BURIAL GROUND: Is this really worth the viewing/purchasing experience?

[Chris K.]

Okay guys, I have to ask if the Andrea Bianachi film THE NIGHTS OF TERROR, or as it is known in America as BURIAL GROUND, worth my time of viewing. I have heard good and bad things about this zombie flick. Some even state the film is like THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!

Any comments on this one?

Its in the video store I rent from. I've heard good things about it. I think that you should at least try it. I heard some things that sound pretty cool about it. I heard some girl gets her breast bitten off. Sounds Kinda gross. anyway yeah, I'd say try it. I'll rent it some day.

                 If you are an Italian horror completist,then "Burial Ground"("Nights Of Terror") does belong on your DVD collection.
                 It may not be the greatest (or best) zombie chowdown on-screen feast,but it does have its juicy splattery moments:intestines are ripped out,throats are chewed open,wandering folks get impaled,blood pouring everywhere like the fountain at the local surburban mall,and(the all-out classic moment)a human mother gets her nipple bitten off by her now-zombified kid.
               And,besides,this movie is completely nothing--nothing--like "Rocky Horror"(whoever told you that was definitely high on crack while watching his 124th.  "Rocky Horror" viewing).

Burial Ground is nothing like the rocky horror picture show at all. THis is really a bad movie zombie classic that's pretty cheesy. One thing that freaks me out is that kid who is obsessed with his mother and he resembles a 30 year old strangely deformed man! The zombies in this one wear masks that are sometimes pretty cool looking and distinctive. Theres even have a special rehash of an eye gouge like in Fulci's zombie only with glass. I definitely enjoyed it more then I ever did with Dr Butcher which is also being released.

Burial Ground:

Some guy is doing something.  Some zombies eat him.  Some people show up at his house.  There's this "kid" who looks like a 50 year old midget.  He wants to have sex with his mom.  Zombies eat some of the people.  A maid is beheaded with a scythe and hung from a window.  Some of the people escape and run into zombie monks.  The old kid returns as a zombe, bites off his mother's nipple, then it ends.

It seeks to be over the top but fails miserably.  It's just another generic zombie movie.

Maybe, but another generic zombie movie? I can't really picture another one like it.

Okay, I saw this movie on a really cruddy VHS, but I do remember it being VERY BORING. It did have okay gore effects and that freakish kid/midget/man thing.  If you really must have another Italian zombie movie, you could do better; this one sucks.  If you see it in the store, hide it so someone else can be saved the agony.  I'd spend my time and money on the equally bad but much more watchable Dr. Butcher, M.D. (AKA Zombie Holocaust).  Oh, and the Rocky Horror comparison is a total crock (and I know the advertisement you are speaking of...In the latest Fango).  I hope I was helpful.
