Osmosis Iron This is indeed a curious treat for everyone who loves some sex(and dark humor) in their zombie violence. Starring Rupert Everett as the reluctant, but badass anti hero?(not even sure) And Anna Falchi as the drop dead gorgeous widow. This movie has it all to make a cult classic. It's deeper than you think, funnier than you expect, and violent as hell! And it's also sexy.. and weird.. yeah.. Go see it now!
Zbigniew_Krycsiwiki Michele Saovi's wonderfully weird and wacky, art house horror flick is also kind of a throwback to the Fantastique genre of the 1970s. Lush, beautiful cinematography, Surreal, Gothic piece about Francesco Dellamorte, engineer- oh, sorry, that's right, he doesn't like to be called that, he's a *caretaker*, at a small Cemetery, and he and his Joe Besser-lookalike helper have their hands full with The Returners, recently deceased who come back to life to devour the living, who can only be killed permanently by a bullet to the head. Dellamorte keeps experiencing visions of a mysterious, nameless girl with whom he falls in love, but then has to kill after she is attacked by a Returner. But she appears to come back yet again.....Atmospheric horror have some great effects, and some really weird touches of comedy, like Dellamorte reading the telephone books for fun and recreation, even going so far as to call them "classics"! (I thought I was odd because I read dictionaries for recreation) Things like that gives the film humour, as well as giving the characters nuances and depth, as does Dellamorte's inner monologue.
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")
TransAtlantyk Cemetery Man suffered immensely in the United States from poor marketing by its American distributors. The title was changed to Cemetery Man from the original Italian title and given a schlock and camp-filled ad campaign painting the movie as just another zombie film in an already saturated market. Consequently it was released to critical and commercial failure.Instead of the campy zombie film most people were expecting when they bought their tickets, Cemetery Man delivers something much more rare: intelligent and thought-provoking ideas in a horror film. Yes, we do get our primitive desire to see zombie carnage (and then some) fulfilled but we also get something to think about.See this film if you are in the mood for a zombie flick but would also like something that offers a lot more substance than anything by Fulci and most Romero films post-1978. I recommend this to people who like zombie flicks but also those who like a good drama. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.
