Reception and legacy

Critical reception has been polarized.[2][3] Bloody Disgusting gave I'll Bury You Tomorrow three and a half skulls, calling the film "a fun and fierce look back at what was right about horror in the seventies".[4] The review from DVD Verdict was more negative and they stated that they "really tried to like" the film but that "it is deficient in too many areas".[5] JoBlo's Arrow in the Head reviewer also panned the film overall, criticizing it for being "painfully executed" and that it was "the cinematic equivalent of a cheese-grater to the nuts".[6]

The film was mentioned in relation to a court case related to necrophilia, where one of the defendants stated that he had wanted to recreate one of the film's scenes where the main character was dancing with a corpse.[7][8]
