Reception

The Film Daily found the film "falls short of being a convincing drama. It will probably be okay as program material in the smalle nabe houses" but found Halperin's direction merely "O.K."Шаблон:Sfn Variety declared the film "Inferior all the way, particularly in its direction and playing, outside of Beverly Roberts".Шаблон:Sfn

A critic from The New York Post declared the film "so bad it seems almost like a new experience. Judging from the quality of most of the acting and direction, I should guess that it was a quickie film originally scheduled for six days' shooting but shortened to four" and concluded that "Buried Alive heads the January mustn't list."Шаблон:Sfn
