Girl: No, please don't. He's only eating me.
Cemetery Man is what some people would call a “cult” film with a small but loyal following. Now, Anchor Bays Entertainment brings the cult film finally to DVD. They provide some special features sure to please fans of the film.
We start the film with a man speaking on a telephone. There’s a knock at the door. The man opens the door and a man is standing there holding a briefcase. A close look at the visitor’s pallor and an ant crawling on his ear reveals that he’s freshly returned from the grave. The man on the telephone nonchalantly shoots the other in the head. The man on the phone is Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett). He’s the watchman at the Buffalora Cemetery.
He’s assisted in his duties by the childlike Gnaghi (François Hadji-Lazaro), a cross between Peter Lorre, Curly Howard, and a puppy. It would seem that seven days after the deceased is buried in the cemetery, they return as zombies. It’s up to Francesco to pop ‘em in the head and return them to their graves.
Francesco Dellamorte
It has a slight touch of Evil Dead 2 in its depiction of Gnaghi and his short girlfriend. The picture definitely has an art house European vibe running through it as well (the ending makes me think of this). Anna Falchi keeps turning up in the film in three different roles as girls (she is only billed as “She”) that Francesco has his eye on. She is also gorgeous and I can see how she might become every horror geek’s fantasy - her nude scenes might have a lot to do with that.
Everyone needs a little head
