Cemetery of Terror (1985)

So much average

Expected more

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

seriously nobody is doing to the Mexican film industry any good by calling this film a classic, because by telling that, it means that this is the better that Mexican directors can do.I tell this because this movie is truly horrible, the acting, the ambiance, even the music it's like a nightmare to the ears. I beg to people from Mexico to be objective, this movie is trash, and it isn't deserve to call it classic, and to say the contrary is an insult for the cinematographic industry of Mexico.One of the dullest film I've seen in all my life. I give 1 out of 10

~Spoiler~ Because I am a zombie aficionado of the 70's and 80's, I simply had to see Cemetery of Terror. It's not as much fun as I had heard, but I've seen worse films. This is actually a Mexican zombie/possessed killer flick that stars Hugo Stiglitz (he of Nightmare City fame). It's basically two, completely different films. The first part involves a psychotic, devil worshiping madman named Devlon. Devlon is shot and killed by the police during a maiming rampage. A trio of tweeny couples looking to party (and to get offed one-by-one) break into Devlon's abandoned house and find his necronomicon. The guys want to scare the girls into the sack so they come up with the brilliant idea of stealing a corpse and reading the book over the body in the middle of the cemetery. And who's corpse do you think they snatch? Devlon's of course. Is this a huge coincidence, or all part of the devil's plan? The group revives Devlon, do a little partying, and then get offed one-by-one. The second part of the film involves a bunch of kids trick or treating on Halloween night who walk into the cemetery and stumble upon Devlon. He chases them around for an eternity and, FINALLY, in the last fifteen minutes zombies arise out of the grave to attack the children. That's all the zombie action there is, and they don't even kill anyone. Poor zombies. And poor me for thinking this was a zombie movie. The only thing that bridges the gaps between the two stories is Hugo Stiglitz. He plays some sort of occult professor who has been tracking Devlon and knows how to stop him. But can he before it's too late???

This fairly unknown Mexican zombie movie may not be the most original horror film ever to be released, and clearly takes a lot of influence from many successful American movies in the same vein; but in it's own right, this is an extremely fun little romp that I'm sure wont be a disappointment to most people with an inclination to track it down. The plot is halfway between a zombie movie and a psycho slasher flick and focuses on a killer who a professor believes may have come back from the grave. Enter a bunch of kids who decide that it would be a good idea to read from a strange old book and resurrect the dead (to impress some girls, naturally). It's not long before the killer has come back as a zombie - bringing the rest of the cemetery with him and the dead have eating the kids' flesh on their minds. If you've seen more than a handful of zombie flicks, you'll have seen everything included in this film many times before. But that's not to say that Cemetery of Terror is not worth a look. Director Rubén Galindo Jr does an excellent job of creating a thoroughly fetid atmosphere to surround the cemetery at the centre of the film and there's a fair bit of gore included too, most of which is well done. Naturally the acting is nothing to write home about, but everyone approaches their roles with gusto and the film remains entertaining for the duration. Overall, this is not brilliant; but it's a more than worthy Mexican horror entry and I would say that it's worth seeing.

Six medicine students go to a cemetery, soon they decide to steal a body from the morgue, meanwhile a bunch of kids also visit the same cemetery and soon the stolen body is up and killing everyone in gory ways, the female cast is superpretty!!!
