Transcription
Plot
Five teen friends after stealing from a store end up in a gothic cemetery. While there they enter a tavern where the bartender challenges them to stay the night in a cursed crypt and if they survive the night, they get a treasure.
Production
Following the success of the film Demons and Demons 2 and other foreign horror films in Italy, the company Reiteitalia would announce in July 1986 that a series titled Brivido giallo which would be made featuring five made-for-television film directed by Lamberto Bava.[3] Of these films only four would be made: Graveyard Disturbance, Until Death, The Ogre and Dinner with a Vampire.[3]
Graveyard Disturbance was originally developed under the title Dentro il cimitero (transl. Inside the Cemetery).[3] Bava described the film as being not as heavy as his Demons films and would have more "relaxed" and "tongue-in-cheek" approach.[3] The film is set in the countryside around Bolsena.[4][page needed]
Releases
Graveyard Disturbance was first shown at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain in October 1987.[3] Lamberto Bava introduced the film himself, telling the audience that it was not intended for theatrical release.[3] The film received a chorus of boos from the audience.[3] It was later aired on Italia 1 on August 8, 1989.[1]
Reception
Kim Newman wrote in his book Nightmare Movies that Graveyard Disturbance was an uninspired spoof and Bava's worst film to date.[5]
