Wow... Just... wow. And I don't mean that in a good way. Roll the dice and be prepared to lose big with this stinker. I watched this after seeing it mentioned in another review; the review had mentioned _Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror_ as being possibly the only movie that was gorier and more gruesome than _Zombie Flesh-Eaters_ (which I had just finished). Naturally, I was curious to see a zombie film that could be any more grotesque than _Zombie Flesh-Eaters_ so I gave this one a watch tonight. What a humongous disappointment. Let me just say this about _Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror_ : If you watch it **ONLY** for the gore, you probably won't be too disappointed. Lots of red paint, pasta, and sausage rolls were used here for maximum effect, although the producers really stopped short (IMO) of producing the gut-wrenching effects of _Day of the Dead_ or even Lucio Fulci's _City of the Living Dead (The Gates of Hell)_ . There were a lot of gruesome scenes where "intestines" were being pulled apart and eaten but - unlike _Day of the Dead_ you never actually saw the victims being shredded while still alive. There were extreme close-ups where you saw a bunch of red goo surrounded by maybe the hint of a blouse or shirt - to indicate some poor sap's midsection being ripped asunder - but overall, the "gore" effect was sorely dampened. The story…well…WHAT story? There was no story. I can assure you that if you don't read the movie's synopsis beforehand, you'll have absolutely no clue what this was about. A group of people show up at some (what appears to be completely abandoned) Italian tudor, only to find out their "host" has disappeared but _"will probably see you all in the morning"_ so they make themselves at home...and zombies start appearing. Now, I love cheesy Italian zombie flicks and the ever-present "frozen in place with terrified eyes and mouth agape" (as opposed to running for your life and/or simultaneously going stark raving lunatic) but this... I'm sorry, but this one was just TOO much. There was never - NEVER - an attempt to make a mad dash for the vehicles (they had all arrived at the front gate in cars, and driven them onto the grounds, so those vehicles were **somewhere** nearby) and escape, and hardly any attempts to even barricade themselves into an almost fortress-like tudor. Come on: there _has_ to be at least a tiny bit of common sense/reality in these or they just come across as adolescent school plays. Perhaps the most off-putting (and I still can't make any sense of this; it was just **WRONG**) feature of this entire story was the weird use of a midget in the role of a child. I honestly don't know what they were going for here; it was obvious this "boy" wasn't a "boy", but the producers weren't going for "teenager" either, with the continued _"Mommy! Mommy!"_ stuff, either. The incestuous relationship that ultimately culminated in this "little boy" feeling up his own mom... That was just .... If you're a pervert that gets into that kind of sick stuff, don't bother watching just for that because there was NOTHING that even remotely seemed "sexual" about it. It was just disgusting, and added absolutely NOTHING to the already-had-nothing-to-begin-with story. I could go on about the endless plot holes and the lack of a real conclusion (did they max out their budget without realizing it and have to suddenly stop?) but let me just suffice to repeat what I said at the beginning of this review: Roll the dice and be prepared to lose big with this stinker. The ONLY good I could see in this was (1) many of the zombies were amazingly done; makeup was top-notch here. (2) If you're really into gruesome, this will probably knock your socks off. Otherwise, this has to be one of the worst movies I've ever sat through.
