Evil Grave: Curse of the Maya

Dawn of the living Dead or Evil Grave curse of the Maya or whatever it's called is not much of a horror movie as it is a unintentional comedy with no rules. It more funny then scary Joe Estevez and Amanda Bauman play a couple who move into a house that once belonged to a Maya Indian family who were murdered. Renee{Bauman}hears voices of the little girl and see a purple sun it turns out the family are zombies who don't know they are dead because they were not buried the right way the killer just thew them in a ditch. Renee see's the purple sun multiply in a surreal scene and wants to help the family by giving them a Mayan burial Todd Briges of Different strokes is in a small role as a mentally challenged worker. This is a fun movie not to take seriously it's worth a look But a lot dosen't make any sense like the ending it not something to watch if you want to be scared.

this is one sick and twisted movie.there isn't a lot of gore,but what gore there is,is pretty extreme.i also thought there was some continuity problems.some of the scenes don't seem to have any context,so it is hard to follow.it's a B movie,for sure,but,despite its problems,i thought it was OK.i liked the music and the atmosphere,and the story was interesting,though not completely original.think Evil Dead and a bit of Child's Play.i didn't think the acting was too bad.i don't think it was great,but i have seen much worse.towards the end,there is a hysterical scene,which sorta reminded me of the Child's Play movies.for me Curse of the Maya,AKA Dawn of the Living Dead(nothing to do with George A. Romero's "Dead" series)is a 6/10

If a weak premise and poor acting weren't enough to kill this movie, go ahead and throw in bucketfuls of 3rd-grade level cinematography, heaping tablespoons of cheesy special effects and sloppy choppy editing and you've got the recipe for this disaster of a movie. Dawn Of The Living Dead (Also known as Curse of the Maya) is the sort of mess that would barely get a passing grade in a high school film class.

It's not even of one of those "so cheesy it's fun" pics. This is the sort of movie that would have made Ed Wood cringe. Do yourself a favor and find something better to do with 90 minutes of your life. Skip this movie!

This film begins with a recently engaged couple moving into an isolated house in a remote part of California close to the Mexican border. That very night, "Renee Summers" (Amanda Bauman) starts having nightmares about a family being murdered while living there. Then, while cleaning, she discovers a room containing what appear to be Mayan artifacts along with recent pictures of the same people she had recently seen in her nightmare. Not long afterward, her dreams turn into hallucinations--and then the horror really begins. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I thought this movie was okay for the most part until about the last 20 minutes or so, when everything fell apart and the story became totally incomprehensible. Quite frankly, I think the director (David Heavener) should have left well enough alone and not gone in for cheap thrills at the end--but that's just my opinion. Be that as it may, while this low-budget zombie film certainly had potential, it's impossible to ignore the rather botched ending, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

i bought this movie on DVD a little while ago under the title dawn of the living dead.now you're probably thinking the same thing that i am.why would anybody name their zombie movie so close to the ultimate classic dawn of the dead.i think they should stick to curse of the Mata.besides irritating David heavener who also directed and getting off to a slow start this isn't to bad of a zombie flick.the gore effects are decent and the scenes of a head getting ripped off a guys shoulders are sure to please zombie gore fans everywhere.also limbs chopped off and intestines eaten and even a vicious zombie baby.so hardcore zombie fans give this one a look .not the best but definitely not the worst
