Burial Ground

[brain dead]

I watched this again recently and everyone is right, the "kid" definitely saves it. Almost every moment with him is comedy gold.

Seen this about 3 years ago on the shitty vhs (dark picture) copy i had,i even liked it back then with the shitty qaulity of the vhs. Recently bought shriek shows the zombie pack two watched it again still thought it was pretty good, the special features where pretty cool.

I know this is like my 5th post about Burial Ground, but I thought it was great!

More than anything, this time I'm commenting on the outstanding quality of the DVD-Shriek Show did a fucking awesome job on the DVD. Great colors, it's brighter, and it beats the hell out of the old VHS. Shriek Show goes to town when they remaster a movie!

Tell me about it.

There are moments on that VHS where you can barely see what the hell is going on. But nonetheless this is an entertaining movie...Hi-fucking-larious.

I love the professor who says to the zombies "I'm your friend!"

But who can blame him as the flower pot zombies are so likable, I love the "hmmm whats going on in here then?" look some of them have on their faces.
And the way after many of their numbers have been taken out by gun shots to the head..they retreat..and come back with a battering ram!!

And I love the way the blonde bimbo, who after getting her foot caught in a trap seems to be having an orgasm for the rest of the flick!

where else can you find classic lines like "Mother this cloth smells of death"?

If you like cheesy goodness like this, check out Nightmare City and Zombie Creeping Flesh.

Burial Ground:The Nights Of Terror
(8.0/10)

Once again I have found a movie from my era,
the 1980's, that I skipped the first time around
(When it first showed up on VHS in 1986, my
friends and I skipped it because of it's chessy
cover and no pix on the back, in fact we didn't
even know it was from 1981 or Italian, which could
have changed our minds about picking it up).

Now I've seen it in all it's chessy greatness. This
movie does stick-out from the barrage of Italian
80's cinema, but not neccessarly for the right
reasons. This film, about a group of socialites
on a retreat to a professor's castle that gets
overrun by a bunch of awakened & hungry
zombies, will make you feel like you forgot
to take out your copies of Zombi 2 or
say City Of The Living Dead, but does have
unique charms all it's own. One that stuck out to
me was the musical score. Instead of the usual
"Goblin-like" music these films usually have, Ground's seemed like it was
from the late 50's/early 60's. Very strange at first, but
then it adds to it's charm. Of course the cast, notably
Peter Bark, add to the fun. Y'know, I was fully prepared
for seeing a 25 year old man play a youngster through
various legacy noting it, but when I finally saw him,
to me he didn't seem all that out of place...in other words,
I think the little bugger actually pulled it off!

I should also say, this film has decent zombies. Be it they
look like extras from "Tombs Of The Blind Dead", but they look
pretty good, minus of course shots where you can clearly see
the makeup end and actor begin, and what's up with those
black lips behind those gnarly teeth? Gorehounds of the 80's will
appreciate the level shown here. It's not a massive splatterfest,
but get's the job done. Decent ending too.

Overall, if you haven't seen it while you have seen other
great 80's Italian Horror, see it to fill your knowledge
on it's greats. It doesn't take itself too seriously, in fact
parts are unintentionally hilarious, but you'll have a
good time nonetheless.

Parts? The whole damn movie is unintentionally hilarious. This film beats out Troll 2 for me.

Well, the box claims it's the Italian Horror
equivalent of The Rocky Horror Picture Show,
but I wasn't laughing the whole way through.
But yeah, it's not the most serious Horror out there
that's for sure !

"Burial Ground"......I love this totally cheesy classic zombie flick. Some good gore...over the top death scenes....atrocious dialogue....some good and horrible makeup effects...and a few shocking scenes make the movie entertaining. Not to mention a few sexy women and a few handsome men..especially the guy who plays "Mark". Karen Well as "Janet" was annoying as hell. The worst English dubbing/dialogue and the lamest character in the movie. I dont know why they didnt kill her off earlier..like before "Leslie's" death. At least the "Leslie" character was smart and a fighter. The incestuous mother/son duo played by Peter Bark and Mariangela Giordano stole the show. That "breast/nipple bite" is a shocker!! Yuck!! I will rate this cheesefest high..just because it is a popular classic zombie flick and because I love it!!

8/10
