Movie: Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror

Starring: Karin Well, Gianluigi Chirizzi, Simone Mattioli

Directed by: Andrea Bianchi

Year: 1981

Burial Ground (1981) is a bizarre mashup of gore, weird moments, and unintentional laughs. This Italian zombie flick dives right into the madness, with zombies using tools, breaking down walls, and doing things you'd never expect. The plot doesn’t really make much sense, and the pacing can feel slow at times, but there's something strangely entertaining about the weird dubbing and over the top gore.  Then there's Michael, a 'child' played by an adult actor, whose creepy obsession with his mom just makes everything even stranger. It's campy, ridiculous horror that’s so bad, it's actually entertaining. Perfect for anyone who loves low-budget splatter fests.
