Burial Ground: Nights of Terror (Le Notti del terrore) is an Italian zombie movie directed by Andrea Bianchi with cult status, primarily due to the casting of a middle aged dwarf as the child of an incestuous relationship.

[edit] Synopsis

A professor whom is studying an ancient crypt near a cemetery accidentally opens evil from beyond the grave on a burial ground. The curse unleashes the dead to rise up from their grave to devour the living for their cannibalistic needs, lucky for the undead, their main course will be a group of socialites having a weekend in a large mansion.

Burial Ground is famous for Peter Bark's touching portrayal of young Michael. Bark, who in reality is an elderly midget, turns in a heart-wrenching performance as a young lad that lusts after his mother, both before and after becoming a zombie.
