5.0 out of 5 stars
The best B-class zombie movie ever, 7 Jul 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.

A DECENT ZOMBIE MOVIE !! !! !!, 5 Feb 2006
The Zombie Dead is probably the most cheaply made film ive ever seen! The acting is probably the worsed ive ever seen, as with the special effects (which are close to bieng as bad as the effects off 'Drive in Massacre') and is overall the worsed film ive ever seen!
But as all fans of this type of film would know, this isnt that bad, its a good thing if anything! And although this is the most badly made film ever, its still good and its still fun to see a plastic head get pulled off some unusually high shoulders with a scythe!
On the subject of the gore in this there is a bit, it may not be that realistic (its actually some of the worsed ive seen in my life!) but there are actually some pretty creative scenes! (therse actually a scene where a woman gets her niple bitten off by her son....her zombie son!)
And although this film is extremely badly made the story is actually aleright! There are some good little twists and a good selection of smart, dumb, wierd and annoying (the type you really want to get eaten first) characters!
This is one of those films that are in desperate need of a good remake! This could actually be the film that is most desperatley in need of a remake EVER ( in second place for the 'in most need of a remake' award is probably 'The Deadly Spawn', another film in the Vipcos ScreamTime Collection!)
This film then is so, so, so, amazingly bad and should only be viewed by zombie/B-movie horror fans only!!!!!By pain of death!
It has got its place in Vipcos Screamtime Collection with honour!

Come on, it's not that bad, 9 May 2004
Having read all the bad reviews, I was expecting the worst. To be fair, compared to zombie classics by the likes of Romero or Fulci, it's rubbish, but there's a lot worse out there on dvd( Spielberg films!...Ha,Ha!). The only way to enjoy this film is to watch it the context of a comedy.The dvd has more extras than usual for a Vipco release and the picture is much better than Vipco's usual standards, but the sound ain't that great. Not much of a plot to speak of, but watch out for the incestuous son Michael played by an adult dwarf. Absolutely hilarious, without a doubt, the star of the show!
