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:  - Best Italian Zombie Movie Ever
This is one of the best horror movies ever, very dark humor. I will submit to the reader that if they are interested in Cemetery Man to see Rupert Everett, he is marvelous, BUT this is a gross, mopey and disturbing ZOMBIE movie. If that last part is not for you, walk away. If it is, this is top of the list must see.
Rating:  - Off Center
This is a very off center movie with a great theme and presentation. Entertaining throughout, with decent storyline.
Rating: - Stylish Horror Comedy
a very entertaining film from Michele Soavi, an interesting director who worked under such masters as Dario Argento and Terry Gilliam. Appealing to the eye in a morbidly beautiful way, the sets and lighting really enhance the cinematography. Enough of that...low price, zombies, necrophilia, the incredibly enchanting Anna Falchi nude, guns, laughs.
Buy it now and watch it...twice!
Rating: - Remarkable Film
Philosophical meanderings upon love, death, dreams and caretaking. Filmed in real Italian cemeteries at night, the dead are returners (caused by the subterranean roots) and they need to be dispatched by Rupert Everett. A film for existentialists and romantics and remarkable for its use of metaphysics (the dying living). The photography is exquisite as are the actors and actresses.
Rating: - Rather Interesting
Rather an interesting but strange movie; touches on existentialist themes, and is the perfect example of dark comedy. The movie is based on a series of Italian horror comics written by Tiziano Sclavi. As far as I know, Dark Horse Comics has been reprinting the comics in English. Once again, simply a great movie.
