Backlash007 ~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???
Patrick Van Hauwaert Sorry to tell you guys but this was a total waste of time. This was the third Mexican film in a row. First night of the Bloody apes, second Curse of the Doll people & then Cemetery of Terror.Doll people is excellent, great classy horror movie. Apes was equally good, very gory & bloody. I loved it, but Cemetery was a total flop for me. So bad that I had trouble keeping awake. The pace is good but the there is no chemistry on screen, no seat jumping moments & totally unbelievable effects. Maybe a better plot would have helped the film cause I have seen this to many times already. But as it is, this seem to be a classic so If you have enough time on your hands...try it for yourself.
JimSthers The Sexy Erika Buenfil, Edna Bolkan and Jackie Castro along with their boyfriends go to a house in the middle of a cemetery, where one of them finds a book that says how to bring the dead back to life, so soon the boyfriends convince the girls to steal a body from the morgue (they are medicine students) but the dead guy turns out to be the one of a psycho killer, eventually the perform a ceremony and before you can slit someone's throat the psycho is alive, and of course he starts killing the students one by bloody one, also because it is Halloween a group of kids (i mean kids) also visit the same cemetery where they are terrorized by the same psycho. plus the living dead who have risen from their graves. This Mexican Zombies on the loose/Psycho killer flick is cool, there's lots of gore, graphic murders, atractive cast, large body count, is well acted and fast paced. I recommend it highly. Other Mexican Horror flicks that you shouldn't miss are "Ladrones de Tumbas" (grave robbers) and "Trampa Infernal" (infernal trap).
serialslashers 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!!!
