Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

'Dellamorte Dellamore' - also known as 'Cemetery Man' - this offbeat horror-comedy blend is set in a town in which the recently deceased regularly come back to life. Rupert Everett plays the main character, a gravedigger who lives on-site so that he can re-kill and prevent the dead escaping when they rise up again, however, the presence of the walking dead is actually one of the less weird things here as Everett later encounters the Angel of Death, who convinces him to instead murder the living, and as he comes across two women who are dead ringers for his recently deceased girlfriend, only to find that both want something from him other than true love as they initially profess. A very funny subplot additionally involves the town mayor running for re-election who wants to exploit his daughter's recent death to gain voter sympathy, but has to contend with her severed head coming back to life. Stefano Masciarelli provides a delightfully uncanny performance as the politician in question who believes himself to have godlike authority; "I command you as your mayor" he utters at an especially memorable point. Interesting as all this is, there remains room to wonder just what the filmmakers had in mind here with a plot that goes in several different directions all at once. The ending is especially baffling and while a macabre hospital visit in the final half-hour is a definite highlight, the film begins to feel less novel as it progresses. Still, this is a daringly different zombie movie in the best possible way and both the original underscore and sourced classical music here are great.

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.

I had seen this years ago and didn't understand what all the fuss was about but I picked it up again now that it is available on Blu Ray. On part of the effects it looks great and it do has an Italian feeling. The parts with Gnaghi (François Hadji-Lazaro) are the funny parts, just watch when he's digging up a corpse but ends up with the head. But the main lead is for Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett) the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora. But there's a problem with the cemetery. The death come back alive, it's never explained why or how they do come alive again but in fact that's what it's all about. Killing the zombies. But this flick became a classic due the gore attached and the effects who looked stunning done by Sergio Stivaletti (did a lot of Italian gore flicks). The crash with the bus and the motorcycle is the real stuff. But it's also famous for the reason that Dellamorte mostly falls in love with the death and the people visiting the cemetery. Most notorious is the love scene with Valentina (Fabiana Formica) in her first role ever making it out on a grave both in full nudity. For me this isn't a classic, but I agree that the effects alone are worth watching. It's a bit too slow in some parts for me, there are better Italian flicks out but at the end of the day who am I to complain. Not really horror and the zombies doesn't look dangerous at all and still you keep watching...Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0,5/5
