Critics Consensus

Cemetery Man will frustrate viewers seeking narrative cohesion or coherence, but this surreal blend of humor and horror should satisfy B-movie fans in the mood for quirk.

Dark, bold with twists of Italian flesh eating blood & romance. Great juxtaposition of horror & beautiful views with a your typical zombie horror & nostalgic laughs.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is a wonderful story about love, zombies and a vicious circle in which the main characters of the film fell against their will.

How this film is held in such high regard by many baffles me. I've seen school plays with better acting, the story is one note and the dialogue painfully unfunny.

The veteran ideas of Giallo are culminated into one of Italy's greatest horror films, Dellamorte Dellamore – known as Cemetery Man in the US. This is a love story inside a casual nightmare. One viewing is enough for you to fall head over heels for it and have it break your heart. Memorable performances, with a Byronic lead.

A visually stunning horror comedy that is marred by a meandering and messy narrative.
