Geez, I'm on a "hidden-zombie-gem" streak. (Although maybe Grapes of Death wasn't a "gem"...)
Cementerio del Terror / Cemetary of Terror - a mexican slasher/zombie flick from 1985 that is part Lucio Fulci, part Friday the 13th and part Michael Jackson's Thriller. Hugo Stiglitz of "Nightmare City"-fame plays our resident Dr Loomis-character - an obsessed psychiatrist who is convinced the recently deceased satanic serial killer Devlon must be cremated before he comes back to life... Why'd he do that, I don't know.
Anyway, a group of teens steal the corpse of Devlon and bring him to a cemetary, read from a satanic tomb and - well, you can probably guess the rest.
It's trash all the way through, but it's so loveable in it's absolutely campy delivery of over-the-top violence, spooky cemetaries, decrepit houses and at times disco-like lightning. Why is there red, blue and yellow lighting bursting out of the tombs when the dead break through from the underworld? Hell if I know, but it's cool as hell!
Not for those who can't enjoy a bit of trash and b-grade production values. But I gotta say... Very entertaining.
