Disturbing....not for the faint of heart

"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."
