Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Almost entirely terrible, even for the zombie genre which has more than its fair share of garbage. Its only point of novelty is undoubtably the weird "child" played by what appears to be a small adult man; a genuinely baffling inclusion which had my brow furrowed as I vainly attempted to understand what was going on. Actually, it was like that for pretty much the whole film. One of the rubbish zombies was wearing a Frankenstein mask. Not a classic, maybe just one for completists.

The dwarf as the child is the stroke of crazy Oedipal genius, but they don't go far enough with it.

If you're wondering whether to watch this or not, I'd recommend a Google image search on Peter Bark.

Pretty dopey zombie schlocker which is infamous for having an adult dwarf cast in the role of a child with an Oedipus complex. The people in this flick are officially the dumbest ever in the history of zombie movies. "Let's just let them in, maybe they want something inside the house that's not us." Seriously? Some clever kills and gore effects, though.

x2 It has zombies, gore, creepy music & a midget looking like retarded Dario Argento. How can you not like it?

Someone told me this was a horror classic; I guess they lied. It's one of the worst and dullest experiences I've had. If you're simply ticking boxes then yes, it has zombies. But the encounters are all filmed so disastrously badly. It's the least scary supernatural apocalypse ever. And of course everything happens in broad daylight. Thankfully there isn't too much talking, but none of the anonymous yuppies seem like they'd be that memorable anyway. Andrea Bianchi kept his name on this... why??

Unrelentingly stupid second cousin to Lucio Fulci's _Zombie_. It's the sort of movie in which couples stop to have sex in an overgrown cemetery and a woman (Giordano) rather unwisely offers an ample breast for her newly zombied son to suckle. Gorehounds should give this a minor thumbs-up, but everyone else will want to give this grim Italian puppy a wide berth.

Hilarious, at least...

Peter Bark is a weird looking man child and was one of the most disturbing things in the film. The zombie makeup and effects are pretty bad and cheezy but still inventive and fun, if that makes any sense. I know a lot of people really love this film but to me it's just a poorly acted shitty film.

This thing is amazing. I had so much fun watching it. Sure, it is terrible. That doesn't mean that it isn't entertaining.

This is ultimate shlocky goodness if you have a taste for such things. Full of quite revolting gore and some creative deaths set to an awesome psychotronic synth soundtrack This one is also tautly paced for the first hour which is always a great boon for a trash movie fan.

now THAT'S a trash movie, man!

A Noite do Terror estreava há 40 anos na Itália. Não sei se eu não estava no clima para bobagens hoje ou se esse filme é bem mais ou menos mesmo, a única coisa que gostei de verdade é que em meio a todos aqueles zumbis ainda deu tempo de colocar um Édipo alí. Box Versátil Zumbis no Cinema Volume 2.

le notti del terrore is great. a trash diamont..watched it several times and i love peter bark playing a 15 year old boy. guess he was about 32 in 1981. hilaroius. total zombie trash. get em all!!

Very cheesy and poorly dubbed. The fact that a young boy is played by a 25-year-old midget is extremely off-putting and it's quite a distraction any time he is on-screen. At least the zombie makeup was well done.

It's a cheap, nasty exercise is slamming tits and bad gore onto the screen. Here's the thing though ... it's kind of wonderful in it's own way. I'm NOT saying this film is "so bad it's good" (I will probably never say that of any film). This film is shoddy and stupid, but it delivers on it's basic, paltry promise with such energy and zeal that it manages to entertain to a somewhat meager degree.

They knew what they were doing casting Peter Bark, yeeesh
