Le notti del terrore

Superb Italian zombie flick. Alright, not a lot happens and what does doesn't make a lot of sense, but surely we expect that from this kind of movie. The weird young boy, played by the 35 year old jockey(!) is one highlight (his breast feeding and eventual biting off of his own Mother's mammary gland being a particular favourite), but the main stars of the show are the zombie's, which are excellent: Rotting flesh, worms dangling from eyeballs, these look horrid, just as a zombie should. Yeah, you could outrun them without a worry, but they would still terrify you to the very core of your being. The music is excellent too. One of my favourite zombie movies.

this is definitely my favorite zombie movie! it's really unfortunate that it is so hard to find and it goes by so many different names. i rented it first as "zombie 3", but i purchased it under the title "burial ground", i believe that it also goes by it's original Italian title "le notti del terrore" (the night of terror). if you are a fan of b-horror movies and zombie flicks (romero included) this movie is definitely worth the work to track down and own! i love you peter bark! i don't know what else to say about this movie other than OWN IT, and i think it is absurd that i have to type exactly 10 lines in order for my comment to be posted.

Finally. One that ends the way more of them should. NO ONE lives. (To paraphrase Chas. Balun) This one gets going quickly and NEVER lets up. Despite the plodding pace of the zombies themselves and the less than stellar make-up the tension was a slow rise. Just when you thought relief was in sight, here they come again. A constant rising panic and a 'one by one the all die' body count. A lot of the actors and actresses were * veterans as well. Probably explains the dry love scenes in the beginning. And 26 year old Peter Bark playing a mother fixated 12 year old? That's either brilliance or insanity. Either way I loved it. These people were obviously not meant to be role models. Only the owner of the villa ("No, no, I'm your friend.") seemed likable. No happy ending here, They all die. And gore fans will love every juicy second of it.

Burial Ground is one of the sleaziest, goriest, and weirdest movies I have ever seen. And I love it! The reason why it all works is because of the crazy and trippy atmosphere around it all. The music (If you can call it that) fits perfectly and the zombie makeup is one of the best I've ever seen. The story makes no sense whatsoever, but that's the way I like it. The movie doesn't spend much time fooling around. It gets right to the point, which is the blood and gore. Also the movie has one of the most spaced out characters in the history of cinema. I'm talking about the young boy named Michael. Only he's not actually played by a little boy. He's actually played by an adult who looks like a ghost. If you like Italian zombie movies than this is your wet dream. I highly recommend this to anyone interested exploitation.

OK, for those who don't know who Peter Bark is, but have seen this film, he is the strange little boy who looks like a man (and actually was an adult too- we hope). Every time I get down and depressed and want to end it all, I put this movie in and I am reminded of how good life is when films like "Burial Ground: Nights of Terror" are available to me. So Peter Bark, if you are out there and are reading this...thank you. Watching you suckle the breast of your on screen mother is absolutely divine... Come on everyone, together..."Peter Bark, Peter Bark, Peter Bark...!" There are those who will totally get it, and all others can go rent "The Grudge: Part 10". Me, I'm just a "Burial Ground" kind of guy...
