| Burial Ground is one of my favorite zombie films.
No doubt about it. But what is it about this movie that is so damn good?
Well, after seeing the dvd and being able to actually see what was happening
in the movie, it is hands down one of those sleazy Italian flicks, packed
with gore. To me, that's the charm of it. Tits, zombies, and gore, thats
the Italian way.
The premise is simple enough-Group of people trapped in a house. Let's
see, we have we seen that before...Night, Dawn, Day...Fulci's Zombie
was a variation of sorts(people trapped in a remote location). But what
makes this movie is the gory The zombies themselves are great. Full face appliances were used, instead
of the old Romero Dawn grey look. These suckers look dead. They look
nasty. Plus great blood work, and intestines getting pulled out, you
got a winner in the gore department. The acting is so so. The only stand
out performance is that of the middle aged teenager in the movie (when
you see it, you will know what I mean). The pacing is decent enough,
but this was just a movie that was obviously made to cash There's not really alot to say about this flick, other than if you like Italian gore flicks, this is one for you. I just wish they made good rip-offs like this more often. |
