    Reception

    Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, academic Peter Dendle said, "This scruffy low-budget production anticipates the pointless and depressing amateur zombie movies of the early '90s by almost twenty years." Glenn Kay, who wrote Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide, said, "It's all incredibly silly, campy stuff." On Evil Dread, the website rated Garden of the Dead 2/10 stars.

    Bloody Disgusting included the film's poster in their list of the best posters for bad films.
