, unfunny dreck?
Eddie Goldberger, New York Daily News
