Burial Ground Boredom...
paul_haakonsen10 September 2021
Right, well truth be told, then I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations to this 2021 horror movie from writers David Gere and Eric Weinstock as I sat down to watch it. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie before. But it being a horror movie was essentially all that was needed for me to sit down and watch it.
And yeah, I can't really claim that having Michael Madsen as the headlining name on the cover was doing much to entice interesting in the movie. But still, I hadn't already seen the movie, so of course I found the time to do so.
But as I had initially expected then "Burial Ground Massacre" was a bad movie. The storyline, as written by David Gere and Eric Weinstock was just insanely mundane and mediocre. There wasn't much being offered in the storyline that proved interesting or entertaining. So sitting through "Burial Ground Massacre" was a brutal ordeal.
The acting in the movie was just downright staggering bad. The acting and the delivery of the dialogue was so wooden and rigid that it was almost uncomfortable to look at and listen to. Now, I was only familiar with Michael Madsen, and that guy only added the voice to the movie. So you're not in for an evening of fine thespian acting performances when you sit down to watch "Burial Ground Massacre".
And as for "Burial Ground Massacre" being a horror movie. Well, sure, if you have never before sat down to watch a horror movie, then I suppose there is something gruesome or scary to be seen in "Burial Ground Massacre". But if you, like me, have seen more than your share of horror movies, then "Burial Ground Massacre" was just a dud - a swing and a miss.
Don't waste your time on nonsense like "Burial Ground Massacre", it just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.
My rating of directors Daniel Dahlstrom and David Gere's 2021 "Burial Ground Massacre" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

Obviously fake positive reviews

I don't know how I stumbled upon this pile of garbage. What a waste of Michael Madsen. I can't believe he agreed to do this turd. Sad for him. I've never seen a movie with two directors and you still can't get it right? Just absolute trash script, acting all around and cinematography. I hope the two "directors" didn't go to school for this because what a waste of money that degree would have been. Yikes. 0/10.
Garbage!

THIS WAS A JOKE OF A MOVIE

Is it possible to rate it with a minus sign?
giuldalb28 September 2021
Wow....wow...I watched it all...in disbelief...I seriously thought at some stage it would make sense...who is the ginger hair girl at the beginning of the movie? Why was she made naked then tight to a tree, shot with an arrow and seen again only at the end of the movie, somewhere else, next to another naked girls, whose part was tilting the head on one side and die? More than a horror movie is a soft porn...Confusing...I guess the Directors thought that an "horror" movie is something horrifying to watch!
Really?

Has Michael Madsen in It...
jjenk9116 May 2022
First off, this movie isn't great. It's an Indy B-movie slasher about a group of college kids who party at the Larson Estate - finding out towards the end of the first act - that the mansion is built on an Indian burial ground.
Spooky stuff right? Eh, not really. The acting is passable, the story is straightforward, and I enjoyed myself. There is a sequel called "Damon's Revenge" and I will most likely watch that one, too.
Would I recommend this? If you like plenty of boobs and blood, sure. I watched it for the boobs, blood, and Madsen. It's free on Amazon Prime.

Not a single redeeming aspect in any department in this movie. Even worse is I know one of the producers who bought the fake high numbered ratings. These people need less yes men and more people in their circle to give honest feedback so one day they might improve. I'd suggest you save the hour and a half of your life and watch a different "horror" movie.
Not just the worst of 2021 but quite possibly the worst of all time
alecweis22 September 2021
I honestly believe this might be the worst movie of all time. This movie is so horrendously awful that I was compelled to write my first ever review on this site. I watched the entire thing because I was so fascinated by how a film this dreadful was ever created. Everything is bad and I wouldn't even recommend watching it as a joke. I'm still in utter bewilderment over its lack of quality in every sense. Shocking.
Ignore cast/crew reviews
stascia-0882310 April 2022
Seriously, the only reason this ranks 5.3 as of this rating is cast/crew reviews. Only reason it isn't getting a 1 from me is it's not shot with a personal vidcam. Acting is lame, story lame. And I love found footage and b movies.
The worst film ever made
neil-shrubb19 October 2021
Clearly everyone involved is yet to find their calling, as it's definitely not in filmmaking. There's no shame in going back to college to learn a trade, work in a coffee shop, or telesales. Be a criminal for all I care, just stay away from movies.

That's really all you need to know about this disaster.
The writer/director/actor didn't know the word is "relegated." This was the most poorly acted piece of junk I've seen in a long, long time. How it ever got made is amazing to me. And how they ever made a sequel is doubly amazing.
Get 15 minutes in and then call it quits if you don't believe me.
You'll be as astounded as I was at the amateurish acting, story, and dialog.
Strangely enough, it was pretty well-directed for the stupid finished product.

A MUST SEE MOVIE

I really wasn't expecting much at first, thinking it would be a low budget and bad movie because of the reviews. Although, after watching it I have to say it was great! It was riveting and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Great acting, especially Michael Madsen! I also thought the script was extremely good, so creds to Eric Weinstock!
Better Than I Expected

Not great by any means, but definitely better than the one-star reviews led me to believe. If, as some reviewers wrote, this is the worst movie they have ever seen, then they probably need to watch more movies.
Filmed in Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut (it looks like Foxwoods Casino in some of the shots), it is a refreshing change from the boring southern California landscape.
This is a typical slasher-killing-teenagers film with the usual violence and a fair amount of nudity. A Native American slant made it a little more interesting. (Yes, I know there have been other horror films with a Native American angle.) There are a couple of scenes where the killer has naked women chained to a wall or a fence and those seem out of place with the Native American theme.
Michael Madsen is the only name actor and his role is not a big one. He provides a voice over at the beginning, and then he appears near the end. The character who is supposed to be Madsen and wears a mask through most of the film is obviously not him. When he takes off the mask, Madsen takes over.
Not a great horror film, but not a terrible one either.

Dont waste yur time
nobaddaysincabotony25 May 2022
Horrible production.....if this is what horror is in 2021......this is disgraceful. Too bad the movie quality mocks Michael Madsen, a great actor. He deserves so much better.....like in another gangster/mafia movie. I should have known this movie was going to be a letdown, by the name and reviews.....which up until now, I never paid attention to. Waste of time, this.
Zero talent, zero point, only 1 step above handcam production values
gameoveraus17 September 2021
Couldn't last more then 15 mins, it was soo bad. Just the intro was awfull
The production values tho better then movies in the handycam vane, weren't that much better.
The acting was awfull, the opening chat between Chelsea and i guess was her mother was cringe worthy. The "mother" was clearly reading a script and very badly, it was jerky, monotone and she wasn't even looking at the person she was meant to be talking too.
Only lasted a few mins longer before had to turn it off.
It might have gotten considerably better after that but i wanted my life back. Saying that we went onto watch something else that wasn't much better.

This isn't a worthwhile addition to the horror genre
kevin_robbins5 May 2022
Burial Ground Massacre (2021) is another movie recently added to Shudder. The storyline follows a group staying at an old manor. Little do they know the manor was originally owned by someone who stole their land from Indians and have a cursed Native American artifact inside. When someone, or something, comes back for the artifact the group's lives may be at risk.
This movie is codirected by Daniel Dahlstrom (Pinwheel) and David Gere (Damon's Revenge) and stars Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dog), Chelsea Vale (Damon's Revenge), Vinny Marseglia (Vault), Chris Whitcomb (Damon's Revenge) and Travis Gordon (All In).
This isn't a good movie. The writing and acting are terrible. The horror elements are also mediocre and there wasn't enough focus on the kill sequences. There's only two good things in this, Madsen's voice doing the narrating and the topless girls at the end.
Overall this isn't a worthwhile addition to the horror genre. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.

Why do I keep doing this to myself with all these post 80s slashers when I know that there's a shot on video movie with low tone fuzz and horrible effects or an undiscovered by me direct to video mess that I'm actually going to enjoy? Well, consider me the Final Boy of these horrific modern slashers, enduring their badness for you, dear reader.
So yeah, some college victims decide to spend the night in a haunted manor when a stalker begins watching them and breaks in to grab an ancient Native American artifact. Michael Madsen is somehow in this movie, which surpasses me even as I'm writing that down.
Ring of Honor wrestler Vinny Marseglia does show up as the masked Damon, so if you're into wrestlers in movies (and I'm speaking directly to Paul Andolina), get this. Yes, he's playing the same role as Michael Madsen and let me tell you, wearing that mask is way better than any HGH or Trenbolone.
