Movie Reviews of Burial Ground - Night of Terror
Movie Review: Bruial Ground - DVD OF TERROR!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What's this month's pick re-relase of heavily edited Euro-horror flicks now transfered uncut to DVD? Why it's none other than "Burial Ground - Nights Of Terror". I've known about this flick for quite a while now. My local video rental store had the old US version of it so I just waited patiently for it to be re-released on DVD, and sure enough it did. I purchased it, took it home, popped it into my DVD player and sat back with a bowl of popcorn waiting for the laughing to commence. Nothing but pure Eurohorror ... grade A right here. This flick is so damn cheesy, I can't praise it enough for entertaining me. The Zombies though are some of the creepiest looking zombies I've seen since Lucio Fulci's "Zombie". In fact they looke like a mix of Lucio Fucli's zombie and the ones from the movie "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie". Much kudos to that! The story is basically this professor who looks like Rick Rubin, whose mansion is located on an ancient burial ground for some unknown reason, unseals an underground ruin and stumbles upon this ancient curse of walking corpses. They eat him, and they all start to walk towards the surface which seems to take them forever when it took the professor to go underground for 1 minute. I guess time has no effect when you're a zombie...Above ground, some sap-happy rich upperclass socialities and collegues of the professor arrives at his mansion and prepare to spend the night. Well we all know what happens; Everybody seem to get frisky and want to automatically have sex in the mansion. There is one couple that has a "son"(which I dare not call him because it's an actual midget wearing a ridiculous toupee) who seems to be so incestuous that throught the whole movie he tries to make to knock-up his own mother. One scene where his mother just saved him from being eaten by zombies he tries to sexually molest her and ends up getting slapped in the face and running off screaming "What's wrong? I'm your son!". This is not really your average zombie flick. I haven't seen one that touches upon the subject of incest as this one has, so I give this film much credit for that. One the more amusing side of the gem, there's one zombie death scene where the maid of the professor's mansions is looking outside on the second level. A zombie is hiding behind a bush and throws what seems to be a railroad spike and pins her had into the wall. The zombies grab this ugly-looking scythe and slowly decapitates her with it. Then the zombies go out of their way to find a toolshed, start chopping down doors, and even use a battering ram??? Yep, you know the kinda. Zombie that can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. Other than all of the shennanigans this film holds, the dialouge has to be the most amusing: Here's some examples of it:"You look just like a little whore - but I like that"
"You're getting a raise out of me and it has nothing to do with money"
"Whatever it is, it's not human - It's a walking corpse!"
"Stay back, I'm your friend" (said to a zombie I might add)
The music score alone will quench the thirst for Goblin fans. Also the music score sounds somewhat similar to the classic Sci-Fi movie "Blade Runner".
The extras are very nice too:
- The original US theatrical trailer (still in it's murky 35mm glory)
- Interviews with director Andrea Bianchi and actress Mariangela Giordano
- Still and Poster Gallery
- Trailers for "Zombie Holocaust", "Spasmo", and 2 other obscure Eruo-trash cinema flicks.
"Burial Ground - Nights Of Terror" has earned itself a warm snuggly spot in my DVD collection along my Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarentino, and other assorted horror flicks.
