Cemetery of Terror

About This Movie

Cemetery of Terror is one of those obscure 80s horror flicks that really encapsulates the DIY spirit of the time. It throws you right into a Halloween night full of mischief and poor choices, as a group of teens delve into the macabre. The atmosphere is thick with dread, particularly when they decide to disturb the dead—classic horror setup, right? The pacing is uneven, which kind of adds to its charm; there are moments that drag, but then you get hit with some surprisingly effective practical effects and a killer that’s relentless. The performances are, well, they’re definitely a product of the era. This film is a great snapshot of a time when horror was a bit more raw and edgy, and it offers a unique slice of the genre.
