note: yes, also this review is sarcastic

"Graveyard Disturbance" is again a typicall Lamberto Bava example of  a (mid) 80īs movie. A period of Claudio Simonetti music,  guys who wear Mickey Mouse T-Shirts (see "Cut and RUn"), and a period where (probably) Beatrice Ring  broke the hearts of heterosexual men....This doesnt mean that this is a good example of Bavaīs Work. The film starts actually not bad and interesting and you think something will be going on here. A bunch of joung people (including Beatrice Ring, who made one year later the great "Zombie 3") drive witht the van to a strange guy (who looks like a zombie ) who is talking something about a great treasure, if they want to get it they have to stay the night in a crypt, of course they do it.. and after a while meet some zombies/monsters/creatures who dont even attack them!! Who tried Lamberto to fool with this film? and for what kind of audience was this film made? The whole time they just walk around the crypt and are searching for a way to get out of there.absolutely nothing is going on here, the film is made in a similar vein like Bavaīs "Demons" film, but it has absolutely no gore, no, this should be a harmless horror "comedy" though it isnt funny at all! its pitty cause the film had potential for more, the crypt is creepy..as the stupid monsters here. if they had done here a really serious horror movie with some gore scenes, this had been a similar ok film like the "demons" films, but everything is here purely wasted. The film has also an immediate,(unexpected) end like "Demons 2" ! if at least beatrice would show here something..
