4.0 out of 5 stars Grave Peril..., April 26, 2008

This review is from: Crypt of Terror: Cemetery of Terror / Grave Robbers (DVD)

This CRYPT OF TERROR double feature has two films about zombies and the morons who disturb their eternal slumber. CEMETERY OF TERROR concerns a trio of guys who tell their girlfriends that they're taking them to a big party. This is a lie, as the real plan is to go to a crumbling old mansion for a little intimate funtime. Along the way, one of these birdbrains finds a creepy old book and comes up w/ the idea of going to the morgue, stealing a cadaver, and taking it back to the mansion to raise it from the dead! Of course, this seems like a swell idea to most involved. Well, the kids acquire the stiff and recite some incantations that actually work! Unbeknownst to them, the dead guy they picked was an evil murderer! This leads to an evening of brutal death. Soon, the dead start popping out of the ground like nobody's business, killing the fools who woke them up. Gorey deaths ensue. In GRAVE ROBBERS a group of young tomb-raiders dig up a crypt full of gold and precious jewels. Unfortunately, said crypt also contains a cursed, satanic zombie! Our heroes can't resist bringing the curse on themselves, which causes much grisly violence and splattery madness! Both of these movies are enjoyable and make for quite a nice Saturday afternoon double-dip of doom... P.S.- Spanish w/ English subtitles...

Cemetery of Terror (Ruben Galindo Jr., 1985)

I spent the first seventy minutes of this hour-and-a-half-long feature wondering what on Earth the title had to do with the movie, since there was only one cemetery, and it wasn't really all that scary. But then, neither was the rest of the movie, a generic slasher with Satanic/supernatural overtones. I was inclined to dismiss it, but then we got to the cemetery bit, and it got kind of halfway okay, in that Lucio-Fulci-wannabe way, so the movie ended up not being a total loss. It went back downhill pretty quick, but I didn't outright hate it. Welcome to what Jonathan Rosenbaum calls the Criticism of Lowered Expectations...

In this Mexican attempt at Italian horror, a bunch of young-and-beautifuls end up at a big old abandoned mansion (the guys conspire to get the girls there by asking them on outrageous dates. You've never heard overacting until you hear one of these lasses talking about jet-set parties!) for a Halloween night of premarital sex. While exploring the place, one of them finds an old book, and they all tromp out to the local cemetery to see if they can use its Satanic invocations to raise the dead. (Woo, satanic panic!) When it doesn't seem like anything's happened, they all tromp back to the house and resume the carnal-getting, not realizing that they've managed to pull a psycho back into the living realm, who then goes around killing people whilst searching for either the doctor who killed him in the first place of the kids who raised him. (Either I or the script was a little unclear on the concept; I'm more than willing to assume I fell victim to bad subtitling.) In any case, you know the drill: kids, premarital sex, slasher movie, etc. There's an added dollop of fun about a group of pre-teen trick-or-treaters, but for most of the movie those scenes are unrelated to the rest (they only actually show up at the house for the big climactic battle there before the action starts telling us why the movie is called, depending on the language you speak, Cemetery of Terror or Zombie Apocalypse).

It's a weird mix of The Evil Dead, Halloween, and any number of late-seventies/early-eighties Italian zombie films (you could actually pin this on anything from Tombs of the Blind Dead to Dr. Butcher, MD and people would recognize what you were saying), but stripped of any of what made those films better than the rest of the pack and updated for the hot new styles of 1985--which of course makes this dated, viewing it 25 years later. It does have that 80s-trash feel that gives it a nostalgic kick (a la Night of the Comet) despite it otherwise being pretty worthless, but the cemetery scenes are kind of fun, and make it maybe worth watching if you catch it on late-night TV and tune in halfway through. (I'm put in mind of a scene early in Videodrome where a sales-type is trying to sell James Woods a 13-episode miniseries that ends with the last episode being what we would today call torture porn; Woods replies "play me the last tape. My viewers won't see the first twelve.") * 1/2

2.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT Plan 9, September 3, 2006

However if you enjoy 80's low budget, bad hair, mexi-horror this is a gem. Cemetery of Terror is about a group of mulleted men who steal a corpse and resurrect it with the devil's spirit to possibly get carnal with their dates. Of course the possessed corpse kills them all by splattering fake blood on them. Brave kids wearing Michael Jackson jackets appear to save the day
