If you think you hate your job, think again. Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett), the titular Cemetery Man, lives a lonely life with a dead-end career. He works and resides in a cemetery that holds a dark, hidden secret. You see, those who are buried in Dellamorte's cemetery have the tendency to rise from the dead. Francesco's job is to make sure the dead remain dead. When they rise, he must hunt them down and ensure they get their eternal rest. Since his strange career takes up most of his time, there is no room in his life for romance or friendship. His sole companion is his mute, Igor-like assistant Gnaghi (François Hadji-Lazaro). Not surprisingly, Francesco has grown weary of the dull drum and repetitive routine his job and life have become. It is not until he meets the girl of his dreams (Anna Falchi), who happens to be a widow attending her husband's funeral, that Francesco realizes that there may be more to life than this. Sound a bit odd? Well, it is. But fans of the zombie and the 'twentysomething disgruntled worker' genres will feel right at home with this Michele Soavi cult favorite. At its center, Cemetery Man is a black comedy/existential mediation on loneliness and career disappointment. But where Fight Club is entrenched in an action/buddy-flick setting and Office Space is a strict black comedy, Cemetery Man is staged deep in the Italian zombie genre, giving it extra points for originality. --Rob Bracco

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Dellamorte Dellamore.
The film's Italian title translates to "of death of love" and once you've seen the film then you'll understand why, the title pretty much tells you what to expect from this excellent and bizarre zombie film. Dellamorte Dellamore or as the English title is called Cemetery Man was Michel Soavi's fourth film and he managed to make an incredible zombie film that seems different than the others, especially the ones coming from Italy. Italian zombie films were being made by the dozen and these films ranged ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding! A must-see for undead/zombie movie fans!!
Right up there with ROTLD I & II, Land of the Dead, and 28 days Later. Funny, sad and equally horrifying: I refuse to ruin the plot for you. Don't read all the reviews and spoilers - instead I recommend you suspend all disbelief and just sit back and enjoy one of the greatest undead/zombie flicks ever made. You won't be sorry.
Rating:  - Probably The Last Decent Gasp Of Italian Zombi Filmmaking...
Originally released as Dellamorte Dellamore, this is from director Michele Soavi, who mostly to this point was known as a right-hand-man to some of the most inventive Italian directors of the 70's and 80's such as Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava, and Joe D'Amato. He even worked side by side with Monty Python legend Terry Gilliam. But with this effort known in the states as Cemetery Man, he took those influences to new heights of the surreal and in doing so, sort of alienated the core Italian Horror fanbase ... Read More
Rating: - Best movie ever!
This is by far the best movie I have ever seen. The creators were fully devoted even with a small budget. I hope these guys got plenty of awards.
Rating:  - When Your Destiny Revolves Around Zombies, Love Can Bite.
Yea, I'm reviewing another Italian horror film. My first review of such a film (Demons) has been a wild suck-sess. Even though I actually enjoyed it, people didn't like me pointing out the proverbial toilet paper stuck to its proverbial shoes. So, I got hammered with "No" votes. As always; that's cool (by no coincidence, most of those votes piled on after I wrote a review of "Pan's Labyrinth"; my crowning achievement!). Well, here we go again. I saw some toilet paper coming out of the pants this time. ... Read More
