Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Tyreece Hulme
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Ezmae Chang
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the greatest living dead films of all time, Burial Ground The Nights of Terror delivers on every level a zombie fan could hope for. Made in the great era of the Italian living dead/gore genre, BG is a non-stop zombie attack filled with insane dialogue, bizarre characters, and takes place in a beautiful yet eerie mansion. The make-up effects range from crude to excellent, with lots of carnage shown in great gory detail. Some of the zombies are truly memorable, such as "old one-eye" and the zombie that has maggots falling from its eye sockets. These zombies don't play games, they use weapons and will stop at nothing to get what they want--tasty warm flesh! I've watched this countless times and it delivers with every viewing. The wonderful Peter Bark makes a spectacular appearance as the unforgettable Michael, a young man who loves his Mama...perhaps a bit TOO much. The musical score also adds much to the atmosphere and bizarre visuals. The don't make'em like this anymore!

Intelligent zombies, nudity, gore, awesome Italian villa, terrible (dubbed) dialogue, creepy Oedipal man- child... So worth the $1 I spent to buy the DVD. If you have any appreciation for cheap Italian movies, this up your alley. Set-up is straight forward-Scientist poking around animates corpses, they attack him, then go after a pack of visiting couples who mostly have sex with each other or run from zombies. You owe it to yourself to find this movie, at as low a cost as possible, and dig deep into this flick with some friends and some drinks. And since IMDb thinks I haven't written enough, I'll compliment the film on the creative ways the living characters die, but dock the flick a couple points for an abrupt ending.

You don't expect much intellect from a horror movie but this Italian gore laden zombie horror BURIAL GROUND is far worse than you'd expect from the genre . There's zero story and the characters with speaking parts have got less brains than the zombies . In fact at least one of the characters is more scary than the zombies themselves The characters we're quickly introduced to have the sex drive higher than a warren of rabbits and the blokes are bonking chicks way out of their league . I really must buy a ticket to Italy to find out if hot Italian woman are only sexually attracted to the male equivalent of a plain Jane . They women don't need much persuading to get their kit . In fact one of them doesn't even bother taking any of her clothes off so by accident or design it ends up becoming hardcore frotting porn . Being a horror movie sex is always punishable by death but maybe these people are getting punished for being so stupid . Example: " Oh my god . What is that . It's horrible " " I don't know but it's not human . It must be a walking corpse " Duh . Well technically it might still qualify as a human if it's a walking corpse . If past participles don't count then just say zombie . Oh by the way they're old school zombies that stagger at a snails pace so unless you've had your legs amputated you can easily out walk them , but this great idea seems beyond the characters . Maybe they're exhausted from all the sex they've been having ? So what they do is barricade themselves in to a house .with no means to escape . Later on the survivors do the exact thing instead of doing the sensible thing and walking to rescue . Honestly this seems like a documentary on Darwin's theories of natural selection Being an Italian horror movie this means it's been dubbed in to English . I don't know who dubbed it but it sounds like the type of non actors who make William Roache from CORONATION STREET sound like Daniel Day Lewis in comparison . It's that bad and no matter what happens to whom there's hardly any inflexion in the voices which makes a great number of scenes absolutely laughable . This is most prominent in the creepy little kid who looks like Jackie Wright the bald Irish guy from THE BENNY HILL SHOW with a very bad wig and there's a subplot there that will churn your stomach . He's so creepy and weird I'm surprised he didn't scare the zombies to deathThis is really grim and dire stuff but I wouldn't consider it the worst horror film I've ever seen because the unearthly synth soundtrack works quite well and as many people here are very quick to mention the make up on the undead is outstanding and I can't help thinking the make up and effects crew deserved a much better film to show us their obvious talent

This is when a slew of Zombie films were coming out, and a lot of them were low budget knockoffs of Dawn of The Dead. Dawn of The Dead itself wasn't that big of a budget, but that movie is the greatest Zombie film ever made, so it doesn't matter. You've really seen it all before when it comes to this one, except the Zombies have aging makeup with maggot infested bodies. This movie can be pretty controversial at times. Director Andrea Binachi gives us an incest subplot between a mother and daughter. Michael (Peter Bark) who plays the son was around 30 years old when this happened. So that makes it even weirder. Bark is a creepy looking kid; Michael has a sexual desire for his Mother, and let's just say; it's rather creepy. Look out for that scene near the end with the breast. I won't spoil it, but it's one of the more shocking things I've seen. The characters themselves are nothing special. They basically get ridden with atrocious dubbing and run and scream a lot. That's the problem with Italian Zombie films, is you really have nobody to root for in most of them. The gore flows like wine as to be expected, and the effects aren't too shabby. I didn't care too much for the Zombie makeup, but it wasn't bad. My main problem with this movie is the ending itself. It is extremely anticlimactic. It tries to be ambiguous, but it ended up pis****** me off more than anything else. I also have gripes with the pacing in the middle. There are too many scenes with zombies staggering around and the actors doing nothing of note. It became very redundant. Final Thoughts: Nothing original here, except for some rather shocking incest, but it does have moments of cheesy entertainment. I would recommend Zombie Holocaust over this one, but this one is good for a few laughs as well. 4/10
