Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Sam Panico Throughout the 1990's, Michele Soavi kept the traditions of Italian horror alive. Starting as an actor in films like Aliens 2: On Earth, City of the Living Dead, Demons and New York Ripper, Soavi would also become an assistant director to greats such as Dario Argento (Tenebrae, Phenomena), Lamberto Bava (Blastfighter and the previously mentioned Demons) and Terry Gilliam (The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Brothers Grimm). Finally, he'd graduate to creating his own films, including Stage Fright, The Sect and The Church.Cemetery Man is based on Tiziano Sclavi's novel Dellamorte Dellamore (the best translation is "About Death, About Love"). Sclavi also created the comic book Dylan Dog, whose protagonist looks exactly like this film's star Rupert Everett (and which was also made into a 2011 film).Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett, My Best Friend's Wedding) takes care of the Buffalora cemetery. He lives in a shack, with death and his mentally challenged assistant Gnaghi his only friends. Quite frankly, his life sucks. Young punks in town tell everyone he's impotent. And his only hobbies are putting together a skull shaped puzzle and crossing out dead people's names in the telephone book.That said, he has a hell of a job to do. The gates of the cemetery read "For those who will rise again," and after a week, the dead rises from their graves, ready to kill the living. Francesco must kill them when they rise, even if no one wants to hear what a problem he's facing. Again, the townspeople think he's a moron, the mayor doesn't care and, according to Franco, the town's book keeper, he'd have to do a ton of paperwork if he really wanted the help.While watching a funeral, Dellamorte falls in love with a widow. He waits for her to visit the graveside of her dead husband, then takes her on a tour of the grounds. As they have sex on the graves, her dead spouse rises and fatally bites her. Or maybe it's a heart attack. Or maybe she isn't even dead. That said, seven days later, she also rises from the dead and Dellamorte must put her down as well.Meanwhile, Gnaghi falls in love with the mayor's daughter, Valentina. Even when she's decapitated, he won't fall out of love, instead digging up her head and starting up a romance. And the widow rises again, leading Dellamorte to believe that he was the one who killed her, not her husband. This causes him to either go insane or to begin seeing the truth, as the Angel of Death appears to him, begging him to stop killing the dead and only kill the living.Read more at bandsaboutmovies.com/2017/09/27/cemetery-man-1994/

TGGeeks We had the immense pleasure of screening this film on 35MM during the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego. The print was immaculate. We found this to be one the most artistically beautiful movies in a long time. This gorgeous Italian film from 1994 stars Rupert Everett (as Francesco Dellamorte) and is entirely in English. The filmmaking style is unlike anything I've ever seen before and deals with a cemetery caretaker who must kill the deceased when they return as zombies. The style of this movie clearly took me back to the heyday midnight monster (or in this case zombie) movies. At times the movie comes off as almost hallucinatory in its imagery, but all the while gives us a rich looking movie accompanied by a spectacular music score. It's basically comprised of what could be considered story vignettes, all threaded together by Francesco's responsibility to rid his little community of Buffalora of its zombies. If you're a fan of artful movies, or even zombie movies, then this is a film you definitely need to see!

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")

M MALIK This is it guys i have seen plenty of zombie and horror films all of them fail in-front of this,its not a serious film at all not so famous either but one can agree to why this has large cult following the answer is in this film.The Plot:Francesco Dellamorte is a cemetery man in Italy who kills the dead people again after they become zombies,during this he learns more about life and finds out that there is not much difference between love and death both have some similarities among them,at many places he is confused when he accidentally kills a living person & also his romance with few random women,he becomes some sort of Hit-man crossing the line killing many innocent people in search of peace,will Francesco find what he is looking for or is he like the living dead too.What i really loved about this film are the characters specially She played by Anna Falchi the lead character meets her and have sex with her in the grave yard it's a little bit controversial scene,the film contains some amount of nudity,violence and some disturbing stuff that may offend some people but it should be look at as an interesting take on love,life and death,this guy who kills zombies fails to realizes that if he kills innocents their may be consequences to that but he doesn't care about it,its just like when bad people commit crime some do it for money some do it for fun & others are just psychos,this film exactly showcases all of these stories including Faith,religion etc.The Cast:all of the artists do their best here i cant name all of them but Rupert Everett nails the role so as Anna Falchi she is one of the most beautiful on screen actress ever in the world.The 90s decade had some great stories that today we crave for this was not a Hollywood film i am glad its not,this Italian,Germany & France co production proves that when you have a better script at hand & some great direction you came up with a master piece like this.There is a uncut DVD out there however this regular version is just fine for everyone,it just need to be seen with an open mind its got all the ingredients added here fun,action,horror its a pure entertainment package what more you need,i loved it and i am sure you will too,its quite an eye opener of a movie.Overall Dellamorte Dellamore a.k.a Cemetery Man 1994 is a underrated film it must not be missing at any cost my rating is 10/10.A Must See.
