Cemetery Man
Francesco Dellamorte is the groundskeeper at a cemetery where the dead just won’t stay dead—and it’s up to him to deal with those who come back to life with a hunger for human flesh. But Dellamorte’s job soon becomes much more complicated when he falls for an enigmatic young woman whose husband has recently died.
Critics Sentiment
Francesco and widow make love on her husband's grave
Francesco murders townspeople and burns down the brothel
The film drops significantly when Francesco's character shifts from sympathetic cemetery keeper to indiscriminate killer, losing many viewers who were invested in the horror-romance blend.
Cemetery Man starts strong with atmospheric horror-comedy that reviewers found visually striking and tonally unique. The film peaks during its romantic-gothic sequences but loses momentum in the middle act as the surreal elements become more challenging and the protagonist's actions less sympathetic. The ending partially redeems the experience with its creative metaphysical twist.
