"This Alpha Video DVD release of an impressively moody and generally underrated Italian horror yarn is a wretched, unwatchable mess. The image is blurred and smeary, and appears to have been taken from a murky fourth-generation bootleg videotape transfer. The horribly garbled sound renders nearly all of the dialogue unintelligible, and absolutely ruins Aldo Piga's score. This is one of the absolute worst legitimate DVD releases I've ever seen, easily on par with Madacy's hideous TRACK OF THE VAMPIRE/NIGHTMARE CASTLE combo. Barbara Steele and Euro-Horror fans are strongly advised to steer clear of this one, despite the tantalizingly cheap list price."
Absolutely worthless

"I want to reinforce the prev. reviewer who said steer clear of the Alpha Video DVD. I can tolerate a slightly subpar transfer, but this is intolerable.
You can barely tell which actress is Barbara Steele. Avoid."

"5 tombe per un medium directed by Massimo Pupillo, is a lackluster spaghetti horror (as in spaghetti western?)! Also known as Cemetery of the Living Dead, this Italian chiller thriller benefits largely from the presence of the stunning queen of horror flicks Barbara Steele. Generally a bunch of nonsense about a terrible plague, in which the victims are then summoned from the dead by an idiot for some vague reason. The transfer is good, but then film was dodge and dubbed to begin with so beware. Still for Steele fans a nice treat at this price."
Low Grade Euro Horror.

"Low budget horror flicks can be delightfully loony. Low budget European horror can be even loonier. With that disclaimer, we will proceed. A deceased spiritualist and his disciples return from the grave to exact vengeance on his unfaithful wife and a host of enemies. The script claims inspiration in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. Well, maybe. The assertion of source material probably has more to do with the success of Roger Corman's adaptations of Poe than with the Dark Master of American letters. The bleak B&W photography and the average video transfer of the low priced DVD diminish the impact of Barbara Steele, although her dark good looks still manage to project. She appears briefly in the bathtub, and another scene displays ample leg and thigh, but don't get too excited. It isn't that sort of movie. The monsters are zombies (sort of) that carry the plague in their very touch. One problem, the viewer never actually sees the creatures. Hands emerge out of graves, around corners, etc. but the menace is largely unseen, except for the grisly results. The period detail is okay, but the movie lacks the power punch of a Hammer Films color display. Despite the limitations, die-hard fans of ghostly horror can have fun with this movie. Other viewers should creep on by. ;-)"
