Summary: More Blood....WHERE'S ALL THE GORE?
Review: Although I disagree with several reviews on some of the finer points of I'll Bury You tomorrow, I agree that it's a fun movie that is original and unique and well worth the purchase. First off, I don't agree that's it's extremely gory at all. Don't get me wrong, there are a handful of scenes where there is a lot of gore (done very well, I might add), but this is not the "gore fest" that some have proclaimed. When it comes, you're glad it does. I just wish there was more of it. Some think less is more. For those lovers of EXTREME GORE, be prepared to be slightly underwhelmed.
Also, the story is indeed interesting and will keep most viewers engaged. But the good stuff takes a while to get rolling. The buildup in the first half hooks you, and the second hour is nothing more than a free-falling locomotive quicly picking up steam. Stick with it through the buildup...the payoff is good. Very good.
The performances is what really makes this movie rise above the typical indie horror movie. The lead actress, Zoe Dalman-Chlanda is an amazing actress who portrays Dolores Finley, the strange newcomer to the small town of Port Oram. The range she possesses is remarkable, on par with any "scream queen", I might add. Since the story begins with her arrival into town, her gradual transformation runs parallel to the slow disintegration of the other characters as well as the complex story that frames her descent. The story gradually introduces her rivals in the "Body Snatching" business, the funeral home workers Jake and his "girlfriend", (I think it was supposed to be his girlfriend) or maybe his drag-queen lover Corey: played wonderfully by the writer and director of the film, Alan Rowe Kelly. These two misfits are the oddest partners in crime I have seen in some time. Equal parts demented, sick, gross, and greedy. Once I got a sense what they were all about, I had a delicious time watching them lock horns with Dolores. Wait 'til you see the switcheroo-double cross- fake out that sets all the bloodshed in motion.
The other characters in I'll Bury You Tomorrow are well written and all interesting in their own way. Dolores decides to shack up with the Beech's,(Percival and Nettie) the owners of the funeral home. This perverse American Gothic couple re-defines dysfunctional. They are perfect seasoning for crackpot Delores's blood stew. Throw in the standard stock players, Ellen Gallagher(Kristen Overdurf), Tina Clark(Renee West), Eddie(P.J. Mehaffey) and Sheriff Mitch Geraldi(Jerry Murdock), you have a wonderful assortment of innocents ready to get sucked into the idling meat-grinder that is Delores.
I wish that I'll Bury You Tomorrow delivered more blood. I heard all about the bloodshed and got revved up to be bathed in it. The effects were so good, I wanted more. I feel some of it was held back. But, the story and the acting was what surprised me the most. Also, be sure to read the credits closely at the end of the movie. This will offer one last surprise to make you appreciate the film even more.
Even though I was slightly disappointed by the lack of extreme gore; the haunting score, fine performances, well crafted story, and creative direction from Alan Rowe Kelly has made me a fan. Lovers of horror, make sure you seek this one out. It's a good one.

Summary: WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?
Review: I love horror movies, and let me tell you, I haven't seen anything like this film in a long, long, time! It's got that rough, indie feel, but is different because the direction, cinematography, music, and acting are all very good. The only way to describe it would be a blend of John Water's early films mixed with something Lucio Fulci would do! This had to have been one of the weirdest, most messed up mmovies I have seen!
The stranger (Dolores) comes into town and gets a job in a funeral home. She looks normal, but pretty soon people in the town start getting killed off and the workers in the home are selling the bodies to this stranger on the outskirts of town.
Pretty soon, the whole plan begins to unravel and the folks in town start dropping like flies! I didn't know if anyone would be left standing by the end of the movie!
I think this is one messed up movie. It's a bit long, but it's not boring. It I think you'll see what I mean. Hopefully this will not be the last of Dolores......!!

Summary: They don't make 'em like this anymore.....
Review: I saw this at the Telluride film festival, and have waited for it to be released on DVD since. This is truly a twisted, twisted film! It's got the feel of a 70's European horror flick, but with plenty of gore.The whole movie has this creepy, strange feel to it, but the story is what makes it really unique. I'm sure it will keep you glued to your screen. I can't tell you how many strange twists and turns this movie took. Unlike most Hollywood horror films, where you can figure out the direction of the movie in 10 minutes, I simply had no idea what to expect next. The effects are really good, and the acting is above-average for an indie flick. I've seen lots of these cheap-o indie horror films where the production values are low, the acting bad, and the effects worse. Not this movie. It was a first rate production. I couldn't help feeling that this type of movie is just not made anymore. It belongs back in the days of those sleazy drive-in's and grindhouses! This movie would be perfect for that.
If you want your blood and guts served up with good storytelling, good acting, weirdness, dark humor, and downright disgusting scenes, I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW is for you.

Summary: A+ Independent Effort.
Review: I think you have to really love independent films to really appreciate a movie like I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW. It's movies like this that really takes chances and is not afraid to tell a good, disgusting story. The problem with most horror movies these days is the fact that they are so predictable and seem to use the same scary tricks again and again. Independent movies seem to get cheaper and cheaper, and production values go down. It's easy to find independent horror, but hard to find a good one like I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW.
Like all independent movies, this is not a perfect film. It's a little long, rough editing, and there is some hammy acting and emoting. But, this is a good movie, folks. I guess these rough edges give it its charm. It's not perfect, but I like that. I'm the kind of guy that likes to see creativity on the screen. If the filmakers able able to pull it off, I will always enjoy it.
I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW is a different kind of horror film. It doesn't rely on slashers, vampires or zombies or any other cliches. Its a dark tale of graverobbing in a small town. When a girl moves into the local funeral home for work, she brings all her dark secrets with her. This movie then exposes its many layers by unfolding a bunch of events that will surely involve everyone who falls into the path of the girl (Dolores) and the graverobbers (Jake and Corey).
The story had a lot of cool twists and turns, and kept me wondering just what was going to happen next. I was even fooled a couple times. Just a fresh kind of movie. I was glad catching this after I have read so much about it. If you like good independent movies, (warts and all) this is going to make you happy.
The extras disappointed me a little bit. Where is the commentary? I would have liked to hear from the director and actors what it was like making this thing. The three trailers were pretty good. There is an OK blooper reel, and 19 (!!!) deleted scenes. For a two hour movie, that seems like quite a bit. All in all the picture looks pretty good and the sound is clear as a bell. Foor lovers of independent horror movies, give I'LL BURY YOU TOMORROW a look.

Summary: Horror fans take note!
Review: I would like to start off by saying that this movie is not going to be for everyone. There are some very disturbing scenes as well as plenty of grotesque subject matter. Some may be put off by the necrophilia and the brutal rape/incest scenes. Personally I found them to be very brutal and hard to watch. It seems like the director was trying very hard to push the envelope. Maybe a little too much. There is a lot of blood and guts as well. Personally, I found some of it hard to watch and had to look away several times.
However, this is still a good movie. There is plenty going for it, though. The characters are unique, and the acting is above average for an independent film. The lead character, (Zoe Chlanda) is spectacular. This is not your typical female lead. She starts off as a meek, shy, basket case, but by the end of the film she transforms into a raving lunatic! She really holds the movie together, since her character is the catalyst for all the carnage that takes place. And boy, can she handle an axe!
Bill Corry and Katherine O'Sullivan plays the creepy undertakers of the Beech Funeral home perfectly. Perfectly screwy! He is a fidgety man, and she a religios nut who has delusions of her dead daughter. Perfect folks to run a funeral home. Jerry Murdock does a good job playing both Sherriff Mitch Giraldi and his scummy brother, Jake. I didn't even know it was the same person until I saw it in the credits. A Really convincing job. I went back and watched it again to make sure and I still don't believe it! Alan Rowe Kelly, the director also does a great job playing Corey, the beautician in the funeral home. All of his scenes are hilarious. He plays the bitchy "Divine" party wonderfully! I didn't know whether to hug him or slap him. I just wished there were more of him.
I guess I'll Bury You Tomorrow is more of a Black Comedy than a straight up horror movie. The situations and story are outrageous, and the evnts play out like a slow-motion train wreck. I found myself laughing hysterically one moment, only to be ready to barf the next. It offers that much, and will entertain people looking for a "fun" movie and those hard core horror fans. It's not really a date movie, though. :-)
My main problem with it was the extreme nature of the subject matter and violence. It was too gruesome in certain parts. But, if you like all the blood, as well as the necrophilia, incest, rape and perversion, this might suit you. Be ready for a wild ride, but be warned about the subject matter. It's not for everyone.

Summary: A Masterpiece of the Macabre!
Review: Kudos to Alan Rowe Kelly for creating this rather sinister shocker of murder, madness and depravity! I bury you tomorrow is one of the most twisted films I've seen in awhile about a mysterious young woman who comes to the quiet town of Port Oram to work for local funeral parlor headed by Beech.Dolores Finley, the young woman has
peculiar habits like her men rather stiff and some chilling skeletons in her closet and add some grave-robbing and other sources of mayhem and you have recipe for masterpiece of the macabre! I love the memorable characters like dolores who seems quiet unassuming woman who has a suitcase full of dark secrets and who's madness which she is hiding is slowly coming back with a vengeance. Jake Gerald, the sheriff's screw-up brother who works for Beeches and who has a rather deadly job on the side, supplying fresh corpses to a businessman. Nettie Beech, a religious fanatic who sees her dead daughter in Dolores and who will do ANYTHING to keep her. The film stars out slow but not boring as you are introduced to the players in this chilling tale so when they do die (always quite bloody) LIke some of the other reviewers of this film I love the black humor of this movie.Unlike alot of shot-on video movies this one looked more professional in tone and in plot-wise miles ahead of the usual slasher genre with it's idiotic teens and unstoppable killers.What makes this film work is how makers quietly let u enter it's twisted world and you discovers all of it's gruesome
secrets. So if you want gory but well-made shocker join Dolores and Beeches and Jake Gerald and REST IN PEACE!
