Entertainment Reviews:
Like many of Bunuel's Mexican films DEATH IN THE GARDEN works at once as a commercial genre picture and as a clandestine act of social subversion.
New York Times
The film is less about eroding beliefs than acknowledging the fragility of their certainty

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Signoret's frenzy becomes her character's, enervating an otherwise humdrum melodrama.

Rating: B --
Luis Bunuel's rarely seen "Death in the Garden" (1955) is a survivalist suspense film with a subtle dose of political and religious commentary.

No masterpiece, but a prime example of subversive cinema.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 4/5 --
Death in the Garden is a kind of halfway house for the film genius, made when he had yet to receive the acclaim that would give him full control of his movies, but after he had been taken seriously enough by the money men.
New York Times
... a wonderfully cynical thriller filled with brilliant Bunuelian flourishes and a grim sense of futility.
