Reviews
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Kirpianuscus As fan of Rupert Everett, I am just unfair to say something about this movie. not for Everett performance but for simply fact than the film is...bizarre. not for theme but for the balance between genres. it is a film about death but as admirable portrait of life. it is a comedy but enough bitter for could not be reduced at cliches. and it is more an artistic cocktail but a horror. so, a sort of delight. and it is enough.
skybrick736 Cemetery Man, a low budget Italian horror flick, puts a meaningful spin to the zombie genre. There is a deep philosophical approach to the notion humans are "working to die" instead of "working to live". Cemetery Man is a movie that you can mold it to whatever you want it to be, which in turn makes a great movie because anybody can relate to something different. There isn't a lot of explanations to events that happen throughout the film so if you're one of those that needs something straight forward this isn't a film entirely for you. Rupert Everett did a fantastic job portraying Francesco Dellamorte adding to the somber depressing atmosphere of the film. The ending is a bit abrupt but if you can manage to find solace with the film's message you'll be able to truly enjoy the grim, horrific film that is Cemetery Man.
Claudio Carvalho In Buffalora, Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett) is the administrator of the local cemetery and he lives in a house by the cemetery with the intellectually disabled gravedigger Gnaghi (François Hadji-Lazaro) that is his only friend. The cemetery has a peculiarity since the dead reanimates on the seventh night after their death and Dellamorte and Gnaghi together hunt them down. When a gorgeous widow (Anna Falchi) attends the funeral of her old husband, Dellamorte falls in an unrequited love with her. One day, he shows the ossuary to her stimulating her sex drive, and they make love on the top of her husband's grave. However he awakes and bites her, and when she raises, Dellamorte shoots her. On the next days, Gnaghi falls in love with the mayor's daughter Valentina Scanarotti (Fabiana Formica) but she is beheaded in a motorcycle accident with her friend Claudio (Alessandro Zamattio). Along the next days, Dellamorte meets two women that looks alike his deceased love, but his romance ends tragically. He decides to leave Buffalora with Gnaghi, but their journey abruptly ends."Dellamorte Dellamore" is an unconventional, weird, funny and cult black comedy. The surrealistic plot has a great cinematography, direction and performances. Dellamorte is a detached character and Rupert Everett is excellent. Anna Falchi is very sexy and has an amazing body. Unfortunately the dubbing is terrible. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Pelo Amor e Pela Morte" ("For the Love and for the Death")
TransAtlantyk Cemetery Man suffered immensely in the United States from poor marketing by its American distributors. The title was changed to Cemetery Man from the original Italian title and given a schlock and camp-filled ad campaign painting the movie as just another zombie film in an already saturated market. Consequently it was released to critical and commercial failure.Instead of the campy zombie film most people were expecting when they bought their tickets, Cemetery Man delivers something much more rare: intelligent and thought-provoking ideas in a horror film. Yes, we do get our primitive desire to see zombie carnage (and then some) fulfilled but we also get something to think about.See this film if you are in the mood for a zombie flick but would also like something that offers a lot more substance than anything by Fulci and most Romero films post-1978. I recommend this to people who like zombie flicks but also those who like a good drama. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.
