Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
For all its pretensions, "The Runestone" is just another routine horror picture featuring a big hairy monster on the loose.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide

Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
This is not a great film, but it is certainly a fun film. Great for a Friday night watch after a hard week.
