Cemetery of Terror (1985) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

CEMETERY OF TERROR is a Mexican slasher/zombie/supernatural horror film which seems to take its inspiration from sources as varied as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968), HALLOWEEN (1978), CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD (1980), EVIL DEAD (1981), ABSURD (1981) and even Michael Jackson's THRILLER (1983). Unfortunately, it is not nearly as good as any of them.The story concerns a recently deceased psychiatric inmate named Devlon who kinda looks like George Eastman, and whose psychiatrist rushes to try to have cremated because he believes him to be a demon.Unbeknownst to the good doctor, a group of mischievous teenagers steal the corpse from the morgue and transport him to a local cemetery, where they invoke spells from a black book of magic they just happened to find at a nearby abandoned house, all to scare their girlfriends into submission, apparently. Meanwhile, a group of children decide to visit the cemetery at night as a sort of test of courage.Predictably, the teenagers manage to reanimate the corpse, and then all hell breaks loose.If the setup sounds incredibly contrived and stupid then that is because it is. One improbable coincidence follows another, seasoned with unrealistic behavior by almost all of the main characters. Also, the setup takes way too long: we are nearly 40 minutes into the movie before Devlon George finally rises.Although some of the special effects are decent for the 1980s, many of the actual death scenes range from unconvincing to ludicrous. In one scene, a victim is repeatedly clawed in the face by Devlon George, who stands right in front of him and yet seems to escape notice.Even though the movie is not good, it still has some of that nostalgic 80s charm which prevents me from giving it a lower rating, but let's face it: unless you know what I am talking about, this film is probably not for you.

Worthwhile Mexican zombie flick

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.
