Almost 5 years after I posted this, and thanks to a review by Demdike (who agreed with my opinion on the film back then), I decided to give this film another shot. Definitely a slow burner, with nothing really happening for the first hour, but once the titular dead things rise from the graves, we're in Romero/Fulci territory, with the final 30 minutes being worth the slow start.
It's no classic by any means, but it is a film I'll definitely watch again, my opinion from 2012's ill fated attempt to watch the film has changed drastically. 3 1/2 out of 5
