12 Trashiest Films Ever Made

10. Burial Ground (1980)

Confined to a scenic Italian villa, where a group of stock characters have gone on vacation, Burial Ground is the first zombie picture to combine incest, zombies with battering rams and a midget in a toupee, unsuccessfully portraying a child.

Resembling a missing link between Edgar Allan Poe and Dario Argento, Michael (Peter Bark) is by far the creepiest presence onscreen, if not the creepiest character ever committed to film. When he€™s not interrupting mom and pop€™s sack-time with open-mouthed astonishment, he€™s poking around in basements and finding something that €œsmells of death.€

He gets his big moment when, opening his mother€™s blouse, he declares his €œtrue feelings€ for her. Chalk such moments down to Andrea Bianchi, who when not making knock-offs such as this is the director of the Italian classics Exciting Love Girls, Fleshy Doll and Strip Nude For Your Killer.
