Synopsis:
Is there love after death? Only the small rural community of Port Oram
can answer that.
When a disturbed young woman named Dolores Finley appears out of
nowhere to begin work at the Beech Funeral Home, the local mortuary
soon turns into more than just a quiet place of rest. Lonely undertaker
Percival Beech and his shut in wife Nettie offer Dolores lodging in the
room of their deceased daughter, a room which had remained untouched
since her brutal murder ten years prior.
Haunted by ghosts from her tormented past, Dolores walks on the edge of
insanity. Soon her professional passion for cadavers unmasks new
meaning to the phrase "disturbing the peace."
When bodies become missing and locals are found viciously slaughtered,
the town officials quickly realize that this mysterious newcomer is not
who she claims to be. Unfortunately for the inhabitants of Port Oram,
they find out too late! Beech's Funeral Home becomes a veritable house
of horrors to all that enter!
This one is going to mess you up. It's a very original, very dark, very gorey indie horror flick that breaks new ground in sheer dementia and strangeness. Shot on video, it has a very gritty look that only adds to the realism of the film, which is disturbing once you realize the sick stuff that's you're subjecting your eyes and brain to...
... which is not to say I didn't like the film - quite the contrary, actually. It was just so absolutely strange that my mind is still reeling 2 hours after watching it. Despite a limited budget and some actors with questionable talent, the filmmaker has managed to craft a film that is suspenseful, funny, gorey and terrifying - sometimes all within the same scene. Throw in some twisted corpse-love and you have the makings of a true sleeper gem here.
While definitely not for everybody, I"ll Bury You Tomorrow" is a surprisingly fresh entry in the indie horror scene that truly delivers the goods.
Video: How's it look?
Presented in a letterboxed widescreen transfer with a 1.85:1 ratio, the look of this film is pretty low-key. Shot on DV, dimly lit, murky colours, some grainy dark scenes - all of which really do enhance the real-world creepiness of this film.
Audio: How's it sound?
Stereo 2.0 mix isn't bad, but the soundtrack does suffer from some annoying hiss at various times.
Extras: What all's on the DVD?
- "Dead & Buried" - deleted scenes
- trailers
- bloopers
- photo gallery
Closing Thoughts
Stark indie horror surprise + a strong assortment of extras = solid demented DVD for fans of such films
