Cemetery Man Johnbobb - 5 Scarlet - 9 JONA - 15 KBM - 15 Karo - 22 Snake - 24 Inviso - 33 Genny - 37 Charon - 40 Johnbobb - This was like Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation levels of me not knowing what the fuck is happening but unlike Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation I'm glad I watched it Scarlet - I came into this film with no expectations and walked away very surprised. The tone and language and presentation of the film were just so unique and really flavorful. Very offbeat from the standard zombie fare, the argument could almost be made that its an artful take on the undead. And, look, lets all be very honest: Rupert Everett was one of the most overlooked actors of the 90s. The guy can churn out a performance. Ive never understood how he didnt land more leading roles. Rating: 62/100 JONA - The strangeness and humor really make this movie charming. Francescos a strong main character and I found the running gag of him never being a suspect funny. I thought the scenes where he was losing in touch with reality was great. However, I never really liked the scenes with Gnaghi. The ending where Gnaghi could properly speak was weird but I enjoyed that. Just an odd, enjoyable film. KBM - Now this is a delightful piece of nonsense. I'll be damned if I can even really tell you what this movie is about (the Weird Fucking Italian Horror subgenre being what it is), but the actual plot of the movie takes a backseat to just how funny and absurd everything is. Rupert Everett is fantastic in his off-kilter role as the eponymous cemetery man (AKA Signore Dellamorte, as referenced in the much better, but too-difficult-to-translate, original title: Dellamorte Dellamore). I found myself enjoying the hell out of this movie's unique, surrealist take on zombie horror, set in a universe where people seem more interested in fucking zombies than other living human beings. Bouncing back and forth from psychological character drama, to dark comedy involving the mayor and his daughter, who comes back as a hilariously mobile disembodied head, to Italian gore-fest material, to even a couple of pretty beautifully-shot sex scenes, this movie manages to tie all of these disparate tonal leaps together into an entirely contiguous, if not exactly coherent, whole. Karo - So this guy works at a graveyard where all the bodies keep coming back to life and these clones of this girl keep wanting to fuck the gravekeeper who might be a serial killer and his morbidly obese r*** sidekick has a love affair with the undead decapitated head of a child. Then the movie gets REALLY weird. The film's dark humor is hit-or-miss but when it is at is best it is the strongest part of the movie, and it really should have gone more in that direction with less melodramatic monologing from the protagonist. What remains is a series of incoherent plot elements strung together into an equally confusing whole that doesnt resolve or explain anything, and has a hard time validating its own existence. Snake - Why I Chose It - Loosely based on the Dylan Dog comic series (the best selling comic in Italy), Cemetery Man is one of the most prominent and well-regarded Italian horror films of all time, gaining a large cult following over the years. My Thoughts** - Cemetery Man is an insane movie that is a compelling, if occasionally non-sensical, descent into madness. Rupert Everett is great in the lead role, and really makes this as enjoyable to watch as it is. The cinematography and visuals are gorgeous too, but some rather strange narrative choices and bad characters drag this movie down a little bit for me. --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:924142174] in Gauntlet C... [t:77812973]...</cite> <quote>21.
