As the world teeters on the brink of World War II, 10 strangers are invited to isolated Soldier Island. Among them are young secretary Vera Claythorne (Maeve Dermody, Serangoon Road), soldier Philip Lombard (Aidan Turner, Poldark), General John MacArther (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park), spinster Emily Brent (Miranda Richardson, Parade’s End), and Judge Lawrence Wargrave (Charles Dance, Game of Thrones). With seemingly nothing in common, the guests wonder who their mysterious host may be. But the ominous reason for their visit soon becomes clear…and by the end of the night, the first of them is dead.

5.0 out of 5 starsUnabashed gore classic
By Matthew King on March 6, 2004
Format: DVD
Burial Ground is absolutely one of the best entries in the glut of Italian zombie/cannibal films to have been released in the late 70's and early 80's. A fine example of so bad it's great and an absolute party pleaser too. The plot is bare bones simple: A prologue shows an archaeology professor accidentally reviving the dead while on a research field trip. Fast forward a while later. A bunch of guests receive an invitation from this professor to spend a few days of rest and relaxation at his mansion. To their great surprise, they arrive at the mansion with no professor in sight. What they do encounter however are tons (and I do mean tons) of the walking undead praying for their flesh.
The thing I like the most about Burial Ground is the pacing. The initial 20 minutes are somewhat slow but after that we're talking slam bam pacing that never lets go, something you would not get from say, a Lucio Fulci flick. I'm a big fan of Fulci's films but in between zombie attacks things move at a snail's pace. Burial Ground however is as fast as a roller-coaster with innumerable zombie attack scenes and especially creative scenes of gore (although the shard of glass in the eye is definitely in homage to Fulci's Zombie). The zombies look cheap and are super slow but one thing they're not is stupid. How many zombie films do we see where the ghouls use scythes, pitchforks and axes as weapons and even collectively gather to use a battery ram to force their way in? In many ways, these zombies act way more logically than their human victims. I guess the professor did a fine job of tutoring them.
Sure this movie is ridiculous but most zombie films are anyway. There's so much to laugh about in this film. The acting? Please.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGood bloody zombie fun!
By John Lindsey VINE VOICE on February 10, 2005
Format: DVD
A professor whom is studying a ancient crypt near a cemetery accidently opens evil from beyond the grave on a burial ground. The curse unleashes the dead to rise up from their grave to devour the living for their cannibalistic needs, lucky for the undead, their main course will be a group of socialites having a weekend in a large mansion.

Somewhat entertaining but gruesome supernatural Italian horror thriller with some flaws such as the phoney looking zombies themselves with the acting, but the gore is definitely nasty even the infamous breastfeeding scene that you'll never forget.

The DVD has a better transfer than the dark and danky Vestron VHS version with great sound, the extras aren't too shabby such as the interview with the director & actress, original trailer to the movie with trailers to other Shreik Show presentations and a neat poster-and-still gallery.

This movie is recommended to gorehounds, zombie movie fans and horror lovers everywhere but those who are squeamish should stay away.

Also recommended: "Night of the Living Dead" ( 1968 and 1990), "Dawn of the Dead" ( 1978 and 2004), "Day of the Dead", "Demons", " Resident Evil 1 & 2", " The Evil Dead", "House By The Cemetery", "Zombie", "City of the Living Dead ( a.k.a. The Gates of Hell)", " Re-Animator", "Dead Heat ( 1988)", " Hell of the Living Dead ( a.k.a. night of the Zombies)", " Zombi 3", "Zombi 4: After Life", " Blood Diner", "Maniac" ( 1980), "Suspiria", "Tenebre", "Phenomena", " Pet Semetery", " Evil Dead II", " The Haunting ( 1963)", "The Others", " Cannibal Ferox", "Cannibal Holocaust", " The Return of the Living Dead trilogy", " The New York Ripper", "House on The Edge of the Park", "Versus", "Freddy Vs. Jason", "House of the Dead", "House ( 1986)", and "The Beyond".

3.0 out of 5 starsMore Irresistible Zombie Trash
By ACS on May 5, 2003
Format: DVD
I don't know why, but I just love zombie movies. I buy every one I can get my hands on. Watch enough of them, though, and you start to figure out that there are only two plots. One is where humans bring the zombies to life, either intentionally or unintentionally, through evil scientific experiments or toxic chemical spills. If you've ever seen Zombie, Hell of the Living Dead, Zombie Holocaust, or Nightmare City, you know what I'm talking about. The other is where someone unwittingly summons or awakens the dead, as in The Evil Dead, City of the Living Dead, House by the Cemetery, The Beyond and this film, Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror.
Here, an archeologist goes poking around in an ancient Etruscan tomb. After banging his hammer on one of the walls a few times, suddenly the place is lousy with hungry, flesh-eating zombies. Are we ever told why this harmless tapping has opened the floodgates of Hell? Nope. But hey, what do you expect? This is a zombie flick, not Fellini. After the zombies are awakened, they spend the rest of the movie just kind of wandering around and making their victims' lives miserable. I say "miserable" because they only attack when their victims are having sex (Friday the 13th anyone?). Like any zombie movie, there's the usual gore and gut-munching once the zombies catch up with their prey (and they do). Nothing special in that department. Maybe the only thing different about these zombies is their ability to use rakes and other garden tools to bust through windows and doors. These guys are pretty handy. They even figure out how to use a battering ram. Go figure.
The film's most notorious scene occurs near the end, when "little" Michael (played by twentysomething actor Peter Bark) decides to make a move on his own mother (Mariangela Giordano).Read more ›
