Cementerio del Terror (Cemetery of Terror) is a 1985 Mexican horror movie.On the night of October 30, after being moments too late to save his latest victim, the police manage to shoot and kill a devil worshipper named Devlon, who murdered 17 people, including his parents. Knowing of Devlon's powers and skill at the dark arts, his psychiatrist, Dr. Camilo Cardan, demands the skeptical police captain Adam Ancira to cremate Devlon's remains immediately, going so far as to forge legal documents to do so. Now October 31st, three medical school students named Jorge, Oscar and Pedro trick their girlfriends Olivia, Mariana and Lena into thinking they're going to a luxurious party at a mansion, instead taking them to an abandoned house by a cemetery to party by themselves, unaware that this is Devlon's hideout. The ladies are not happy with this and refuse to party with the guys, and after an annoyed Jorge finds a book of black magic in the house's attic, the guys decide to scare the girls by stealing a corpse from the city morgue to have a pretend ritual to revive it.At the same time, young teenager Tony goes out with his friends Usi and Anita and their respective little brothers Cesar and Raul to fulfill a dare of heading into the deepest part of the cemetery on Halloween night (Anita and Raul are also Captain Ancira's children). The medical students steal Devlon's body from the morgue, and after finding out that it's missing, Dr. Cardan swipes Captain Ancira's patrol car to search by himself. The three couples hold the ritual despite the protests of the girls, and unaware that it worked, they return to the abandoned house while the five children arrive at the cemetery. Now revived, Devlon sets out to take back his book and murder the people invading his home and cemetery, all while Dr. Cardan desperately tries to find Devlon and put a stop to him once and for all.Cementerio del Terror was filmed with an extremely small budget and it is basically a hodge-podge of horror subgenres all put together with a heap of Narm and some pretty bad acting. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, it became a hit in its native Mexico and is considered a cult classic to this day, with slasher fans from other countries discovering it and holding it in high regard as schlocky B-Movie fun.

Tempting Fate: The girls warn their boyfriends several times that stealing a corpse and messing with some weird black magic book they found in an abandoned house is a bad idea, but the guys are adamant about carrying out the deed. Turns out the girls were quite right.

comment
Genre Savvy: The five children seem to have watched plenty of horror movies. Upon finding a house full of dead bodies and the creepy guy who killed them, their first instinct is to grab an axe for protection (having to actually pry the axe off of a dead man's head) and run the hell away, opting to stick together at all times, knowing that becoming separated only puts them in worse danger. Even after Devlon uses magic to shut all the doors in the house, trapping them inside with him, they just break a window and flee.

Cordon Bleugh Chef: Tony and his older sister Vicky are introduced as she cooks dinner for him. Said dinner consists of something in the oven that she doesn't serve because she burned it, and some unidentifiable slop that she had in a pan, which she serves to Tony despite having burned it too. It's no surprise that Tony just opts to grab an apple to eat as he leaves the house.

All in the Eyes: Devlon at the climax of the film, especially when he telekinetically pulls Usi towards him. Just one look into his eyes and she's fully paralyzed with fear for several moments, enough for Devlon to kill Dr. Cardan before Usi can snap out of it and burn Devlon's book.

Flat Character: Most characters, even minor ones, tend to have a purpose to the story. Such is not the case with Cessy and Michel, two friends of the three couples who are introduced to spending time with some of the group at a lake as they talk about their plans for the evening, then the two of them are never seen or mentioned again. The actors are not even credited in the movie.

Bittersweet Ending: Bordering on Downer Ending but not quite there. Devlon has killed all three couples as well as Dr. Cardan, and while the children survived thanks to Usi burning Devlon's book, she didn't completely succeed, as Devlon transferred his spirit to Dr. Cardan's body and managed to salvage his book from the fire with not much damage to it, ready to continue his evil deeds.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 Cemetery of Terror / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Oscar, Pedro and especially Jorge, who get angry that their girlfriends didn't like their prank and decide to get "payback" by scaring them with a fake black mass after actually stealing a dead body from the city morgue. However, once shit hits the fan, they are clearly concerned about the girls and each other and spring into action without hesitation. Captain Ancira is dismissive of Dr. Cardan's worries, and while he's rightfully skeptical, he's still quite jerkish about the whole thing and is barely concerned even after Devlon's body has disappeared from the morgue. But once he finds out that his children and their friends didn't come home and are nowhere to be found, he's clearly worried, is very kind and reassuring to his wife, Tony's sister and Cesar and Usi's parents, and strives to find the children.

Police Are Useless
 Cemetery of Terror / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: Granted, it's hard to believe Dr. Cardan's story about Devlon's black magic, but even after going to the morgue and finding that his corpse is missing, the police are still rather lax about the whole thing and can't even find Dr. Cardan after he stole Captain Ancira's patrol car. And despite the fact that they make it their priority to find the missing children, they only find the kids after someone called them to report hearing screams at the abandoned house. And then there's at the end of the movie, where Devlon, now possessing Dr. Cardan's body, manages to hide from them in the attic despite the police checking out the whole house as a murder crime scene. While not exactly cops, the security guards at the morgue firmly fall into this trope. One is asleep on the job and won't wake up even after his co-worker tries to wake him. Said co-worker is too busy reading a magazine to do his job, which allows three random guys to just waltz into the place and steal a corpse without anyone noticing.

Jorge then opts to have Olivia wait for him while he goes get them by himself, which leads to both he and Olivia getting killed immediately afterwards. The children actually avert this, opting to stick together all the time. They become separated into two groups by accident at one point and their main priority is to get back together before attempting to escape.

Developing Doomed Characters: Most of the main adult cast are introduced very quickly (with the exception of Lena, who first appears at nearly the 15-minute mark) and most get killed right after the halfway mark of the movie, all within 10 minutes of running time. Two of the kids are introduced at the 18-minute mark and the rest at the 25-minute mark, but they all survive at the end.

Holy Burns Evil: Dr. Cardan kept a cross on him just in case, which helps keep the zombies away, as they were reanimated by satanic magic and dare not get too close to the cross, and Dr. Cardan even takes a large wooden one from the cemetery itself to use as a crutch when his leg gets broken after a tree falls on him. Unfortunately, Devlon is too powerful to be affected by the cross.

Gutted Like a Fish: Devlon does this to both Oscar and Olivia, especially her, as she manages to stab him with a bottle before he retaliates in full.

Rise from Your Grave: Devlon uses his magic to raise the dead in the cemetery to hunt the children down for him, with the zombies popping out of their graves and the ground.

Deadly Prank: Jorge, Oscar and Pedro decide to prank their girlfriends by lying about the party they were going to, and then prank them again by stealing a corpse from the morgue to hold a fake black mass with a book Jorge found. Big mistake.

Deer in the Headlights
 Cemetery of Terror / int_96251156
comment
Deer in the Headlights: Happens twice to Usi, who is the most easily panicked of the five kids. It first happens when a zombie's hand comes up from the ground and grabs Tony's ankle, who screams at a frightened Usi for help and it takes her a few moments to grab the axe Tony had and chop the zombie's hand off. Then at the near end of the movie, right as she's about to burn Devlon's book, Devlon uses his magic to drag her to him telekinetically, and one look into his eyes is enough to leave her paralyzed for several moments, enough for Devlon to kill Dr. Cardan before Usi snaps out of it and finally burns his book.

Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: Downplayed. The events of the movie take place during Halloween and it's mentioned a few times by the characters, but it really has no importance in the story and the only signs of anything remotely resembling it are a couple of cheap plastic masks and the kids carrying jack-o-lanterns as they explore the cemetery.

Final Girl: Olivia, Mariana and Lena all seem to show some characteristics. They don't like the idea of partying at an abandoned house and really don't want to mess with supernatural things, though eventually go along with both things anyway. They're with their boyfriends having drinks and making out but there is no sex and no drugs. Ultimately, they all avert this when all three get killed within minutes of each other (with Olivia being the only one to put up any sort of a fight), leaving Usi and Anita, two girls in their early teens, as the only female survivors.

Ignored Expert: Dr. Cardan knows exactly how truly dangerous Devlon's mastery of dark magic is even after his death and knows that Devlon's remains must be burned as soon as possible, though being fair, the police did shoot Devlon to death so it makes sense they'd doubt him. Once Devlon's body turns out missing, only Dr. Cardan knows something very bad is going to happen but the police still don't make much of it.

No Name Given: The movie has a lot of characters, both main and minor, and most get names, except for Usi and Cesar's father. Happens to the mother of Usi and Cesar and the mother of Anita and Raul, in a way. Vicky speaks to both of them on the phone, referring to one as Susan and to the other as Sonia, but the movie never makes it clear which of the two women is which.

Lighter and Softer: The movie is this in two ways at least, as it has no nudity at all (at most just showing some girls in swimsuits) and there is not a single curse word in the entire movie (other than "hell"), making it seem like a PG-13 rated movie at the most, but then come to the deaths, some of which are rather gory and definitely not PG-13 material.

Jorge, Oscar and Pedro take their girlfriends to party at an abandoned house that happens to be Devlon's hideout, Jorge finds Devlon's book while exploring and the guys decide to prank the girls by stealing a corpse to carry out a fake black mass, and they happen to take Devlon's corpse moments before Dr. Cardan and Captain Ancira arrive to cremate it, and the children find themselves in the middle of the whole ordeal because of wanting to carry out a dare at the cemetery. There's also Dr. Cardan arriving at the cemetery right when the children are surrounded by zombies with no way out and he proceeds to tell them how to destroy Devlon.

Camp: Despite the movie and all the characters playing the story entirely straight, the movie falls into this category thanks to its extremely low budget showing at times, the plot running on a ton of contrived coincidences, the occasional cheesy dialogue and the terrible acting by some of the actors and some badly filmed moments such as several instances of the kids being grabbed by zombies and it's obvious that the young actors basically walked into the grip of the extras playing the zombies.

No Peripheral Vision: After the kids arrive to the house looking for help and find nobody around, they hear music upstairs and go to investigate. Jorge's dead body is hanging on a wall nearby, but the kids pass right by it without seeing it and head upstairs, discovering the body only when they flee back downstairs after discovering Pedro and Lena's bodies as well as Devlon himself. Likewise with Jorge's body, Pedro excuses himself from the bedroom he and Lena are in, going downstairs and outside to pee, and somehow he completely misses Jorge's hanging body, which is in plain sight of the stairs. Olivia finds both Mariana and Oscar dead, but only when she walks close enough to Mariana's body, and completely misses Oscar's body until she stumbles over it, despite having just walked through that same spot. Both bodies happen to be in an open backyard area.
