Product description

Synopsis:

When they arrive to spend the weekend in a large country villa, the guests are expecting a chance to unwind and make merry. Unfortunately, their host has neglected to mention that there are zombies in the basement. They're feeling peckish too...

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2004
    I don't understand why so many people rate this film so low. To be honest, I think "Zombie Dead" (aka "Burial Ground" aka "Night of Terror") is great movie, much better than famous Fulci's "Zombie Flesh Eaters" (which I love too). Of course, it is not as intelligent as Romero's films but is definitely the best of cheap B-class films about living dead. I had lot of fun watching it; lack of plot is succesfull placed with permanent gore, sight of looking very well zombies, camp humour and psychodelic music.
    Zombie move very slow (exactly like they should to move) but it is not important because they are the smartest zombie I have ever seen. Main characters aren't so smart, therefore they all gone until end. Zombie use garden tools to kill and wear monk habits to cheat living. Cut head drops by window, death follows death; blood and guts spills all time - not bore. It was great Dino Rossi, frequent co-worker of Fulci, who made special effects.
    Do you like gory zombie films? Is "Zombie Flesh Eaters" too slow and "Zombie Nosh" too poor for you? If you answer twice yes then I think "Zombie Dead" is your film. Buy this italian controversial classic, watch and enjoy its gore and nudity.

    Title: BURIAL GROUND - Le notti del terrore
    Label: 88 Films
    Transfer: Italy

    88 FILMS brings us a BD Set with a newly transfer from original vault material which was done in Italy. Aspect ratio: 1.66 : 1. The source was the original camera negative shot in 16mm. The Film was blown up in 35mm for cinematic screening. What can I say? Good news? Yes, sure. This new Transfer is the definite version to date. It outperforms all previous released BD and DVD sets.

    No Grain Baby, No Gain:
    Oh my…there is a lot of grain due to the used negative material. It looks nice and filmlike. I like it a lot. It intensifies the strong atmospheric aspect of the film further more. It adds to the statement „I am Grindhouse“. The problem „mosquito swarm grain noise“ older BD sets had belong to the past. Puh!

    All The Colours in The Dark & Blackploitation:
    The Colours are drastically reduced to a sepia / brownish tone and they are constant throughout the whole presentation. Very nice art direction. This earthy colours makes BURIAL GROUND even more grim and darker. The Blacklevels are a little bit soft but therefore no elements are swallowed in dark scenes. And there are a lot dark segments. I couldn't spot oversaturation. Contrasts are smooth but stay well balanced. Good job done!

    Filter/ Borderliners/ Compression:
    No DNR and edge enhancement filters were used. The result is a homogeneous filmic appeal. There are two Versions on one BD. The 16mm transfer and a transfer from a 35mm reel source. I think the good picture could be better if all the space would have be used for just the 16mm transfer. Sometimes the grain could look more filmic in motion and I think this is due to the compression / bitrate used. Companies want to save time and money.

    Final Thoughts:
    Lights out. Let the walking dead shine in all their gory glory. It is a nice BD set which is suitable for big screens home cinema systems and projections. I predict there will be a lot of time passing by till a better version will come out (maybe from a 4K scan and higher bitrate end lesser compressed). Till this day all fans and bigscreen freaks alike will be very pleased with this great BD set.

    All About Ev(m)e:
    I am a collector of films for about 27 Years, own appr. 3.000 films (Would be far more, but I am extremely picky and often sort bad transfers out) and an optimized home-cinema room for a bigscreen projection via beamer. I learned a bit how to calibrate the system with software and instruments. I am also a hobby fotographer and have some experience with scanning camera negatives for myself. I am fascinated by films from reels since I am a kid and spent hours for hours in cinemas and film festivals. Whenever a Bluray release brings me back this emotion because the transfer looks filmic I am happy.

    Despite its rather basic premise and minimal plotting Andrea Binachi's 1981 Burial Ground is one of the strangest and at times outrageous entries in the Italian walking dead genre.This could be thought of as a real achievement when you consider this short lived cycle of films includes such titles as Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters and the surreal The Beyond not to mention Umberto Lenzi's Nightmare City or the cheap and cheerful zombie/cannibal crossbread Zombie Holocaust. In the brief prologue a bearded professor accidently awakens the Etruscan dead whilst excavating in a tomb close to his swish country retreat. After he pleads with them not to kill him by proclaiming that he is their friend(??!!)the bulbous headed skull faced zombies chow down on the unlucky fellow anyway. Cut to the arrival of a group of swinging socialites who arrive at the professors decadent villa set deep in the lush Italian countryside to meet up with their academic friend and enjoy a weekend break. Little do they know of his activities and soon the professors's handiwork in the nearby tomb becomes aparent as the surrounding gardens and the house itself are soon besieged by an ever growing zombie hord and in an obvious nod to Romero's Night Of The Living Dead the stranded weekenders and a small house staff of two have no choice but to fight back with whatever weapons are at their disposel. Gorey and at times sleezy, Burial Ground despenses with plot, logic and back story in favour of entrail pulling and gut munching with a fair bit of T&A thrown in for good measure. The characters are all pretty generic which consist of a house maid, waiter and three adult couples of which one brings along their strange teenage son. Now this is were the movie starts to get weird as a twenty five year old man(Peter Barke) was cast as the twelve year old boy complete with a thick black mop of a toupee, whiney voice and an unhealthy and incestuous fascination with his mother. He also grabs the best and most well remembered line from the film ( "Mother this cloth smells of death") as well as the show stopping gore scene which is far to explicit to mention here. Throw into the mix a soundtrack that mixes laid back lounge jazz and what appears to be library cues taken from a late 50s sci-fi flick and walking dead that echo Ossorio's Blind Templers and you have an Italian zombie film quite unlike any other. Ignoring the cheapness of the production Burial Ground builds up a nice midnight movie atmosphere in its later stages and the filming locations which were the Frascati region of Rome and the villa itself all add to the experience. Of course this wouldnt be an Italian horror film with a bad English dub and cringe inducing script and Burial Ground is amonst the worst the genre has to offer. The special effects despite being grim are not the best I have seen from an Italian Morti Viventi filck either. The zombie make-up is at times questionable with actors faces clearly visable under the application and the gore looks like scraps from a butchers bin. The zombies appear in varying states of decay but I do like the fact that when killed they dont bleed blood but what looks like brown sludge which would be far more correct than the bright red ooze that erupts in other zombie films as these guys have supposedly been dead for many years.
    To conclude there is no doubting Burial Ground's awefulness and for newcomers to the genre there are better made and much more accessable Italian horror movies to sample before you dip your toe in this bizzare little movie. For seasoned fans though this is ultimatly very entertaining and despite some obvious problems remains a firm favourite of mine that I never grow tired of viewing.

    Burial Ground was released on VHS in the 80s through budget label Apex and it was this release that first introduced me to this sick little puppy and was inadvertantly my first foray into Italian horror though at the time was completely unintentional as I rented what I thought was Romero style film in the same league as Dawn or Day Of The Dead. What I got was something entirly different as this rendering of Bianchi's movie titled The Nights Of Terror should in all fairness put me off the genre for life. You see when this was scrambled onto VHS tape in the mid 80s complete with a BBFC 18 certificate the distributor already scared of the then very easily offended BBFC after the video nasty debate had alraedy cut an astonishing ten minutes from the running time. To add insult to injury the BBFC then scissored another three minutes of salacious and obviousy to them, harmful material. The end result was an unwatchable mess that ran barely over an hour with huge continuity problems, haphazard dubbing and featured nothing that the hungry fan of horror would want. I would go on to forgot all about this film until a good fourteen years later when I found a Vipco release of a unknown title called The Zombie Dead. On viewing this memories came flooding back. The small midget playing a child and the finale in the workshop. This was the film I had rented back in the 80s only this time there was one notable difference. The gore! Indeed the DVD from Vipco which was sadly of bad quality was indeed the full uncut version with the full thirteen or so minutes back into the running time. Over the years Burial Ground has remianed a guilty pleasure of mine and I have now owned two DVD releases. The said Vipco disc and the American import from Shriek Show which added extras and an anamorphic transfer. Now with Shriek Show releasing some of their back catalogue to Blu ray I was a little excited to see my that old friend Burial Ground, my first Italian zombie flick was getting the 1080p treatment. I did hold off ordering this due to less than welcome reviews. After updating Zombie Holocaust to Blu ray and being pleased enough with its high def treatment courtesy of Shriek Show I decided it was time to replace my now old SD DVD. Like other Blu rays in Shriek Show's cannon this AVC encoded 1080p transfer has its fair share of problems and some that im sure with better quality control could have been easily avoided. The image itself is rather on the soft side. Across the board detail isnt great but is an obvious improvement over the rather bland looking DVDs. Close ups show the best textures from the zombie make up complete with decomposing flesh and maggoty eyes through to the thick sack attire worn by the cadavers. Long shots also can look reasonable all things considered from the bright outdoor scenes of the gardens and countryside through to the sumptuous interors of the villa complete with period furnature and wall art but alot of this depends on lighting as the black levels and shadow detal on the whole are not great with some obvious black crush in the dark and nightime segments. What really ruins this transfer is a problem that seems to persist with many Italian films presented in HD and that is the grain structure which often appears as noise and not natural film grain. This is prevalent throughout the running time with some scenes appearing alot worse than others and in dark scenes especially it is a big problem resulting in an image that looks rough and dirty. Colours are stronger than I have seen before especially the Vipco disc that had an odd greenish tint. Skin tones can look fairly natural despite some obvious heavy make-up on the actresses but reds in particlar look too boosted. There doesent appear to be any noticable print damage issues and as Shriek Show havent done alot to the transfer it does appear to be presented as it is with no digital tweaking. Unlike other versions this is presented in a far more open 1.66:1 ratio complete with window boxing to the sides which I would presume to be closer to the original aspect ratio as most European films were shot this way. The extra headroom does alot for the compositions whilst loosing nothing from the frame edges. The major downside to this Blu ray release and one that could be a deal breaker for some comes in the form of its running time which is minutes less than the DVD alternative. Now the film hasent been cut for any censorship issues so why the difference in times because we are not talking seconds here but MINUTES. On closer inspection it has been noted that frames have been chopped out. Now some of these contain nothing you would notice whereas one does contain a slight snippet of gore. It has never been made apparent why this was done and indeed Beyond The Darkness befell the same fate on another Shriek Show Blu ray although this was only around twenty five seconds of footage.Maybe it was to remove damage at reel changes as this is an alternate version to the one released on DVD with different shots inserted at different times or maybe it was just laziness on Shriek Shows part. Whatever it is this doesent show off alot of confidence in Shriek Show's product and just highlights their lax quality control. Newcomers to t

    I’m genuinely stunned by the 4K restoration and impressively rich colour palette that 88 films have miraculously extracted from a blown-up interpositive of Burial Ground.

    This has impressed me even more than Second Sight’s work on Martin, although the movie’s obviously not in the same league.

    Never saw this film before but glad I bought it. A Saverin films release, it has plenty of extras- all in Italian with English subs. The movie has either Italian or English audio and the picture quality is very nice. The Zombies look horrible, they move slow, but they manage to spill a lot of blood. So be warned!

    It's hard to recommend this film unless you love it as much as I do
    This is one of the first non American zombie films I seen on dvd
    I remember blind buying it at Best Buy for $18.00 early on during the dvd boom
    When Best Buy actually had a huge chunk of the store devoted to films!

    Burial Ground is a step below Romero and Fulci's work
    But, it's extremely Grindhouse and sleazy
    The main setting is more along the lines of a Hammer film
    But, it's filmed like a adult film
    It's Night of the Living Dead turned on it's ear and done very different
    with over the top nudity, sex, violence and creepy incist
    This isn't your Father's Zombie film

    I've had both dvd and original blu-ray distributed by Shriek Show
    This newer version by Severin Films is hands down a solid upgrade even against the previous blu-ray
    Shriek Show is infamous for putting out dvd's and blu-ray's that have a poor lifespan (Not sure if it's the disc they use or what)
    The PQ is much better next to the previous blu-ray (I'm pretty sure that the Shriek Show dvd was upconverted to HD and put on there blu-ray
    If you want a pure HD remaster this version is the way to go
    I watched 1/2 the new blu-ray release it's a much better transfer

    The new exclusive extras with all honesty were a let down (All extras have English Subtitles)
    The interview with Peter Bark was done at a Horror convention (very loud the crowed/fans were very loud and rude)
    this interview was interesting but, too short and done lazily (Berk comes off extremely likeable and humble the man looks good for his age)
    Just for the Money: Interview with Actor: Simone Mattioli was also interesting and honest But, very short
    There are a few more extras just haven't had the time to view them

    This release is for Fans like myself that love the film for what it is
    It's not perfect but, it's still very unique and fresh for a sub-genre that has decayed more and more each year
    Still to this day no other zombie films has really been done like this
    It's truly on it's own little island 8/10

    The Severin Blu-ray of Burial Ground
    is a big upgrade from the MBlasters dvd!

    I was hesitant to purchase the Blu-ray as I have literally watched Burial Ground to death- with every line of dialogue permanently etched in my memory!

    It was always my go-to in the the dark days of early video rental stores with their terminally lean and mostly cruddy horror sections.

    Burial Ground ALWAYS served up the goods-with heavy and effective splatter, an eerie synthesizer soundtrack, freaky looking zombies, serious weirdness and Euro exploitation goddess- Mariangela Giordano bashing in the skull of hot female zombie on the edge of a bathtub!

    I remember a review in Deep Red magazine that described the murky darkness of the film as if the camera lens was tinted w/ blood. In actuality,
    it was just the crappy, dark copy of the old vhs tape.

    Burial Ground is just Hardcore Horror at it’s finest and weirdest. And this print is near perfect!!
