BURIAL GROUND
How'd they pack this much suck into one movie?
The only thing worse than a ripoff is a ripoff of a ripoff. It's ripoff-squared. This cineturd steals so much from Fulci?s widely-loved (but not by me) Zombie, it's just plain sad. Couples vacating and getting harassed by zombies? Check. Okay, I guess that's a gimme. Howsabout the zombie sitting up from half an inch of ground, maggots and worms falling off of his face? Check. The zombie pulling a chick, eye-first, into a big shard? Check. I mean, what's next, a "fight" between a zombie that stands still and a shark that's sedated to the point of just sitting there like a dumb shit?
We're halfway through the movie before some genius concludes They can only be killed by having their heads blown off! This same genius, while standing behind a door which the zombies have been trying to batter down for quite some time, pauses to say "Listen!" as if he were the first guy to notice that loud BOOM BOOM BOOM of the ram that's been hitting the door for the entire scene. Later, he looks upon some zombie-inflicted carnage and sobs "Why, why?" Not a bad question.
The music vacillates between pretty cool and hilariously lame (like moments where a sort of "oscilloscope" sound is used extensively, leading one to expect to hear "Houston, do you copy?"). Makeup is okay overall, but nothing special.
One admittedly amusing angle is the brief "incest" subplot. This boy - who I guess is supposed to be about thirteen, but his face is that of a withered old man - starts feeling up his mom while telling her how much he loves her breasts and kisses her passionately. This actually goes on for the better part of a minute before the mom realizes "Wait a second..." Fuck, it was hilarious. Then he bites off her nipple.
Not that any of this matters - the gore is all so badly cut that whatever marginal interest this might once have held is lost. Worst zombie flick I ever saw that didn't come out of Canada.
