Zombies attack three couples in Italy after their Burial Ground is disrupted in this entertaining horror flick from 1985.

We first see a man who seems to be digging around and exploring a burial ground site. While chipping away at the stones on the site, he appears to let out some vicious zombies who kill him. Meanwhile we see that a group of 30-somethings head up to a large mansion for the weekend near the burial site where the zombies attacked.

It isn't long before the dead start rising from the ground as grotesque zombies and roam the grounds of the large property. After all three of the couples are attacked during broad daylight but the undead creatures, it becomes a battle to stay alive and survive the night. They barricade the mansion to keep the zombies out, but the zombies in this one prove to be very strategic in their attack...

I found Burial Ground to be a very fun zombie flick! One of the main positives for me was the fast pacing of the movie. The zombies attack the group at the 20 minute mark of the movie, making pretty much the entire duration about the humans barricading themselves in the house for safety. Very fun to watch. The acting was pretty strong (it was the dubbing that was problematic). I thought Maria Angela Giordan as Evelyn was the strongest and led the way with her over the top dramatics.

The film quality and picture is very poor. I have the old 80's Vestron Video VHS, so perhaps there is a better quality version out there. The picture is dark and murky, with some of the night time scenes next to impossible to see clearly. Another thing which was low quality was the dubbing and whoever some of those voice over actors were. It was comical at some points. The gore was there, and gave a lot of blood and guts, but was nothing spectacular.

Despite those negatives, Burial Ground is a high entertaining "so bad it's great" Italian zombie flick from the mid 80's. I highly recommend giving it a watch if zombies are your thing.
