In-Person Screening

Cemetery of Terror

Screening October 7, 2022

“A fast-paced, no-questions-asked, gutter-level slasher/zombie romp with every ingredient (mis)placed for maximum pleasure.” — Joseph A. Ziemba, BLEEDING SKULL! 

On Halloween, teens steal the corpse a serial killer from a morgue and raise him from the dead, inadvertently putting themselves and a group of young neighborhood children in danger. 

The directing debut of Rubén Galindo Jr. (Don’t Panic, Grave Robbers), Cemetery of Terror is easily the wildest zombie movie to ever emerge from Mexico! On Halloween night, a group of bored teenagers steal a corpse from the morgue and take it to a nearby cemetery. Once there, they perform a Satanic ritual in an attempt to bring it back to life.  

Unfortunately, the kids chose the body of a savage serial killer who has just been shot dead by police. Whoops! The group of fun-seeking youngsters unwittingly revive the undead sadist . . . and only occult expert Dr. Carden (legendary Mexican character actor Hugo Stiglitz) can end the madness! Filled with gratuitous gore effects that would feel right at home in a Fulci film, Cemetery of Terror is non-stop thrills and bloodshed from beginning to end. 

 

This double feature is programmed by Raul Benitez, a film programmer in Chicago for over 14 years. Raul currently is the Senior Programmer at the Midwest Film Festival and the After Dark programmer at the Chicago International Film Festival, and also programs at Comfort Station Logan Square, Full Spectrum Features, and the Nightingale Cinema.
