Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror aka The Zombie Dead

Italiano Zombie films have something few others of the genre have...some tragically and highly amusing dubbing.

Plot: Beginning with an aged, paunchy, jeans wearing, Jesus looking archaeologist discovering a stone tablet with markings under a villa, we jump to 80's moustache sporting men, gratuitous boob shots and an incestuous son who appears to be wearing an atrocious wig, has eyes that protrude further than a toad's and is in fact a dwarf-Peter Bark. The story is secondary to the elements that make this film enticing; Italian villa, zombies (the slow variety that also wield axes), three couples (all horny), maid and man-servant (expendable) and some exquisite maggots-in-the-eye socket shots.

Look out for the best death scene, by Scythe.

Line of the film: "You're getting a raise all right, but it has nothing to do with money!"

Budget: $?

Gross: $?

Fun Fact: Filmed in 1981, but not released at the cinema until 1986. Director Andrea Bianchi also directed Strip Nude for your Killer and Confessions of a Frustrated Housewife.
