Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tommyknobnocker Saw this one in a version called "Cemetery of the Living Dead" and was left shaking my head at the reviews I saw on IMDb, especially the ones that call this one of the great Gothic horror films.Granted, this film has a lot going for it. First, there's Barbara Steele, who just had to be in a film to guarantee it a creepy quality.Second, there are some great castle sets. The difficulty with this is that you often can't see the expanse of them because the film was shot so tightly, but maybe that's the print I was watching.Lastly, there's the story, which had some definite possibilities. There are plague carriers rising from the grave to spread the infestation. There are suicides to avoid these ghostly creatures. There's the deceased lead character, who has harnessed the power of life and death.The problem is that "Cemetery of the Living Dead" is so cheaply filmed that little of this matters. Instead of suspense, there are endless shots of people walking around rooms and down hallways, all to zero purpose.The plague makeups are also lousy. The dubbing is even worse. Beyond all that, the ghosts of the plague carriers are never shown, unless you count their rubbery "monster" arms. Nowadays, you could buy a better prop at a Halloween shop...for $5.00.Lots of promise to this one, but nothing is delivered. If you like watching people wander around, then this is the movie for you.

wes-connors "An attorney travels to his client's castle to conduct some business where he learns upon arriving the client died almost a year ago. The client's widow and daughter then tell the attorney an incredible tale of how the owner was able to revive the spirits of long-deceased plague victims and how his spirit roams the halls of the castle. Doubting their story, the attorney begins to reconsider when a rash of mysterious deaths occur at the castle," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Translated from Italy as "Terror-Creatures from the Grave", this disappointing slice of horror is most notable for the inclusion of the always delectable Barbara Steele (as Cleo Hauff) in its cast. She takes a bath, she screams, and she always livens up a mediocre movie. And, Luciano Pigozzi (as Kurt) is another wasted asset. Walter Brandi (as Albert Kovac) and Mirella Maravidi (as Corinne Hauff) play the more ordinary hero and heroine. *** 5 tombe per un medium (6/23/65) Massimo Pupillo ~ Walter Brandi, Mirella Maravidi, Barbara Steele

classicsoncall With a title like "Terror Creatures From the Grave", you would think the picture would be an exercise in campy horror and cheesy special effects. But you know, this was actually a pretty neat little creep fest, and for it's relatively compact run time of just under an hour and a half, the picture offers some of the best lines you'll ever come up with in a 'B' grade horror flick. For example:"Are you putting me in the torture room?" - Albert Kovac to Cleo Hauff"I've summoned them from their graves and now I'm among them." - the voice of Jeronimus Hauff"The corpse collectors always come when somebody's doomed." - the library clerk"The living I may fear, but certainly not the dead." - Kovac againTop all of that off with one of the most innovative suicide/hari kari scenes ever, and you've got a unique little excursion into dementia cinema that would be hard to top.I read with some interest the other reviews on this film by other posters, and I have to wonder why I'm in the minority on the following point. Most take it as a given that Jeronimus Hauff was actually dead, and came back from the beyond to take out his revenge on the five witnesses to his purported death a year earlier. But what about that scene when the servant Kurt laid the body of Hauff on the stone tablet, bewailing the loss of his master? Hmmm.
