Alright I wanted to get this review up a long long long time ago so here goes.

This movie... This movie right here used to shock and scare the hell out of me sooooo bad when I was a kid. I'm glad to say that fear has went away "slightly" now in my older age of 2o something "I forget how old now"

The movie is very horrific. It's very bloody and houses the most realistic gore ever to be found in a zombie movie. It's a movie that the only thing that can be viewed at as amazing is its gore and of course the wide, wide, wide arrange of zombies. They've got the best zombies in this one. Very scary, very morbid and decrepit ones.

They do wield weapons at times, though... "ROMERO latter stole this idea as did several others"

Anyways, the movies plot is rather thin but can be kinda deep if you let it sink in. Their is a vast cast of characters here and perhaps the strangest on screen actor ever MR. PETER BARK... most of you all won't know who he is i'm sure, but for those who do... well, they know what I'm talking about. I will leave it at that.

The story of how these things came about is beyond me, even to this day... I do gather one thing and this might be the actual reason why -- I believe that their tomb was disturbed when, at the first, the owner of the mansion in which all these people gather to spend a vacation at latter on, enters it and begins to dig around.

In a disturbingly dark scene Zombies begin to unearth and take him down... All while he shouts "No... No please no... I'm you're friend!"  It's strange and kind of unsettling.

So then the guest arrive and everything is happy go peaceful... the zombies haven't amassed out of their tombs yet. Oh by the way the whole estate and manor rest on the grounds of well.... "A BURIAL GROUND" so you get the picture.

Anyways, strange things happen. Lights explode for no reason. People having orgy's while their creepy son watches behind doors and just funked up stuff all night long.

The next morning they wake up for a nice departure and look over the grounds. One group goes this way another that way... another that way... It's all fun and games.

The zombies then make a grand reappearance and never let up. The movie really goes into full swing here and in all honesty... as low budget as this movie is.. It still has that feel to it to this day. It's very gripping, perhaps the most gripping zombie movie of our life time.

As I said before it's very gory. Take my warning on this. They do not care about your stomach on this one and you might find yourself having to turn away at some points.

They have a scene "I still cannot watch" where a woman gets her foot caught in a bear trap as zombies begin to lurk ever so close to her. It's a very heart racing scene but the smack and crack of the trap on the foot it just... It's painful.

After a few of the party is killed in gory fashion they hold up in the mansion, thinking they'll be safe, and maybe when the sun comes up they'll just go away... Well this doesn't happen.

The zombies use a log as a battering ram to knock down the door to get inside... it works like a charm... but this is after some meaningful story progresses "LOL" well kinda actually... We see the son kiss the mom and feel her up and then try to suck on her nipple ... we see a woman get her head cut off by a sickle and then pulled out side to be ate... Her hand being nailed to the wall just before all this, gets ripped thru in gory fashion.

Anyways, I'm telling you too much here... The movie ends in the most shocking way possible, I believe. After a few of them survive the night they flea to an old monastery where they believe sanctuary is at hand. We are then greeted, more like shocked, with Monk zombies and they are scary. Robbed and all and they mean business. They eat another of the party and force the others to flea to this old pottery like hall.

Here they lock themselves in... but it's no use either.

We are given a nipple ripping by zombie son here.
We are given a zombie siege that'll remain the most heart pounding to this day... in my book.
And a stop frame just as all 3 survivors are being killed.

Over this a poem or excerpt is displayed on the screen, making the movie seem all that much more real and shocking... It says something to the extent of  -- In the end of the days burial tombs will open and hell will consume the earth.

Something like that... It makes the movie sit funny with you... Like, could this really happen some day? Could a higher power make something like this happen?

That's the feeling I get anyways and it seems more real and more driven than most every zombie movie on the market.

Is the voice dubbing bad? You bet, Americana's had to ruin it with their petty ass acting.

Is the movies plot and script vague? Oh you bet your bottom dollar on this one.

But I believe the movie has more going for it. something in this movie holds precedence over most zombie movies with me.

BURIAL GROUNDS/THE NIGHTS OF TERROR -- 3.75 out of 5 -- It's one of the best zombie movies you've never heard of and it's got the most realistic gore around. Unsettling most of the time. Bizarre at others. The movie makes little to no sense and never tries to it seems but that doesn't stop you from enjoying the abstract nature of it.
The ending is well worth the first 82 minutes, trust me.

By far more original and more driven than Dawn remake, Land of the dead, House of the dead and swarms of others.
