Francesco Dellamorte has a strange job. He lives in a cemetery with his simple best friend and is employed to kill the dead who rise 7 days after being buried. But he falls in love with a woman who keeps dying and reappearing, and he ends up as a serial killer who the authorities refuse to blame for the killings. He begins to question the difference between the living dead and 'dead' living.
A crazy film that must be the last word in the Italian zombie cycle. Chock full of way too many themes for me to even begin to dissect on one viewing. Full of gore, humour and weird sex, this is a highly stylised film with a great central performance from Everett who underplays everything perfectly. Quite why the English version is called Cemetery Man is beyond me as the literal translation, 'of death, of love', is perfect. One to savour, watch again,savour a bit more, then have another viewing.
