Review of Cemetery Man (1994) by Nate A — 29 Jun 2012
'Evil Dead 2' meets 'Dario Argento'. An existential musing on life, love and death that is surreal, morbid, and really funny. This is very loosely based on the 'Dylan Dog' series of comics (emphasis on 'loosely') from Italy. Rupert Everett is the "Dylan Dog" character (whose name here is Francesco Dellamorte) who must tend the cemetery where the dead rise after seven days of being buried. There's not really much a plot to speak of, just a premise with a series of increasingly weird and gory gags as the groundskeeper slowly looses his grip on reality while meditating on the meaning of life and death.
But you know, it works. A sick sense of humor coupled with some schlock, romance, fantasy, and surrealism...how many movies can boast that?
