1980 Burial Ground Foreign / Horror N/R, 85 Minutes
Director: Andrea Bianchi More Info
Starring: Karin Well, Gianluigi Chirizzi, Simone Mattioli, Peter Bark, Antonella Antinori, Roberto Caporali, Claudio Zucchet, Anna Valente, Raimondo Barbieri, Mariangela Giordano Move over Fulci and Romero, another zombie rip-off has hit the screen in this rotten flick with rotting, maggot-encrusted zombies. The zombies are released from their crypt and, of course, they are VERY hungry. That neat party over there would provide a wonderful feast. The acting is so bad (and the English-dubbing is even worse) that the characters deserve to be eaten. Still, it's somewhat fun to watch the gore. |
